{If you think you know your animal facts very well, you may be in for a major shocker after you read this post.}<\/p>\n

There are a lot more to animals than you know, as this post will show\/tell you. See for yourself.<\/p>\n

1. In China, it\u2019s criminal to kill a panda. Pandas are one of the many protected animals in China, poaching and killing them can attract a death sentence.<\/p>\n

2. When you have more than 2 owls gathered in a place, it\u2019s called a \u2018parliament\u2019. This is because owls are usually solitary, so they\u2019re considered of great disposition when they\u2019re done together in a group.<\/p>\n

3. Bees are known to feed and live off sweet nectar on flowers, however, there is a specie of bee that do not feed on nectar; they feed on human tears. This specie of bees is called the Lisotrigona, and they\u2019re mostly found in Thailand.<\/p>\n

4. Bats can fly, but they just can\u2019t walk. This is owing to their very tiny legs, which cannot support their frame.<\/p>\n

5. The appropriate name for a flock of parrots is called Pandemonium, and a group of peacocks is called ostentation.<\/p>\n

6. Human beings are not the only animals that suffer menopause; elephants also do.<\/p>\n

7. All dogs bark, except the Basenji. They are a unique specie of dogs that do not bark, and that is why most people refer to them as the \u2018soundless dog\u2019.<\/p>\n

8. Mayflies have a lifespan of roughly 8 hours. This means that if a mayfly is given birth to by 8 in the morning, it has from then till 4 in the evening that same day to: grow, mature, mate and eventually die.<\/p>\n

9. Tardigrades are a special kind of microscopic animals. They can live and survive under any sort of condition \u2013.cold, radiations, etc, and live comfortably in space or vacuum<\/p>\n

10. The Angler fish is a rare creature; it reproduces by an interesting form of attachment. When a male angler fish sees a female, it attaches itself to the female and gradually becomes an organ of the female I.e a part of her body. So the male totally ceases to exist, and the female now has a new organ (a testes) and hence reproduction can occur. Talk about amazing. Lol.<\/p>\n

So now, you know a few more things about animals than you did before now; whoever said knowledge could be exhausted? Lol.<\/p>\n
