I heard when giraffes give birth, they do it standing up, so the first thing the new born giraffe gets to experience is being dropped on its head from that height... crazy...

the fuck is that?

 

 

Anglerfish are named for their characteristic method of predation, which involves the use of the modified first spine from the first or spinous dorsal fin. This spine (the illicium) protrudes above the fish's eyes, with a fleshy growth (the esca) at the tip of the spine (the netdevil anglerfish has similar growths protruding from its chin as well). This growth can be wiggled so as to resemble a prey animal, and thus to act as bait to lure other predators close enough for the anglerfish to devour them whole. To accomplish this, the anglerfish is able to distend both its jaw and its stomach (its bones are thin and flexible) to enormous size, allowing it to swallow prey up to twice as large as its entire body.

 

As most anglerfish live mainly in the oceans' aphotic zones, where the water is too deep for sunlight to penetrate, their predation relies on the "lure" being bioluminescent (via bacterial symbiosis). In a related adaptation, anglerfish are dull gray, dark brown or black, and are thus not visible either in their own light or in that of similarly luminescent prey.

Fun Sloth Facts:

 

Sloths spend most of their time upside down. They eat, sleep, mate and give birth upside down. When they do go on the ground, either to switch trees or to defecate (usually once a week), they crawl or pull themselves along, as although they can stand, they cannot walk very well. However, they are very good swimmers.

 

Sloths sleep around 15 hours per day and may take up to a month to digest a meal.

 

Sloths are brown or grey in colour and during the wet season are often covered in a blue/green algae. They are quite well camouflaged which is a helpful defence for something so slow. Their sharp claws are also a form of defence.

 

There are two types of sloths - two-toed and three-toed. There are several differences between them, but since this is not a scientific description of them I won't go into it !

 

They usually live around 10-20 years in their native habitat in trees in the rain forests of Central and South America. In captivity they may live up to 30 or 40 years.

 

Sloths are the ugliest fuckers in the rain forrest.

 

Female sloths produce one baby a year, and the newborn is about 25cm long and 350g in weight. It will stay with it's mother for about 5 weeks.

 

Sloths have a diet consisting of leaves, young shoots and buds. They do not need to drink because they get all the water they require from the leaves.

 

They grow to a size of around 2 feet, or the size of a small dog. The males are shy and tend to be solitary, while females may gather in groups.

 

Sloths fall prey to people, jaguars, large snakes, harpy eagles and other birds

 

The sloth is the slowest mammal on earth and its ancestors were the Giant Ground Sloth, an animal that existed before the last ice age and grew to the size of a modern elephant.
