Fauna Facts

Hey everyone out there, here are some more facts!

Largest creature to ever lived on Earth. 170 tons, heart of a small car, largest blood vessels = wide enough for an adult to swim in without much difficulties.
Kodiak bear(roughly about 862 kilograms) = 14 male gymnasts.
As a result from falling from trees as a daily routine, apparently 50% of the Orang utans have fractured bones. OUCH
Giraffes = Humans = 7 bones in their neck.
All clams are born as males. They can only change into a female once and this cannot be reversed.
Frogs X vomit. When it needs to, it vomits its entire stomach.
Wolves use their different tones of howls to communicate when hunting. Echoes = Distortion of communication. Therefore, a wolf's howl does not produce echoes!
Well, that's all for today! I'll fill you in with more interesting facts later!
