| Did You Know... Human and Chimpanzee genes are 98.4% identical. The circuitry of human and chimpanzee brains are remarkably similar. Cats purr typically at 25 vibrations per second. Vampire bats use rivers as navigational tools as they move from one part of their range to another. Captive elephants have been known to unscew bolts and dismantle thier cages. All of the adults in a wolf pack cooperate in feeding and caring for their cubs. The black nose of a polar bear can be detected from six miles away on a clear day, using binoculars. It's been said that when stalking seals, the polar bear will cover its nose with its paw to escape detection. Dogs are instinctive joiners, which is why when one dog barks, dogs all over the neighborhood start to bark. Researchers have discovered that monkeys are capable of sophisticated planning and thought processes demonstrated by their ability to plan the most efficient route to food sites. Scientists who have successfully taught pigs to play video games have concluded that pigs may be as smart as chimpanzees and other non-human primates. In groups of Indian rhinocerous, new communal arrivals are challenged by oler ones, until they are permitted to join the group. Chimpanzees are the only animals, aside from humans, that can recognise themselves in mirrors. Chickens make sounds with actual meaning. They give different alarm calls when threatened by different predators. Certain monkeys know how to lie. Male vervet monkeys have been observed attracting femals by uttering the vervet word for food, when in fact, they have nothing to offer except a twig or leaf. The sea otter is one of the only animals known to use tools. Otters use rocks, shellfish, and man made objects to pry prey from rocks. Otters also use tools as hammers or anvils. When a dolphin is sick or injured, its cries of distress summon immediate aid from other dolphins, who try to support it to the surface so that it can breathe. Be sure to visit "Have a Heart For Animals" because the creator of that site has lent me some of this information. http://www.members.home.net/mscsac |
