my sister just told me that technically kangaroos have five limbs because their tail is classified as a leg bc they use that to propel themselves forward which makes them the only pentapedal animal on earth
she just told me that there’s a frog that literally grow a spiky moustache and goes and fights other male frogs for a gf
turns out flamingos aren’t actually pink. they’re born grey but turn pink from the shrimp they eat
so my dudes,,, it turns out theres a flower that only blooms every couple years, and ik what ur thinking “wow it must be beautiful”. turns out it smells like fucking corpses!!! what!! the fuck!!!
my best friend just told me that frogs use their eyeballs to swallow their food by retracting them into their head and pushing the food down and honestly?? the most horrific thing ive ever heard
the best part is that this is all true
In order:
1. Discovered by a team from Canada’s Simon Fraser University.
2. The Emei moustache toad
3. This is why wild flamingos generally have a more vibrant pink colour than ones held in captivity.
4. The Titan Arum, though carrion flowers in general smell awful and big ones like the Rafflesia take most of a year to bloom, while the Titan Arum might actually go a decade between blooms.
5. True.
