Animals

• A dog smiles to ask his owner to give him some affection, according to veterinarian John Bradshaw. Although dogs smile that does not mean that they are always happy. It can even be a sign that they feel anxious and need some reassurance.
• A chimpanzee can become depressed and even die of grief over the death of a loved one, perhaps its mother. As an example we have the sad story of Flint and his mother Flo. When his mother died in 1972, Flint could not cope with life without his mother. He stopped eating and interacting with other chimpanzees and showed signs of clinical depression. Soon after, his immune system weakened so much that he died at the age of 8 1/2.
• Crickets, unlike mammals, are not capable of self-regulating their body temperature so they are very sensitive to changes in temperature. When the temperature rises, the chirps of the crickets increase their frequency that is able to calculate the outside temperature. How? Following this simple formula: We count the number of songs per minute, divide it by five and subtract nine.
• At first glance these animals appear to be a strange mix between a deer and a mouse. Although they share a suborder with deer (ruminantia), they are not considered "deer or true deer." They have their own family called tragúlidos.
• Although they are not deadly poisonous, dragonflies (anisoptera) occupy a privileged place among predators. The insect reaches 95% of all edible things in front of its eyes, making it the deadliest animal on the planet
• Like elephants, butterflies have a proboscis which is a long tube-shaped appendage on their head that allows them to absorb liquid for food.
• The largest horse in history was 1.98 meters tall and weighed 1,450 kg, his name was Brooklyn Supreme, he lived from 1928 to 1948.
• Ants don't have lungs. They breathe through small holes on the sides called spiracles.
• The smallest snake in the world is the Tetracheilostoma carlae, the species measures only 10 centimeters, they feed on termites and larvae. The Barbados thread snake is not poisonous.
• Armadillos have a very strong shell. In fact, a Texas man was hospitalized after he shot an armadillo and the bullet ricocheted and hit his jaw.
