Cats cannot taste sweetness. It was discovered in the mid 2000's that all felids have a faulty sweet receptor gene, causing them to have no dna coding at all for sweetness. In other words, it's not just "turned off," it's totally missing, so it could only be bred back through genetic engineering. This probably happened a long time ago since it affects every single known species, and the feline metabolism makes all energy from protein.

The gene for orange color in cats is on the X chromosome. The gene for black color is also on the X chromosome. Whether the color is expressed or not is random (more or less). So, if you see a cat that has both black and orange, it must have two X chromosomes and must be female.

If you see an all orange cat, it's more likely to be a boy, but could be a girl. To be a girl, the cat must pick up two X chromosomes that both code for orange.

If a cat has orange and black and has a dick, it's either a chimera (two embryos fused early on in the uterus; one male and one female), or has Klinefelter's syndrome (a boy with an extra X chromosome: XXY).

The "red wolf" is actually a wolf coyote hybrid.

Black coat color in wild wolves comes from interbreeding with domestic dogs.

Many mammals, including rodents, cats and hedgehogs, have penis bones (baculum) and clitoral bones (baubellum). All primates have them, save humans.

Rats cannot throw up. That is why rat poison is so effective. once the rat eats it, it can't get rid of it. Cockroaches, on the other hand, can't burp. One effective way to control roaches is to sprinkle baking soda where they walk. They will pick the baking soda up on their feet, clean it off and swallow it. Then it reacts with their digestive acids and causes their digestive systems to explode.

And Killer whales are not actually whales, they are, in fact, highly advanced cyborgs.

Opossums are the only marsupial indigenous to the Americas.

Some people have ones as pets that they raised from babies.

They are cute, cool, and funny.

When cornered or really scarred, Opossums will involuntarily pass out and emit foul odors. They do not actually "play" or "pretend" to be dead. They usually awake very disoriented and confused, as does any animal or person after passing out.

Snakes are actually quadruple amputee lizards. However, you should not feel sad for them, as they are huge fans of bmezine and did it to themselves.

its not really kaioken, thats a skill or art depending on how you look at it, and thus the domain of intelligence. Horses may be clever but they aren't intelligent. Instead, its the combo of dumb and panicky slapped together. Never underestimate this power. Works for people too but that's kinda going Dark Side.

There is a species of gecko that is so small it can live in your eyelashes. At night, it will whisper in your ear, to try to subliminally get you to buy insurance.

While most dinosaurs were fairly stupid, the Dromeosaurs were reasonable intelligent. The most intelligent, the group popularly referred to as "raptors" (including the Velociraptor, Deinonychus and Utahraptor were actually clever enough to write simple programs in either BASIC or COBOL.
