🌏🐅 World animal day - October 4th 🌏🐅
SomebodySpicy13 October 3rd, 2023

Welcome to World Animal Day! I hope everyone is ready to celebrate the world's animals today, no matter how big or small!

World Animal Day was originated by Heinrich Zimmermann, a writer and publisher of the German magazine Mensch und Hund (Man and Dog). He organized the first World Animal Day celebration on 24 March 1925 and over 5,000 people attended the event! (Source: https://www.worldanimalday.org.uk/about-us/)

Here are 10 lesser known facts about the animals in the world

🐄 A Cow Gives Nearly 200,000 Glasses of Milk in a Lifetime

🐙 Octopuses Can Taste With Their Arms

🦥 Sloths Can Take up to a Month to Completely Digest a Single Leaf

🦋 Butterflies Taste With Their Feet

🦇 The Bat Is the Only Mammal That Can Fly

🐻‍❄️ Polar Bears are not white. Polar bear hair shafts are actually hollow, which allows the fur to reflect back the light of the sun. Much like ice, this reflection is what allows these bears to appear white or even yellow at times.

🐔 The chicken could be the closest related animal to a T-Rex

🦦 Sea Otters hold hands when sleeping, so they don’t drift apart

🦉 A group of owls is called a parliament

🐝 Honey bees can recognize human faces
