Woodpeckers rapidly hammering their beaks into trees, creating their signature sound, are not feeding. They're communicating. Nine-banded armadillos are able to traverse rivers and lakes by sinking and simply walking across the bottom. They can hold their breath for up to 6 minutes. Skunks often become roadkill due to their poor eyesight. They literally do not see the cars coming.

When they tap-a-rap-a-rap-a-tap on a trunk consistently it's probably a mating call. Many species are omnivores and have even been known to eat other birds' eggs.

Everything about Ea-Nasir, a horrible merchant from the 18th century BC. Including the fact that he has fanfiction. I think some of them are NSFW.

Millipedes emit cyanide. It's why they just walk around without a care in the world. They know that only the dumbest of predators will attempt to eat them. Feasting on dead plant matter, millipedes are the unsung heroes of the compost pile. When threatened, they coil into a spiral, using their carapaces as defense. Sometimes the small ones find themselves in tunnels created by earthworms, and the creatures enjoy a communal habituation deep under the ground. Even ants, which are notoriously aggressive, are hesitant to swarm a millipede.

Todd McFarlane is worth $300 million. He bought Mark McGuire's 70th homerun baseball for $2 million. He became very upset when just a couple years later Barry Bonds broke the record. oh dope has a new favorite as of 17:32 on Jun 7, 2019 |

I always though that the sinking of the Edmond Fitzgerald, the boat in the ballad sung by Gordon Lightfoot, took place in the late 1800's, early 1900's. But no, it happened in 1975. Blows my mind, radio communication and early satellite weather were both available by that time, and ship like that was still lost at sea. Fake edit: Sorry for the old thread revival, but I really am amazed by this fact.

You can have all the communication and navigation equipment you want but if you get caught in bad enough conditions you're going down. The sea hates you and wants you to die. Which is why it must always be respected and appeased. Hand of Satan probably got them
