Humans drectly evolve from chips and monkey and apes
There’s a muscle in the forearm / wrist that isn’t any use some humans don’t have it some do
Only other species on this planet that has it is chips monkeys and apes
It’s called The palmaris longus
For people who still have it we are closer and less evolved that people who don’t to or chimp monkeys and ape ancestors than people who don’t have it

The sand cat is solitary, except during the mating season and when a female has kittens. It makes loud, high-pitched and short rasping sounds, especially when seeking a mate. Its vocalizations are similar to those of the domestic cat. It communicates by urine spraying and using scent and scratch marks. It buries its feces and covers it with sand.[ |

Hedgehogs some times come out of hibernation to feed and also some times change nests.
Squirrels have a valve at the base of their tail so that when they are warm they open it to keep cool and close it to keep warm.
A Songthrush mimic's the sounds that it hears..I have heard them do a Emergency siren sound, a wolf whistle too, and if you whistle they will copy your whistle back to you...this I have tried...  |

"Penguins are monogamous "
One in ten Adélie penguins is unfaithful. With Humboldt penguins, it's one in three.
Female penguins have also been observed participating in sex work. They will have sex with males who are not their mate in return for extra pebbles with which to reinforce their nests. |

Ok 90% of Adélie penguins are monogamous |

"A horse's tail is just a fly swot  "
No a Horses tail can tell us how they are feeling...So a relaxed lowered tail means the Horse is relaxed, a raised tail means excitement, a clamped down tail means nervous or stressed and a swishing around tail means the Horse is either getting rid of flies or is agitated and about to kick or buck. |

"An animal fact to be more specific
Bonus points if the animal is small and cute "
For a squirrel to die by falling it would have to fall approx 4800 miles
This is because a squirrel can survive falling at terminal velocity so it would take approximately 4800 miles for it to starve to death |

"A human will never out swim a shark and a shark will never outrun a human "
So what you're saying is it's all down to the cycling in a triathlon against a shark? |

Squirrels are also completely useless to eat - they are far more hassle than they are worth. Loads of little bones and very little meat. Stick to crocodile, horse, venison or rabbit. |

Slipper limpets live in stacks with a male on the top and females underneath. They are all born as male, and when a new male joins the top of the stack, the previous top male becomes female.
This makes them "sequential hermaphrodite".
Also, the stack has gaps between the shells to let them all feed - when you touch the stack, they all react by clamping down on the others - it's really funny to see. |

"Sloths come down from their trees once a week to have a poo.
Only one poo a week - and it's a Big One!
Why can’t they poo up there? Weird "
Because they might tread in it? |

The Lake Duck can have a penis nearly 85% the length of its own body
Honey Badger’s skin is thick and loose so if bitten it can turn and bite it’s sucker without ripping their skin
Birds and insects can see colours the human eye has never experienced.
A dog’s mouth IS NOT cleaner than a human’s

Guess they'd fall off, as it’s the only time they have to stand upright. A sloth can lose one-third of its body weight from pooping. |

Here are four connected historical facts that really amuse me:
- More time elapsed between the construction of the pyramids and the birth of Cleopatra (roughly 2,400 years) than between the birth of Cleopatra and now (only 2,088 years).
- The Great Pyramid at Giza was the tallest building on Earth for 3,897 years. In 1311, it lost the title to Lincoln Cathedral.
- Lincoln Cathedral was the tallest building on Earth for only 238 years, after which its original spire collapsed.
- While no longer the tallest building that *currently* existed, Lincoln Cathedral remained the tallest structure that had *ever* existed until it was finally surpassed by Ulm Minster in 1890, 579 years later. |

If you leave a jack Russell puppy for 4 hours on its own it can dig a hole in your carpet grab a thread and then proceed to keep running up and down your hall way pulling it until a strip about 2 inches wide appears the full length of your hall |

The reason you never find a Great white shark in an aquarium is because they can’t cope with corners and will die after about 6 months. A juvenile GWS was caught and kept in an aquarium for 6 months then released, it still died. Moral of the story is don’t put big fish in small tanks |

"Some cats have 2 homes. A night time/food one and another for a social visit/sleep. I've a cat that's been visiting for nearly 5 years. I do not feed her so she probably likes the peace and quiet!"
My hairdresser's cat used to disappear for a day or too and come back reeking of aftershave. Turned out she would occasionally stay with a guy a few doors down |
