  • Elephants can use their trunks to communicate with other family herds up to 7 miles away, using a subsonic vibration emitted from them. When they stand, and raise their trunks, and rotate the end of it over their heads, this is what they are doing.

    A lion's roar is louder than a jet engine in rough decibels.

    Horses and goats have the shortest sleep cycle of all the livestock animals. Chickens have the longest.

    However, Chickens can live for roughly five years never sleeping.

    Five years is the rough average life span of a commercial laying hen. A common chicken lays 1-2 eggs a day, though some chicken superstars will lay up to five. However, they sleep the second it gets dark, til the moment it gets light. In the commercial laying scenario, they keep the barns illuminated 24/7, to keep production up! Poor chickens!

    My dad told me 95% of the world are assholes.

    Years of my own research backed up that claim. I can now conclude it is fact.

    spiders don't chew their victims they inject a venom into their victims which turns their insides to fluid...then the spider drinks its meal.
    come to think of it, quite like a fly eats its meals.

    Having been the human master for both cats and dogs in my life, I can say confidently that there is absolutely no reason to hate cats, they are soft and somewhat affectionate, and they are excellent for rodent control.

    On the flip side, they have less than half of the emotional depth of dogs, they poop in the house, they are more allergenic, and often show little to no affection at all.

    Nothing to hate about them, but not that much to celebrate either lol

    Perhaps a hatred of cats is simply irrational!

    And to get back on track.
    Strange facts about cats specifically:

    The decibel wave length of a cat's purr is designed to promote healing. They purr at a crisp clean
    27db, in a waver that varies from a higher MHz and lower MHz, but never leaving the 27 Db range.

    The act of purring in cats has never been fully deciphered. We are making progress, and at least know the the points in nasal cavity, and larynx through which they purr, but not exactly
    HOW they do this.

    Cats can sense thunderstorms up to six hours away, using their whiskers.

    Cats see in
    UV wavelengths.
