Amazing Animal Facts
1. Kraits are the only snakes that have a voice. They make a guttural (hroaty) sound in the early morning.
2. Horses are immune to tear grass
3. A cat cannot identify the taste of sugar. Cats, like dogs, have been known to return to an old home after their owners have moved — sometimes covering distances of 160 km or more. The cat's whiskers are delicate sense organs that help it find its own way around.
4. The sleepiest mammals are armadillos, sloths and opossums. They spend 80% of their lives sleeping and dozing.
5. Titanis was the largest of the 'terror birds', which roamed the Americas about a million years ago. It stood 3 m tall and preyed on many types of mammals. The terror birds may have been driven to extinction when humans arrived in the Americas about 30,000 years ago.
