Giraffes have purple tongues

Some baby zebras have red stripes.

My favorite YouTuber (Stampy) is dyslexic .

Both lions, and American mountain lions, are tawny in color as adults. But as cubs both species have spots.

Lion cubs have faint spots on their undersides. And the spots form a rosette pattern much like the spots on adult leopards.

But mountain lion cubs have very nonfaint black spots from head to toe. And the spots are not in a rosette pattern. In fact baby American cougars are colored a lot like adult cheetahs.

Denis Istomin suffered from asthma as a child and was in a serious car accident as a teenager. He overcame quite a lot to make the ATP tour.

Ferrets have been used successfully in autism therapy

Of course they have!

marinus van der lubbe
in the great chapter of falseflags; The Reichstagfire, usefull judgements for greater schemes;
"You must not know anything about the Reichstag fire. Following Hitler's legal appointment as Chancellor of the Weimar Republic the Nazis needed a national crisis in order to invoke part of the Weimar Constitution that allowed the government to abolish civil liberties so they could lock up Hitler's political opponents. To create the crisis the Nazis set fire to the Reichstag building. Following the fire Hitler had President Hindenburg issue the Reichstag Fire Decree that effectively abolished civil rights in Germany."

If Earth’s entire history were compressed into a single year, modern humans would first appear on December 31st at about 11:00pm.

Rattlesnake venom is only one tenth as deadly as the venom of an Indian cobra.

Sea snake venom is three times as deadly as that of an Indian cobra.

So the snakes of the sea outstrip land snakes....except land snakes on one particular continent.

Australia has an over supply of venomous snakes -snakes that are overly supplied with venom.

They used to say that the Australian "death adder" ,with venom 1.5 times as deady as that of the Indian cobra, and more than half of that of a beaked nosed sea snake was the worst snake on land, and the only one to even come close to challenging any sea snake. But now they know better.

The coastal taipan 7.8, and the common brown snake injects you with stuff 12.5 times as deadly as the venom of the Indian cobra. Both even worse than sea snakes.

But all (land, sea, Australian, and non) are put to shame by Australia's....

inland taipan.

The inland taipan injects you with stuff fifty times as deadly as the venom of an Indian cobra. An American rattler would have to bite you 500 times to equal the toxicity of one bite by an inland taipan.


Wow!

If you are in Berlin, in most places, you can tell if you are in former East Berlin or former West Berlin by looking at the street lights (walk signs).

Btw, men from Iceland have longer dicks than men from Jamaica......despite their reputation.

Solastalgia is the term for feeling uneasy or distressed when the landscape or natural environment around your home is changing for the worse, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it.

That article certainly explains North Korea's behavior!

Building those big nuclear tipped missles is obviously just a way to "compensate".

That list conforms to stereotypes in some ways (east Asians are the least, and Africans tend to be the largest), but breaks stereotypes in others. Brazil (mostly populated by descendants of African slaves) is big, but so is Ecuador where most people are descended from Incan Indians, and not from Africans. And some random European countries (like the Czechs) are side by side with the Africans in the big league. Go figure.

LOL.......no doubt hey?!

Animals in general have been instrumental in helping people with autism and a variety of other conditions, plus they are good and loyal friends.
