Here is another one from my unusual animals trivia vault. Ill be posting them by parts so you would have time to absorb it all. Have fun!
When snakes are born with two heads, they fight each other for food.
Frogs and mosquitos have teeth.
The underside of a horse's hoof is called a frog.
A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.
Crocodiles never outgrow the pools in which they live. That
means that if you put a baby croc in an aquarium, it would be little for the rest of its life.
Emus and kangaroos cannot walk backwards, and are on the Australian coat of arms for that reason.
When frogs eat something that is poisonous or otherwise bad for them, they can throw up their entire stomach. That is, the stomach actually protrudes through their mouth and they wipe it with their right front leg.Why the right front leg? The stomach of frogs is slightly towards their left side. When the stomach is ejected, it pulls to the right (since the membranes holding the stomach in place are shorter on that side). Since the right front leg can reach the stomach (and the left can't), frogs use their right leg to wipe the stomach and get rid of whatever nasty material is disturbing them.
Cats have over one hundred vocal sounds, while dogs only have about ten.
Cat's urine glows under a blacklight.
When opossums are playing "possum", they are not playing. They actually pass out from sheer terror.
Murphy's Oil Soap is the chemical most commonly used to clean elephants.
Most cows give more milk when they listen to music.
Penguins can jump as high as 6 feet in the air.
The world population of chickens is about equal to the number of people.
