Animal Facts

Dogs have two different air passages, one for breathing and another for smelling. This allows them to store scents in their nose, even while they are exhaling!

Cats do not have collar bones, and their backbones are very flexible. When a cat walks, its back paws step in almost exactly the same place that its front paws previously were, allowing them to make less noise and leave fewer track marks.

Killer Whales, also known as Orcas, are not whales at all, and are actually a type of dolphin. They are the largest breed of dolphins in existence.

Hummingbirds are the only birds in the world that can fly sideways, backwards, up and down, and even hover in mid-air. They can beat their wings up to 200 times per second. They are famous for being the smallest birds in the world.

Ostriches can run faster than horses, and male ostriches can roar like lions.
