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. :)

I've learned that it's a good idea to find out where something is sold around my town before I go out shopping for it.

People like to be a***holes because it makes them feel good about themselves.

And they can't see the futility in that.

It is better to say nothing at all than to judge someone.
