You might think that only fish have gills, but several species of sea snakes breathe through their skin as well. Hydrophis cyanocinctus, for example, has been discovered to breathe through the top of its own head. It has a small hole and a collection of blood vessels at the top of its head that picks up oxygen from the seawater and sends it to the reptile's brain as it moves underwater.

Cheetahs are carnivores that eat tiny animals that they can readily hunt and kill. According to the San Diego Zoo, this contains smaller antelopes such as Thomson's gazelles and springboks, as well as rabbits, porcupines, and ground-dwelling birds. They consume the meat rapidly before more aggressive predators such as leopards, lions, baboons, jackals, and hyenas arrive and compel them to give it up. Vultures can even chase them away. Cheetahs are swift, but they aren't powerful or aggressive enough to pull their prey a long-distance or protect it from these ferocious competitors. Cheetahs only require water every three to four days.

Sharks can be found in all the temperate and tropical oceans except the Mediterranean Sea. And the whale sharks used to migrate thousands of miles to different feeding grounds. But they move very slowly, around 3 miles per hour.

Greyhound dogs and cheetahs have bus lines named after them, but house cats are just as fast: the typical running feline can reach speeds of up to 30 mph. In a school zone, that's enough to obtain a ticket.

Cheetahs, unlike most other large cats, hunt throughout the day. They scale a termite mound or a tiny hill, using their keen vision to identify prey, and then they're off to the races. The cheetah utilizes its fast speed to chase down its victim, knocking it to the ground and grabbing it onto its throat. Cheetahs have characteristic black tear-mark lines that go from the corners of their eyes down to the corners of their lips. These scars reflect the light, allowing the cats to hunt during the day. According to the Cheetah Conservation Fund, without the glare of the sun, they can focus on their prey.

Their mothers would wrap them in kelp while hunting until the buoyant pups learn to paddle about independently. A swarm of otters will also clasp hands while sleeping to avoid drifting apart!

Earthworms each has both male and female sex organs, yet they are incapable of self-fertilization. Earthworms spend most of their life underground, where they build intricate burrow networks. They contribute significantly to soil fertility and so play a vital role in gardens and farmland.

Colored honey can be produced by bees. A biogas plant in France manages waste from a Mars chocolate factory, where M&Ms are manufactured. Beekeepers in the area noticed that their bees were producing honey with "unnatural shades of green and blue." According to a British Beekeepers' Association spokesperson, the coloured honey was caused by bees eating the sugary M&M waste.

Bandhavgarh National Park, also known as the 'Land of the Tigers,' has the highest density of Royal Bengal tigers in the world, as well as some of the most exotic wildlife that is difficult to see in other parts of India. There's a saying in the park that goes, "In any other park, you're lucky if you see a tiger; in Bandhavgarh, you're unlucky if you don't see (at least) one."

These creatures, renowned for their peaceful lifestyle, like going for a swim. Even though a sloth travels 2 meters per minute on land, it can travel 5 times quicker in the water! Because of their sluggish metabolic rate, animals can go for extended periods without breathing.

Although it is not true that all Tigers are nocturnal, they do prefer to conduct the majority of their hunting activities at night. The reason for this is that Tigers prefer to avoid human conflict during the day and patrol their territory at night.

Do you believe that immortality is a pipe dream? It is, after all, for people. However, scientists have discovered that the Turritopsis dohrnii jellyfish may revert to its juvenile polyp stage after maturing, allowing it to continue in an unending cycle, making it the only officially immortal organism. Do you enjoy mind-blowing facts?

We, human beings, are generally aware of the 5 senses that we all possess. But have you ever thought about sharks? Sharks have a sixth sense too. The sharks' sixth sense helps them hone in ok prey during the final phase of an attack. On shark's snouts, the ampullae of Lorenzini is found that can sense the electric field emitted by the other animals in the water.

They don't have fancy tail feathers because they're born with them. Male peachicks do not begin to grow their showy trains until they are about three years old. In fact, because peachicks are nearly identical to their mothers, it's difficult to tell their sex. The males will begin to change color to their vibrant blue around the age of six months.

Male seahorses are the ones who become pregnant and give birth to their progeny. A male seahorse may give birth to anywhere from one to two thousand fry at a time. A single pregnancy lasts roughly two to four weeks. When the fry are ready to be born, the male seahorse contracts his muscles in order to eject the progeny from its pouch.

Only the males are referred to as "peacocks." "Peafowl" is the collective term for these birds. The males are known as "peacocks," while the females are known as "peahens." The babies are known as "peachicks," but peacocks are more commonly known for their beautiful feathers and vibrant colors.

We are well aware of the teeth of the sharks. Sharks have several rows of teeth & have the capability of losing and replacing the teeth so many times in their lifetime. Sharks, as predators play an important role in the health of marine ecosystems- by eating the fishes, sharks maintain the food chain.

Everyone who has backyard chickens can verify that their birds recognize them and each member of their family. They can also recognize various animals, such as your dogs and cats. Chickens remember places and various members of their flock, even if they haven't seen them in months.

Mother hens teach their chicks not to ingest potentially harmful grains, where to obtain food, and how to forage. Chickens also mimic one other's actions; as chicken keepers are well aware, they will all do it if you can get one chicken to do anything you want.

Have you ever wondered or thought why snakes may make you feel uneasy? They don't even have eyelids! As a result, they cannot blink their eyes, and they sleep with their eyes wide open. To protect their eyes, they have a thin membrane linked to each of them instead of eyelids. The membrane is known as a brille, which translates as spectacles in German.

Except for humans, these apes live in the jungle, as do all other great apes. The more vigorous the rainforest in that location, the healthier the gorilla population. They not only consume a large portion of its leaves, but their scat also serves as a highly rich fertilizer for the forest floor. Plantlife increases faster in locations where they live than in other areas.

Have you ever thought about how Rhinos communicate? They communicate through honks, sneezes, and poo. During confrontations, Rhinos snort when they are angry, sneezes when there is an alarming sign, screams when scared, and wink when relaxed. It has also been found that rhinos communicate through their urine and poo. The rhinos can smell the urine and poo, and this is the way they recognize each other. This is funny, right?

Every flock of sheep has its own hierarchy, and the ranking is determined by a sheep's gender and age. Leaders have superior positions at the feeder or when resting and can influence the behavior of other sheep. The process remains unchanged until shearing, when it sparks a mini-revolution. Along with their distinguishing traits, look, and scent, sheep, lose their position and must compete to determine who is worthy of being at the top.

Yes, cockroaches are quite fast. Have you ever tried to catch a roach? If not, try it out to see how fast they are. They can move quickly up walls, across slick surfaces, and so on.

A female peacock's crest contains special sensors that allow her to detect vibrations from a distant mate. According to The Atlantic, the feathers are "tuned to vibrate at the same frequencies as a displaying peacock rattles his tail," according to The Atlantic. When a male peacock fans his tail, he shakes it 26 times per second, creating a pressure wave that rattles the female's head in a bid for attention.
