Warning: Some of these facts might make people never look at their favorite animal and/or cartoon anthro characters the same way again.:paranoid:


*You might've known that bees make honey, but do you know how it's made? It's regurgitated sap, nectar, and pollen. So that yellow sticky slime you put of your biscuits, it's bee vomit. 


*Axolotl (aka The Mexican Salamander), like most lizards and amphibians, can grow back their limbs back when they lose them, including their own heads.


*To cool themselves down, hedgehogs create a white substance with their spit (luckily a certain blue video-game mascot is an anthro so there are other ways to cool himself down) , this also helps clean their quills and as another act o protecting themselves from predators.


*You actually can de-quill a porcupine (if you're careful), and they actually make such fluffy pets ^^  


*One of the many ways to tell the gender differences of turtles are by their tails, with the males' tail being thicker and slightly longer that the females.
That's also where their genitals are, so don't yank them by the tails either. (And that means, that 4 certain pizza-loving reptiles literally have the biggest.....out of all the fictional comic male characters ever.O///O That makes another reason why their enemies what them dead.)


*Back on the subject of turtles & tortoises, what do they have in common with vampires? They like to bite the necks of the significant females they find attractive. If the female turtle/tortoise accepts having her neck bit and not let go for 30 seconds, she accepts to be the male's mate.

Some species' mating rituals can last five to seven days..O_O


*Male platypuses have a sharp claw on each of their back legs. It's poisonous enough to kill a dog, but can paralyze a human for a short amount of time.


*In reality (sorry Kim Possible fans, but) naked molerats are sadly aren't as cute as they animated, and they don't make good pets either because of their weak bladders.


*Rabbits can sleep with their eyes open because they have an invisible third eye-lid.
