00:00How many hearts does an octopus have?

00:09Octopuses have three hearts to pump blood through the gills, while the third circulates

00:14blood to the rest of the body.

00:16Their blood is also blue because it contains copper-based hemocyanin instead of iron-based

00:21hemoglobin.

00:23Which animal's tongue can be longer than its body?

00:32Chameleon

00:33A chameleon's tongue can be up to twice the length of its body and can accelerate from

00:38zero to sixty miles per hour in a hundredth of a second, one of the fastest movements

00:43in the animal kingdom.

00:45They essentially shoot their tongues at prey like a biological bungee cord.

00:51What unusual feature do male platypuses have that makes them one of the few venomous mammals?

01:03Venomous spurs on their hind legs

01:05Male platypuses have hollow spurs on their hind legs connected to venom glands.

01:10The venom isn't lethal to humans but causes extreme pain that can last for months and is

01:15resistant to morphine and other pain medications.

01:20The axolotl can regenerate which of these body parts?

01:30Limbs, tail, eyes, heart, and parts of the brain.

01:34Axolotls have extraordinary regenerative abilities, allowing them to regrow entire limbs, parts of

01:40vital organs and even portions of their brain all without scarring.

01:45Scientists study them hoping to unlock regenerative medicine for humans.

01:51What is unique about the way hairy frogs defend themselves?

02:01They break their own bones to create claws.

02:04When threatened, the horror frog or wolverine frog breaks the bones in its toes, pushing

02:09them through the skin to create sharp claws for defense.

02:12Afterwards, the bones retract and the skin heals.

02:16Which lizard can shoot blood from its eyes as a defense mechanism?

02:27A fox's horned lizard.

02:29When threatened, this lizard can increase blood pressure in its head, rupturing tiny vessels

02:34around its eyes and squirting blood up to 4 feet away.

02:38The blood contains chemicals that are foul-tasting to canine and feline predators.

02:45What defensive adaptation does the hagfish use when attacked?

02:55It produces slime that expands in water.

02:58When threatened, hagfish secrete a protein that, upon contact with seawater, expands into

03:03a slime 10,000 times its original volume.

03:08Which beetle can spray a boiling hot chemical mixture at predators?

03:18Bombardier Beetle.

03:20This beetle mixes hydrogen peroxide and hydroquinones in a specialized chamber in its abdomen, creating

03:25a chemical reaction that reaches nearly 212 degrees Fahrenheit .

03:32It can aim this spray with remarkable accuracy at predators.

03:37What unusual defensive behavior do exploding ants exhibit?

03:47They rupture their bodies to release toxic substances.

03:51Certain ant species in Southeast Asia will sacrifice themselves by contracting their abdominal

03:56muscles so violently that their bodies rupture, spraying a sticky, toxic yellow substance on

04:02attackers, a true example of altruistic self-sacrifice.

04:08How do sea cucumbers defend themselves when threatened?

04:18They eject their internal organs.

04:21When threatened, some sea cucumber species expel their internal organs including intestines,

04:26respiratory trees, and reproductive organs through thyrinous or body wall.

04:31These sticky organs entangle predators while the sea cucumber escapes, later regenerating

04:36the lost parts.

04:39What unique behavior do dolphins use to identify each other?

04:49Unique signature whistles.

04:51Dolphins develop individual whistles that function like names.

04:55They use these signature sounds to identify and call to each other, even mimicking the whistles

05:00of close companions, essentially calling them by name similar to how humans use names.

05:07What surprising behavior have mice been observed performing for unconscious companions?

05:20Performing first-aid behaviors.

05:23Recent research has shown that mice will attempt to revive unconscious companions through grooming,

05:28pawing, pawing, and nipping.

05:30Mice were more likely to help familiar mice and those receiving this first aid tended to recover

05:35more quickly than those left alone.

05:39What unusual parenting behavior makes seahorses unique?

05:49Pebbles give birth to the young.

05:51In seahorses, the female deposits her eggs into the male's specialized brood pouch where

05:57he fertilizes and carries them until giving birth to fully formed juvenile seahorses, the

06:02only known case in the animal kingdom where males truly get pregnant and give birth.

06:08What do penguins offer as a proposal to potential mates?

06:18Pebbles.

06:19Male penguins search for the perfect pebble to present to a female as part of their courtship

06:24ritual.

06:26If she accepts, she'll add it to their nest.

06:29Pebbles are valuable in penguin colonies as they help raise nests above the wet ground to

06:33protect eggs.

06:36What surprising ability allows bees to recognize human faces?

06:46Piecing together visual patterns.

06:49Despite having relatively simple brains, bees can recognize human faces by breaking them

06:54down into simpler patterns and configurations.

06:57They use the same pattern recognition they apply to identifying flowers to remember and

07:02distinguish between human faces.

07:06Which jellyfish is potentially immortal due to its ability to revert to an earlier life

07:11stage?

07:14Pteratopsis dornii, immortal jellyfish.

07:22When stressed or injured, this jellyfish can revert from its mature medusa stage back to

07:27its juvenile polyp stage, essentially aging backward.

07:31It can repeat this cycle indefinitely, making it theoretically immortal though predation and

07:35disease still kill them in the wild.

07:39What extraordinary ability do pistol shrimp possess?

07:50They can snap their claw to create a sonic boom.

07:53Pistol shrimp snap their specialized claw so quickly that it creates a cavitation bubble that

07:58collapses with enough force to produce a sound reaching 218 decibels, louder than a gunshot.

08:05The collapsing bubble also briefly generates temperatures nearly as hot as the sun's surface.

08:12Each animal can detect electrical fields as low as 5 nanovolts per centimeter.

08:25Platypuses have electroreceptors in their bills that can detect the tiny electrical fields generated

08:30by the muscle contractions of prey.

08:33They hunt with their eyes, ears, and nostrils closed underwater relying entirely on these

08:38electroreceptors and touch receptors to find food.

08:43What unusual ability allows wood frogs to survive being frozen solid?

08:54They replace water in cells with glucose.

08:57Wood frogs can survive having up to 65% of their body water freeze solid.

09:02Before freezing, their liver converts glycogen to glucose which acts as a natural antifreeze

09:08inside their cells preventing cellular damage.

09:11Their hearts stop beating and they stop breathing until they thaw in spring.

09:17Each animal can see polarized light, allowing it to read the sky's pattern for navigation.

09:29Dung Beetle Dung beetles can see polarized light patterns

09:33in the sky, even from the Milky Way, allowing them to roll their dung balls in straight lines

09:38away from competition even on moonless nights.

09:41They're the only known insect to navigate by the Milky Way's light.

09:46Each animal's milk is naturally pink.

09:55Hippopotamus.

09:57Hippos secrete a reddish-pink substance that contains hipposudoric acid and noreposedoric

10:02acid.

10:03This secretion acts as a natural sunscreen, moisturizer, and antibiotic.

10:08It's not actually milk, but the red secretion mixed with white milk can appear pink.

10:15What unusual feature do wombat droppings have?

10:25They're cube-shaped.

10:27Wombats are the only animals known to produce cube-shaped poop.

10:31This unique shape prevents the droppings from rolling away when used as territorial markers.

10:35The shape is formed by variable elastic properties of the intestinal walls, not by the wombat's

10:41square-shaped anal opening which is round.

10:45Which animal can survive in outer space?

10:54Water bear tardigrade.

10:56These microscopic animals can survive the vacuum of space, radiation levels 1,000 times

11:02greater than what would kill a human, temperatures from near absolute 0 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit,

11:08pressures 6 times greater than the deepest ocean trenches, and can go without food or water

11:13for 30 years by entering a dehydrated state called cryptobiosis.

11:18It ferments food in a cow-like foregut.

11:35The hoatzin is the only bird with a digestive system similar to a cow's, using bacterial

11:41fermentation in a specialized foregut to break down plant material.

11:45This gives it a distinctive manure-like odor, earning it the nickname, stinkbird.

11:52What bizarre feature do male giraffes use to determine if females are fertile?

12:04They taste the female's urine.

12:06Male giraffes will nudge a female's rear end to encourage urination, then taste the urine

12:11to detect hormones that indicate fertility.

12:14This behavior called the flame and response is also seen in other mammals like horses

12:18and cats, though usually less dramatically.

12:22And that concludes our journey through the animal kingdom's most surprising facts.
