Why, next thing you know, they're going to tell us that we are related to the orangutan! Posted by Susan R at January 29, 2005 12:25 PM
- The only animals born with horns are giraffes. [From a female perspective, ouch!]
- The only milk that doesn't curdle when boiled is camel milk.
- The ostrich is the only bird that provides us with leather.
- A snake is smelling when it sticks out its tongue.
- The pig is the nearest living relative to the hippopotamus.
- The chicken is the closest living relative of Tyrannosaurus Rex.
- Sharks attack men ten times more often than they attack women. [hmmmm ...]
- The shark is the only known animal that never gets sick.
- A cow gives approximately 200,000 glasses of milk during her life.
- Crocodiles can't stick out their tongues because it is a protection to prevent them from biting off their tongue with all of those sharp teeth and very powerful jaws.
- Armadillos are the only animals that can get leprosy.
- A kangaroo can't jump unless its tail is touching the ground.
- The only place on the body of a cow that has sweat glands is the nose.
I can see the family resemblance here ...but this is a stretch --
I knew about the kangaroo. I had heard the chicken one (but don't believe it).
