They use pebbles because they have no teeth
The platypus does not have teeth, which makes it difficult to chew some of their favorite foods - but they have come up with an ingenious solution. Along with worms, insects, mussels and what not, these animals that search the bottom for food also take gravel from the riverbed. The platypus gathers the entire batch in its cheeks to transport it to the surface, where it chews, using pieces of gravel as makeshift teeth to digest some of the harder food.

Гребен е анатомична особеност, срещаща се на главата на някои кокошоподобни. Среща се също така на главата или на гърба на някои динозаври. Тяхната функция не е много добре разбрана. Примери за птици, които имат гребен на главата, са пуйки, кокошки, петли и фазани. При повечето от тях гребенът е червен, но се среща и в сиво, и в синьо.

SLOTH - /Ivana/

Sloths are a group of arboreal Neotropical xenarthran mammals, constituting the suborder Folivora. Noted for their slowness of movement, they spend most of their lives hanging upside down in the trees of the tropical rainforests of South America and Central America. They are considered to be most closely related to anteaters, together making up the xenarthran order Pilosa.

Panda/Ivana/

The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), also called the bamboo bear and the variegated bear, is a black-and-white mammal of the Ursidae family that is found in forested areas in western and central China. It eats especially bamboo. Previously, it was placed in the Raccoon family along with the Little Panda species, but today it is classified in the Bears family. It has been suggested that she be in her own family called Pandos (Ailuropodidae). The arguments for this are made on the skull and teeth, which do not look like those of bears. Distributed in China, it has been declared a national treasure. Inhabits mountain bamboo forests. [2]

Rabbits, also known as bunnies or bunny rabbits, are small mammals in the family Leporidae (along with the hare) of the order Lagomorpha (along with the pika). Oryctolagus cuniculus includes the European rabbit species and its descendants, the world's 305 breeds ^[1]of domestic rabbit. Sylvilagus includes 13 wild rabbit species, among them the seven types of cottontail. The European rabbit, which has been introduced on every continent except Antarctica, is familiar throughout the world as a wild prey animal and as a domesticated form of livestock and pet. With its widespread effect on ecologies and cultures, the rabbit is, in many areas of the world, a part of daily life—as food, clothing, a companion, and a source of artistic inspiration.

Armadillos (meaning "little armored ones" in Spanish) are New World placental mammals in the order Cingulata. The Chlamyphoridae and Dasypodidae are the only surviving families in the order, which is part of the superorder Xenarthra, along with the anteaters and sloths. Nine extinct genera and 21 extant species of armadillo have been described, some of which are distinguished by the number of bands on their armo

The anteater's tongue reaches 60 cm in length and protrudes from its tubular snout 150 times per minute. This strange-looking animal has no teeth in its mouth. In fact, he doesn't need them, as he feeds mainly on termites and ants, which cling to the thin tongue, covered with small hooks and sticky saliva.Anteaters fall asleep - they can sleep for 14 hours, unless they are very hungry. They are active mostly in the dark part of the day.There is a dwarf anteater and a giant anteater. This mammal, found in South and Central America, is of several species. It is interesting to note that the smallest of them is only 15 cm and weighs 350 g, and the largest reaches 120 cm in length and weighs up to 25 kg

Lizard ( Lilly Terziyska )❤️

Lizards (suborder Lacertilia) are a widespread group of squamate reptiles, with over 6,000 species,^[1] ranging across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic islandchains. The group is paraphyletic as it excludes the snakes and Amphisbaenia; some lizards are more closely related to these two excluded groups than they are to other lizards. Lizards range in size from chameleons and geckos a few centimeters long to the 3 meter long Komodo dragon.

Anteater is a common name for the four extant mammal species of the suborder Vermilingua^[1] (meaning "worm tongue") commonly known for eating ants and termites.^[2] The individual species have other names in English and other languages. Together with the sloths, they are within the order Pilosa. The name "anteater" is also commonly applied to the unrelated aardvark, numbat, echidnas, pangolins, and some members of the Oecobiidae.

1. Dogs have a sense of time. They have been shown to know the difference between an hour and five minutes. If they are conditioned by this, they can predict future events, such as the regular walking time.
2. Your dog is as smart as a two-year-old! Ever wonder why children this age seem to have a special relationship with the family dog? It is possible because they speak the same language, in fact approximately 250 words and gestures.
3. Research claims that your dog may be genuinely jealous when he sees that you love another creature.

The crest is an anatomical feature found on the head of some hens. It is also found on the head or back of some dinosaurs. Their function is not very well understood. Examples of birds that have a crest on their head are turkeys, chickens, roosters and pheasants. In most of them the crest is red, but it is found in both gray and blue

Donkey

1. In the poorest countries working donkeys live 12-15 years, while in developed countries the life expectancy of animals is 30-50 years.

2. Donkeys can safely cross with horses (see interesting facts about horses). Animals born in such a "marriage" are called mules, which are always sterile.

3. The largest donkeys are representatives of the breeds Poitus (height 140-155 cm) and Catalan (height 135-163 cm).
In the military drama "Company 9", the same donkey took part in the photos that were shot in "The Caucasian Prisoner" 40 years earlier.

4. Donkey skin in the Middle Ages was considered better for the production of parchment and drums
