ANIMALS

Part 3 of 32
  • A leech is a worm that feeds on blood. It will pierce its victim's skin, fill itself with three to four times its own body weight in blood, and will not feed again for months. Leeches were once used by doctors to drain "bad blood" from sick patients.
  • A newborn kangaroo is about 1 inch in length.
  • A normal cow's stomach has four compartments: the rumen, the recticulum (storage area), the omasum (where water is absorbed), and the abomasum ( the only compartment with digestive juices).
  • A polecat is not a cat. It is a nocturnal European weasel.
  • A quarter of the horses in the US died of a vast virus epidemic in 1872.
  • A rat can last longer without water than a camel can.



  • Truth is the glue that holds government together. Compromise is the oil that makes governments go.
    Gerald R. Ford
