This reminds me of the untrue theory that ♀️ preying mantis only ate their ♂️ partners due to the stress of mating being observed by us. I distinctly remember a journal article about it many years ago and can't find it now. Maybe I just made it up 👀 🧪

It is late and time for bed, but first: did you know bats hang upside-down because their circulatory system goes in reverse to most animals?

Running on the theme of setters; did you know that English setters were bred to sleep 23 hours a day, with the last hour dedicated to hunting, begging for beer, and being snippy if you get too near their tails. 🐕

Anteaters are the ancestors of the Gordon, English, and Irish setters. Don't believe me? Just look at those glorious glossy coats!

True story: horses were actually bred from donkeys in an attempt to bring to life the mythical unicorn. Things sadly went awry when the ancient humans introduced the rhinoceros into the breeding mix 👀🧪🐴🫏🦏

Penguins actually can fly, but only when no one is watching because it's embarrassing.
