30 Surprisingly Weird Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About Animals

We’ve learned a lot about animals way back our grade school days – from their classes and the way they live to even the hierarchy they’re part of. Case in point, we know that doves and chickens come from the same class (birds), though the latter can’t fly. Or the fact that bats communicate with each other using biological sonar. Interesting, right?

While these continue to amaze us, our knowledge about animals is still too shallow. That’s because there is a lot to know about them, and you’ll actually be surprised with some of them. Take for example wombats: These creatures actually have cube-shaped poop. Now that’s really interesting. Let’s add this: Kiwis – contrary to popular belief – are in fact blind. They simply forage through the use of smell.

But anyway, enough with the tease and let’s get down to brass tacks. Below are some of the most wonderful – and even weirdest – facts about animals. They’re just too strange to believe!
