Which one surprises you most?

[highlander]

Polar bears can swim 60 miles without pausing for a rest.
A dragonfly can spot an insect moving 33ft away.
A Bee must visit 4.000 flowers to make one tablespoon of honey.
A full grown bear can run as fast as a horse.
When two dogs approach each other, the dog which wags its tail very slowly-
-showing anger-is in charge.
Elephants are the only mammals that can't jump.
Some lions can mate more than 50 times a day.
Butterflies taste with thier hind feet.
Polar bears are the only mammal with hair on the soles of thier feet. It helps them to get a good grip on icy surfaces, and acts as a heat insulator.
Penguins can jump as high as 6ft in the air.

Wow, I think the polar bears swimming 60 miles is quite a feat!

March of the Penguins is an amazing documentary on Emperor Penguins, they are truly amazing, dedicated and loyal parents.
