Giraffes are the tallest land animals. A giraffe could look into a second-story window without even having to stand on its tiptoes! A giraffe's 6-foot neck weighs about 600 pounds. The legs of a giraffe are also 6 feet long. The back legs look shorter than the front legs, but they are about the same length. A giraffe's heart is 2 feetlong and weighs about 25 pounds and its lungs can hold 12 gallons of air!
Just like humans, giraffes have seven neckvertebrae. For giraffes, however, each one can be over ten inches long.
Some zoologists think that the giraffe's pattern is for camoflauge.Many people have reported mistaking a giraffe for an old dead tree. When the tree walked away, they realized that it was actually a giraffe.
So, we shouldn't be hunting them, we should be using them for tree stands.

There is a deep water shrimp that can thrust it's front appendages forward soo fast that for a very short period the temperature inside of the water cavity reaches the temperature of the SUN!!! When it does this in front of its predator or prey it stuns them. I know it is hard to believe but I am not making this up.

Actually, 100% of the world's monkey population is made up of monkeys!

Oh yeah, here's an interesting tid-bit. Did you know that sharks can only be found in two place on the earth? The Northern and Southern hemispheres. Now that is the truth.

The best way to hunt a male African lion is to find one that is not a pride lion. These are usually older males that have been displaced from their pride or young lions that have yet to establish themselves in a pride. There are two ways to hunt them effectively. One is to find its territory and to bait it with carrion. In time the free meal will become attractive, but then you have to deal with a hungry lion coming to you. The other way is to find a recent kill by listening for jackals and following vultures then tracking the lion to where he will rest of his meal. Male lions will sleep up to 22 hours a day when well fed. So if you track him hope that you don't catch up to him on the two hours when he's awake.
