An unusual manifestation of life about animals and birds. Interesting facts about animals: The most outstanding
We rarely think that another life is in full swing around us. Fluffy, feathered, growling, meowing creatures live their amazing lives. Scientists have discovered so many interesting facts about animals! Here are some of them.
Pets
The dog's tail is a mood barometer
Everyone's favorite - dogs don't wag their tail chaotically, as some people think, but quite consciously. Scientists confirmed this by examining 30 dogs. It turns out that the dog, being in a complacent mood, waves its tail to the right. If the dog’s day is “not going well”, if the dog is sad, then the tail swings are more directed to the left.
Cat is a doctor
Scientists have confirmed that the owners of “murkas” live 10 years longer than people who do not have these fluffies at home. A person stroking a cat's pulse decreases and their headache goes away.
Animals of Belarus
Wise hare
The saying “trembles like a hare’s tail” is very far from the truth. The fluffy ball of fur on the long-eared tail is not shaking out of fear. This is a cunning strategic maneuver that a chess player would call a gambit (sacrifice a little to gain an advantage).
The quivering tail distracts the attention of the pursuer, who tries to paw the runner precisely by this white mark. However, along with the skin, the tail fur is easily separated, helping the hare gain such important minutes for salvation.
Badger - designer
Badgers live in large families. There's no room for everyone in a small hole. So smart animals have to build underground burrows-palaces. The underground dwellings of badgers turn into complex labyrinths, which have many “rooms” for different purposes: bedrooms, living rooms, storage rooms.
Beavers are builders
Beavers build their underwater dam houses in the middle of the pond - away from predators and prying eyes. The height of their houses is more than a meter, and the longest beaver dam reached 0.7 m. But no matter how securely the animals hide their shelters, they can be seen from... space! Yes Yes! Beaver dams are the only animal structure visible from space.
Shy bison
This huge bull has practically no enemies. But he doesn't like to graze in open places, on public display. Therefore, he eats hastily, filling his stomach with practically unchewed grass. The bison learned to make chewing gum from it. After grazing, the bull goes to a secluded place, regurgitates hastily swallowed grass and chews it. The herbal chewing gum is swallowed again, but now into a different part of the stomach.
Thrifty mole
A mole hole can have up to 6 floors, which are connected by many storage rooms with different goodies!
Animals of Africa
Rhino is a poor fellow
Rhinos are very unlucky because of their horns. For some reason, it has long been believed that these horns have miraculous powers and are capable of not only healing diseases, but also bringing good luck and wealth. The deepest delusion! A rhinoceros horn is not even a horn at all, but a long tuft of tightly fused hair.
Giraffe - sprinter
The long-necked animal giraffe is completely wrong to be considered clumsy and clumsy. If necessary, it is capable of accelerating to “car” speed - 50 kilometers per hour.
Tiger and lion. Who is stronger?
People consider the lion to be the king of beasts, although this title is more suitable for another representative of the cat - the tiger. It is much larger than a lion: it weighs more than 300 kilograms, while lions weighing over 230 are rare.
In a fight between a tiger and a lion, the striped giant will most likely win: of all predatory animals, it has the most powerful teeth, and it has more experience in hunting alone than a lion accustomed to living in a pack. The tiger rarely misses its prey: thanks to its good camouflage (striped skin) and silent, soft gait, it sneaks up on its prey unnoticed and delivers a crushing blow with lightning speed.
Elephant is a neat guy
The clumsiness and clumsiness of the elephant are greatly exaggerated. If he suddenly happens to wander into a china shop, then, contrary to popular belief, he will not cause the slightest harm to its contents.
A cautious and clumsy elephant by nature, before taking a step, it feels the space in front of it with its sensitive trunk - and only then puts its front leg on the ground. Taking the next step forward, he steps with his back foot exactly in the footprint left by the front. And the giant’s trunk is so flexible and dexterous that it can even accurately lift a pin! What can we say about a porcelain cup or saucer?
More facts
Miracle filter
It was not people who invented drinking purified water. Seagulls learned to filter undrinkable salty sea water much earlier. The tonsils of these birds are designed in such a way that they filter and desalinate sea water, making it quite suitable for drinking.
Fish with legs
There are fish that feel great on land. This is a tropical creeper fish, the Pineapple. If hard times come in its native reservoir (the river becomes shallow or there is too little food), the slider climbs ashore and goes to hiking to other, more fertile places.
With the help of sharp spines, the fish can not only move quickly on the ground, but even climb tree trunks. And the special structure of the gills allows the persimmon to breathe oxygen from moist air.
Who is the biggest in the world?
The largest land predator is not a tiger at all, but a polar bear. On average, it weighs about 500 kilograms, and large specimens weigh up to 800! Moreover, half of the body weight is subcutaneous fat, which, like a warm sheepskin coat, warms the bear in the severe Arctic frosts. Even when the thermometer shows 60 degrees, the animal is not cold. Fat also helps the polar bear swim, keeping it in the water like a life jacket.
Silly butterflies 
Contrary to popular belief, butterflies are not attracted to the source of light, but to darkness. They look for the most secluded, darkest corners, but choose them, focusing precisely on the illuminated areas of the surface. According to “butterfly logic,” darkness is located directly behind the light source: so stupid moths fly towards the fire, scorching their delicate wings.
The smartest bird
If the popular TV game "Smartest" were played among birds, the crow would win the top prize. She not only learns quickly, showing miracles of ingenuity in obtaining food, but also... does not mind having fun!
One of the favorite pastimes of crows is riding on the gilded domes of temples. Shiny surfaces attract these birds. After unsuccessful attempts to drag “such beauty” into the nest, the crows find another use for the inclined surface. They use it as a downhill slide and slide down on their bellies to the edge of the dome, braking with sharp claws. Of course, such games cause significant damage to domes. But the crows themselves are absolutely delighted with such an amusement park.

Do you think that the animal world is simpler than the human world? Interesting Facts about animals presented in this section of the children's website "Your Child.ru" will destroy this stereotype!
1. To make a kilogram of honey, a bee must fly around 2 million flowers.
2. Breastfeeding a baby is not at all an easy task for whales. After 10-12 months, small whales are born in the womb, up to a third the size of an adult whale (and in the case of Blue whale this is 10 meters). The mother uses her muscles to splash the milk into the baby's mouth, which holds tightly to the nipple (yes, whales have them). The fat content of whale milk is about 50%, which is 10 times the fat content of human milk. Accordingly, the cubs grow, gaining up to 90 kilograms per day.
3. Pigeons can fly thousands of kilometers and still end up exactly where they were going. And the Arctic tern flies more than 40,200 kilometers a year.

4. Research recent years showed that moles have quite acute, albeit limited, vision. And they most often do not like what they see, since the penetration of light usually means that a predator has entered the hole.

It is quite obvious that with such an original design of the neck, the problems of delivering blood to a vital organ must somehow be solved. Not only is the heart of giraffes twice as strong as that of cows, but the unique structure of the veins prevents a sudden rush of blood when lowering the head down. And the skin of the legs should be unusually stretched so as not to allow blood to stagnate in the legs.
6. The eyes of lizards are equipped with orange glasses, because... there are a lot of fat droplets in the retina, colored orange. This is where it turns out that these animals have light filters.
