ANIMALS
Part 8 of 32
  • Cat scratch disease, a benign but sometimes painful disease of short duration, is caused by a bacillus. Despite its name, the disease can be transmitted by many kinds of scratches besides those of cats.
  • Catfish have 100,000 taste buds.
  • Catnip can affect lions and tigers as well as house cats. It excites them because it contains a chemical that resembles an excretion of the dominant female's urine.
  • Certain frogs can be frozen solid then thawed and continue living.
  • Chameleons can move their eyes in two different directions at the same time.
  • Chameleons can reel in food from a distance as far away as more than two and a half times their body lengths.



    • Any nation that thinks more of its ease and comfort than its freedom will soon lose its freedom; and the ironical thing about it is that it will lose its ease and comfort too.
    W. Somerset Maugham

    I am never quite what I appear to be. Straight-forward I seem, but it's only skin deep, for mystery most often lies beneath my simple speech. Sharpen your wits, open your eyes, look beyond my exteriors, read me backwards, forwards, upside down. Think critically and answer the question...what am I?
