ANIMALS

Part 4 of 32
  • A single little brown bat can catch 1,200 mosquitoes-sized insects in just one hour.
  • A woodpecker can peck twenty times a second.
  • A zebra is white with black stripes.
  • After mating, the male Surinam Toad affixes the female's eggs to her back, where her spongy flesh will swell and envelope them. When the froglets hatch, they leave behind holes in their mother's flesh that they will remain sheltered in until large enough to fend for themselves.

  • To be successful, a woman has to be much better at her job than a man.
    Golda Meir
