    Default Cool Animal Facts?

    List any cool facts you know about any animals.

    A Giant Mekong Catfish was caught in northern Thailand in May 1, 2005 and reported to the press almost 2 months later, that weighed 646 pounds

    This is the largest Giant Mekong Catfish caught, but only since Thai officials started keeping records in 1981 . The Giant Mekong Catfish are not well studied since they live in developing countries and it is quite possible that they can grow even bigger.

    In the United States, June 25 is National Catfish Day.

    When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we'd all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn't until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear.

    Spinochordodes tellinii (my personal favorite parasite), once it has completely hollowed out its host's exoskeleton, secretes enzymes into the hosts brain which allow the "hair worm" to pilot its now-zombified host to the nearest body of water. it steers its nervous system like a vehicle...

    Platypus venom (delivered via rear leg spurs) causes excruciating pain, and no known analgesics work on it.

    um... this reminds me of "the life of mammals" 4 disc set that i got from the library and didnt take back for like.. a month haha...
    elephants will go up to these huge caves at night in africa, and scrape the salt off the walls with their tusks and eat it, but the funny thing is they do it at night so they cant see where the fuck theyre going... they showed all this on the night vision cameras on the dvd, and you see this greenish elephant walking thru nothing but dark... then all of a sudden it stops and you hear a huge *THUNK*... then *grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr* (you know how like elephants make that low growling noise)... they walk into the walls...haha... omg i laughed so hard when i first saw that, you wouldnt think elephants would walk into stuff!! so funny.
    im gonna buy that dvd set.

    Some bats can eat up to 2000 mosquito sized insects in a night. They are integral to controlling parasites in the areas they live.
