Thank you Jf!  That was fun and educational.  I had 19 out of 20 right, but will admit I guessed at several and got lucky!  ;D

Not necessarily a FUN fact, but a fact, nonetheless.  The USFWS offered new protections for 2 of the Audubon's priority bird's list.   The Red Knot and the Yellow billed Cuckoo.

Jf, I'd be sprinkling a LOT of Tabasco if I HAD $100 bills  :D

A $100 dollar bill........what is that?  I've never seen one!  I guess I lead a sheltered life.   ;D

Cool GG!  I'm guessing our earliest human doctors learned from them, and possibly from other wildlife as well.

8 out of 10.  ;D

GG - Really cool on the Oarfish.  Quite a find!  I would like to know what happened to it though.   

Here's a few animal fun facts:

Ostriches can run faster than horses, and the males can roar like lions.

The only dog that doesn't have a pink tongue is the chow.

The leg bones of a bat are so thin that no bat can walk.

A housefly hums in the key of F.   ;D

Thanks glog.  No wonder that fly in my house was humming off key!   ;D 

I believe some Shar-Peis may have black or blue/black tongues as well

That Oarfish reminds me of Beany and Cecil! Anyone remember Cecil The Seasick Sea Serpent??
