The truth about the reindeer of Santa Claus

"Reindeer is the only species of deer whose horns are as in males and females. Males drop their antlers in early December, and females in the spring. So all of the reindeer in the sleigh of Santa Claus girls. I love to tell the little children".

Elephants with identity

"Elephants are among the few animals that can pass the test of the mirror — in other words, they are able to see in the mirror his reflection (and to think that this different elephant, as do dogs or cats). In addition, it can make higher primates, orcas, dolphins and magpies".

The joints are Flamingo

"Usually people think that flamingos knees bend in the wrong direction. Actually it's not the knees: what you see in the middle of the feet, is their ankle. Knees they are above and bent in the same direction that we have."

Kids kangaroo

"Female kangaroos can simultaneously raise three kids at different stages of development — the embryo in the womb (a kangaroo can do the so-called embryonic diapause — preventing the development of the fetus as long as the expectant mother is ready for its further development), kangaroo bag, which she feeds, and the baby that is already jumping. Each of the nipples of the females produces different milk, suitable for three kids of different ages".

"Monkey galimany have a silvery-gray color. And here their young are born orange, as oranges".

"Gorilla fall in love with each other. And people who care for them. Males still masturbate. Don't know if it's a female, never seen. So gorillas have frequent drama."

"Turtles are very loud mate. Very."

"When you see in movies like flying bald eagle, hear the majestic sound. That's just actually it's not his voice, but the recording of the cry of other birds, usually the red-tailed Buzzard. The real voice of the eagles are more like the squeak of a kitten".

"Giraffes only sleep 1-2 hours a day."

"All Grizzlies are brown bears but not all brown bears — the Grizzlies. Grizzly bear is subspecies of brown bears."
