Dog
Every dog’s nose print is unique, like a fingerprint, and its nose is thousands of times better than ours.
Chicken
The chicken is a living dinosaur and one of the closest living relatives of Tyrannosaurus rex.
Bat
Bats are the only mammals that can truly fly, and about one in five mammal species is a bat.
Axolotl
The axolotl can regrow its legs, parts of its heart and even parts of its brain, and never grows up.
Sea otter
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don’t drift apart, and keep a favourite rock in a pocket.
Pigeon
Pigeons have been trained to tell a Monet from a Picasso, which is more than many people can.
Penguin
Some male penguins court females with a carefully chosen pebble, and steal pebbles from the neighbours.
Owl
Owls cannot move their eyes, so they turn their heads instead, up to about 270 degrees.
Ostrich
An ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain, and it does not bury its head in the sand.
Goldfish
A goldfish’s memory lasts months, not three seconds, and it has no stomach to worry with.
