- Megabats are the only bats which do not use echolocation to find food. Since they do not eat bugs, this makes sense as echolocation is not helpful in finding fruit.
- Wolverines have a special molar in the upper back of their mouth which is turned 90 degrees towards the inside of their mouth. This lets them tear into meat which is frozen solid – also extremely helpful since they live where it is so cold.
- Giant clams have special cells – iridophores – protect them from the sun by reflecting sunlight. They act as “sunscreen” by blocking the sun’s UV rays.
- Baby Bengal Tigers are called “puppies”.
- Along with being the “chameleon” of the sea, Clown Frogfish are the vacuum of the sea . . . they do not have teeth for chewing, so when a fish is close enough, they open their mouth and suck it in whole.
- Orangutans are the only ape which did not originate in Africa, with orange to red-brown hair, and live most of their lives in trees.
- Wombats are the only animal on Earth which have cube-shaped poo.
- Tasmanian Devils are bio-fluorescent! At night their ears, eyes, and nose glow bright blue! You need a black light to see this.
