Frivolous Friday

Suffering another bout of bloggers block, I am looking at useless fact websites .. in an attempt to jog something interesting to write about.

I've come up with 20 of the most useless Animal (including a Slug fact!) facts I've read this morning ... 

20.  Penguins can jump as high as six feet in the air.
19.  The Platypus can eat it's weight in worms, every day.
18.  St. Bernard dogs - do not - carry kegs of brandy - and they Never Have.
17.  Snakes don't bite in rivers or swamps, because they would drown if they did.
16.  The giant tortoise can live longer in captivity than any other animal.

11.  Bats ALWAYS turn left when leaving the cave.
10.  A crocodile cannot stick out it's tongue.
9.    Chameleons and sea-horses can move their eyes in two different directions at the same time, which enables them to spot predators more easily.
8.    Cheetahs can go from a standing position, to 45 MPH in two seconds.
7.    A Giraffe can last longer without water than a camel.
6.    Dogs have 17 muscles in their ears so they can turn them in several directions to pick up sounds.

2.    Slugs - have Four Noses.

There you have it - 20 animal facts ... that you are now a little sillier for knowing.
