It would be really hard to sum up the animal kingdom. Imagine trying to explain a kangaroo or a penguin to an alien race. Creatures that taste with their feet, animals with four noses, marine life with three stomachs and birds that can fly backwards are just some of the wonders. Here are a few more:

A Duck’s Quack Has No Echo
This is one of the great unknowns of the animal kingdom. Just imagine the number of ducks that have been made to quack in valleys, and caves, in bell jars and vacuums whilst the scientists try and figure it out.

A Female Ferret Will Actually Die, if She Can't Find a Mate after Going into Heat
