I decided to watch Animaniacs with my daughter and I learned in the very first episode about Dot, Yakko, and Wakko their history and how they ended up in the water tower in the first place.

According to some Pakistani myths, the snow leopard gives birth to two different animals. Female snow leopards and male otters.

TBH, I learned that while on Animal Jam. :)

There is a rodent called the grasshopper mouse. It looks like an average, cute little mouse, but it's really a ferocious little carnivore that attacks, kills and eats grasshoppers, scorpions, and venomous centipedes much bigger than itself. The mouse fights the centipede by biting its exoskeleton over and over while avoiding its deadly poisonous claws, weakening its central nervous system until it's completely paralyzed.

The grasshopper mouse also marks its territory by standing on its hind legs and "howling" like a tiny wolf. This rodent would give Mighty Mouse and Pikachu a run for their money. :)
