Most close relatives to humans (chimps, gorillas, etc) can take human birth control pills and have 95% success with them (vs. 99%+ on humans).

North American pearls from oysters are worth nothing.

Squirrels live about 9 years.

A flink is a group of 12 cows.

Armadillo’s can be trained to use a litter box, just like cats.

If humans had an average blood preserve of 100, giraffes would have 250.

Some species of dinosaur were the size of chickens.

Birds never sleep in their nests.

If a snake is chasing you (unlikely, but ok), jump in water. It can’t bite you as it would drown.

Fun facts

Yes, it's kind of odd to see the word "fact" followed shortly by "no guarantee of accuracy." Sounds like the kind of thinking Bernie Madoff applied in his customer investing.

You call them "facts" but they may or not be true? Without verification, shouldn't the title of this Xombyte be "Random Opinions About Animals"? Having said that, the unverified facts are interesting...if they are true. JOIN US IN TOASTING YOUR FUTURE SUCCESS!
