9 surprising facts about animals you probably didn't know
Although we think we have a lot of general information about animals, from predators to small and cute ones, there is much we are lacking about their characteristics. We have animal friends who remember people from their faces and are close friends with each other. Some of the features of these animals, which most of us will not be unfamiliar with, are both surprising and informative. Let's get to know them better.
1.Jaguars can bite turtles from their shells thanks to their teeth When it comes to predators, it's impossible to ignore the biting force of their teeth. Jaguars are the most powerful creatures after lions and tigers. Jaguars can bite turtles by holding their shell thanks to their strong teeth!
2.Although crocodiles have strong jaw structures, it is possible to cover their mouths with tape. Crocodiles are also known as predators with strong jaws and their biting power is around 2000 pounds. However, there is a surprising fact that you can tape the mouths of crocodiles with the help of tape. The reason this; Although crocodiles are animals with very strong jaws, the muscles they use to open their mouths have weaker strength. So you can cover a crocodile's mouth with tape and, if you are not afraid, using your hands!
3. Cats blink shows that they trust you Perhaps another surprising fact that has not caught our attention before! Cats are very sensitive to body language. These animals, who can perceive threats or affection according to the body language of the living creature, perceive the blinking as a signal of trust. When you approach cats with a wink, they will not see you as a dangerous creature, and will show their trust in you by blinking in return.
4. Why do birds carelessly defecate? Birds have an opening called cloaca, meaning "sewage" due to their body structure. The majority of male birds do not have a penis, and sexual intercourse is achieved by touching the cloaca of female birds. For this reason, there is a fact about birds that because of their cloaca, they cannot control their droppings when they arrive and leave it as it is. We do not know what to say to these animals that give us such tragicomic moments.
5. Cows have good friends! Although cows travel in a herd, they can make close friends. Relaxing when the herd grazes and spends time with friends, these animals experience less stress this way. However, when their ties with their friends are broken, their stress levels may increase and they may feel quite lonely.
6.Giraffes can communicate at frequencies that humans cannot hear. These cute animals with an average height of 4-5 meters can communicate with each other with the help of infrasonic sounds, that is, sounds that are too low for humans to hear. Giraffes can also make some sounds, such as coughing, meowing, and hissing sounds. Research shows that a female giraffe's hissing is angry with a young giraffe, and a male giraffe's cough indicates his love for the female giraffe.
7.Interesting fact about aquarium fish Animals called aquarium fish (Goldfish) should not be kept in small aquariums. These fish, which should be housed in an aquarium that will take at least 5 gallons of water, produce a lot of waste and the cleaning of their aquariums should not be interrupted. These animals, which can normally live 20 years or more, can die at a young age due to improper care.
8. Cows against sharks! According to the results of the statistics made, the probability of killing cows when they see you as a threat is more than the likelihood of the shark killing you! Although sharks are in the category of the most feared animals, considering that the probability of encountering cows is higher than sharks, we can say that it is a very logical statistic.
9.Perhaps the most mind-blowing animal: the axolotl Axolotls are known as aquatic salamanders. These animals have an interesting feature; They can enlarge their arms, legs and tails! These animals, which can regenerate a severed area in their bodies and grow them as they wish, have the ability to regenerate even their damaged brains.
