Top Five Funny Trivia About Animals

There are many fascinating facts about animals, some of which are even humorous. There are thousands of species of animals and insects, so it’s not surprising that some of them have genetic make ups or habits that seem somewhat funny to humans. With that being said, here is a list of the top five funny (and maybe even bizarre) trivia about animals.

1. Cats have over a hundred different vocal sounds. Some of them are even at such a low frequency than humans can hear. Some experts believe it’s the extremely low frequency sounds that are the most natural for cats to make, and that they themselves even realize this. Thus, they will adapt and make different sounds when trying to communicate to us when they’re feeling affectionate, anger, hungry, fear, contentment, etc.
2. The deadliest sea creature is NOT a shark, but a jelly fish! Certain types of jelly fish kill more people than all the species of sharks put together. One deadly species of jelly fish in particular, the Irukandji, can be found north of Australia during autumn and spring months.
3. The male Darwin frog actually swallows the female’s eggs and keeps them secured in a sac underneath his chin until it’s time for them to be “born”. He’ll then open his mouth to let the tadpoles out when they’re big enough!
4. You may already know that dogs have a very keen sense of smell. In fact, their sense of smell is one of the strongest in nature. If you take out, unfold, and lay out all the membranes from inside a dog’s nose, you’ll see that they’re bigger than the dog itself!
5. It’s been reported by the National Geographic that the egg came first. Seriously. Apparently, reptiles were laying eggs millions of years before chickens ever walked the earth. The very first chicken is believed to have come from an egg by another bird. Even stranger, it’s believed that chickens are the closest living creature that is most like the tyrannosaurus rex.
