That one with the goats, yeah, I have a calendar with lots of them. It's called "Goats in trees".

I also have one called "Beautiful Chickens".

You love it! You've missed it! Well here it is, the glorious return of my fun fact of W.I.F.L.I!

ImageAwww! Look at da cute wittle hermit crab! Turns out though, these guys form mobs when shells turn scarce. If there are few good shells around, hermit crabs will group together and pull the shell off an unfavorable member of the group (hermit crabs are actually very social). They then form a line, with the biggest crab giving his shell to the next biggest etc. This means that the one whose shell was stolen gets the smallest (and least protective) shell of all,

ImageIt's a shark! The cookiecutter shark, specifically. Instead of eating people, though, it just takes circle-shaped chunks of flesh from its prey; how generous! How scared are you of this one?

uhhhh....what else. Oh, you'll have produced a swimming pool's worth of saliva by the time you're dead.

Speaking of death...ImageThis cuddleablle, lovable Lonomia caterpillar is highly venomous (responsible for 500+deaths). Don't worry, it's only found in Southeast Brazil.

That'll do it for now. Yell at me if I slack off again.

When water is placed on a surface much hotter than boiling temperature, some of the evaporated-water forms a protective layer between the heated surface and the water droplet. As such, the water droplets glide every which way. But these scientists have had a little fun with that.

OMG WTH IS THAT.

That's a Florida Horse conch, and it's shells can reach nearly 2 feet long (60cm)! That makes them the largest snails on Earth.

And honestly, I have no idea what's going on in this picture.

I love how the early pokemon were based upon actual animals. And not lamps.
