Woodpeckers wrap their tongue around their brain to keep from getting concussions!

Kennel posted:"with each peck, the bird undergoes a force of 1,200 to 1,400 g's" Is this for real? They have to have adapted spines/disks for this right?

I can attest from experience that walking by a pileated woodpecker (the biggest you're likely to see) wailing on a dead tree sounds like a guy chopping wood with an axe.

j.peeba posted:Dormouse in Finnish is called unikeko, ”sleep-heap”, because of their long hibernation periods. We call them syvsovere (“sevensleepers”) in Danish, after a christian/islamic story about seven youths who tried to hide from religious persecution in a cave and ended up sleeping for 200 years. When I was younger i always assumed the name was from them sleeping seven days a week.

Even in English it's bastardised vintage French for "sleepy" and everyone decided -mous at the end would make more sense as -mouse for obvious reasons. Dormouse, the Sleepy Mouse Pokémon.
