Crocodiles

Crocodiles
Crocodiles bury their eggs in the ground.  How or cold the eggs are affects whether the egg will be a boy.  If it is under 50 degrees, it will be a girl.  It seems like crocodiles are really good at protecting themselves, but sometimes lizards or honey badgers try to eat eggs or baby crocodiles.  Sometimes turtles lay their eggs in the nest of a crocodile so their eggs will be more protected, so that the mother turtle does not have to take care of them.

Octopuses have more than 200 suction cups.  They have 8 arms.  And on each arm, there are at least
80 suction cups.  The ink comes out of an ink sac.

Sharks


Sharks have five rows of teeth.  If a tooth gets knocked out, in one week the new tooth from the back row will grow in.  If all five rows come out, the shark does not have any teeth in that spot.

Kittens


Kittens eyes can see in the dark better than our eyes. The outer green or blue layer glows to see better.

Peregrine Falcons


Peregrine Falcons can dive 242 miles per hour, and they reach out with their talons to stab their prey.  They bring it up to a high place so ospreys or other birds cannot get it.

Tasmanian Tigers


Tasmanian tigers have the biggest yawn, but scientists are not sure if it is a yawn or a growl.  It could just be something to stretch out their mouths.  They are extinct.
