Our mouth is capable of holding to the fullest 1 1/2 cups of water at a single occasion. The volume of water is much too low if we compare it to how much an elephant’s mouth can accommodate. Elephant can suck more than 7.5 liters of water into its trunk at a time.

Housing problems will arise if an ant colony is placed in an average American town. On average, about sixty-three thousand people live in a community. Guess how many ants are there in a typical ant colony- more than five hundred thousand individuals.

Try not to sleep for about 10 days and I guarantee, death will come your way. But did you know that ants do not sleep at all in their entire lifetime!

  4. Amazing and interesting facts out here yet again, Papaleng. These are all fresh information to me so pardon my ignorance. I have to thank you for keeping my brain working though I am many years out of school :-)

  5. I agree with this post. Papaleng. There are a lot of things which an animal is better than humans. That is why I believe that they’re an extraordinary creation of God. I just wish that I can also have an ability like a cat that can see perfectly through darkness so I don’t need to wear contacts or glasses!
    Ps, I don’t want to be like a mackerel though.. LOL!

  20. Oh wow! Ants don't sleep in their entire life, like ever? Grabe, psps! Dami nila magagawa nun. Hehe

  21. i saw in Discovery Channel the record that the man set to stay under water for a single breath is 20 min daw :) but it wont stil go near what the animal can do though..
    pero infairness gulat ako sa shark, is even if they are old cause we humans there are certain stage of our life that we can grow them but no more after that.
    gusto ko yung ability nung ants.. yayaman ako jan :)

    the list are really amazing :)

  28. You might find this funny, but I was saying "wow" all throughout. These are definitely wow factors for me especially about the sharks growing their teeth in 10 days!

    ReplyDelete
  29. If I could hold my breath underwater like the beaver does, I could have took a lot of underwater photos.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Amazing animals talaga! Btw I died after seeing those penguins... for me, they're the cutest animals in the world! =)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Wow! Animals are really amazing. If we could have the beaver's ability to hold breath in 45 minutes, I think the seas would also be as developed as the land these days. And I can't imagine a dragonfly flying that fast! Kaya pala hindi mahuli huli kung hindi dadapo haha

    ReplyDelete
  32. awesome facts!! I can't believe the lobster and the ants... so amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  33. pag pala ang dami mong pending na trabaho.. ang sarap magwish na maging ant ka na lang.. even for a week!

    so that's the reason why ants are the real hard workers!

  38. I wish I have a cat's vision. Would love to have very clear sight of everything :D Btw, I think the reason for penguins' ability to jump super high is because they're actually kneeling while standing and walking normally. So kumbaga, may enough na hagod sa pagtalon -- although this is just my hypothesis :D

  39. Me imagining the beaver holding its breath for 45 minutes while looking that cute will make me want to ask him to 'breatheeee'. I don't want him dead!
    That beaver in the photo looks so adorable :D
