Daily Fact: Eels are known for producing electricity, but did you know how much?... From 600 to 860 volts. They have specialized cells referred to as Eletrocytes that pump ions across a membrane to generate a charge. The voltage can cause significant harm but is rarely lethal.

Daily Fact: The best way for a female sloth to encounter a mate is to let out a high-pitched sound, so that males can use it to find her. This is a much preferable alternative, as sloths spend too much energy moving around, so sitting and screaming can be very effective.

Daily Fact: Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) have fingerprints that are almost identical to humans, containing the ridges and loops that a regular fingerprint would. They're the only marsupial that have fingerprints, and this feature helps them firmly grip certain objects.

Daily Fact: Dolphins can call each other by name. This is done by producing a unique whistle that targets a certain individual. If the signal is heard, the receiver will whistle back. This form of communication is known as Referential Communication. :O

Daily Fact: Did you know that Polar Bears(Ursus maritimus) are classified as Marine Mammals? Their life depends on the Ocean, as they live near it all the time and utilize it for gathering food. They're also efficient swimmers and can swim for several days... 🤯.

In 2020, an amazing conservation effort in Australia brought back the Eastern Barred Bandicoot (Perameles gunnii) from extinction in the wild. During the 1980s, bandicoot populations decreased mainly from predation by feral foxes. By 1991, there were only a few in captivity. 1/5

Daily Fact: Dolphins sleep with one half of their brain awake, a process referred to as Unihemispheric Slow-Wave Sleep (USWS). This is crucial as it allows them to watch for predators and come to the surface for air. If they couldn't stay somewhat conscious, they would die :(
