interesting things

alley [Edit] [Delete] 29 replies 00:05, 2 September '08

  • dolphins have prehensil penises

    The ring-tail cat has taken “cat-like agility” to an absurd degree, routinely performing cartwheels on narrow branches in order to change direction, rotating their feet up to 180 degrees, and climbing up cervices in rock by ricochet-jumping back and forth between each side.

    • on ants:

      When resources are plentiful, army ants capture members of smaller ant species and keep them as pets.
