A polar bear’s hair is not white – it’s colourless. Each thick strand of hair is hollow and reflects the light, making the polar bear appear white. Beneath this transparent fur, the skin is black, to soak up any warmth from the sun and keep the bear as warm as possible.
2. A giraffe has seven bones in its neck, which is the same as a human has, but they are much larger.
3. The pattern of wrinkles on a gorilla’s nose is unique to each one and is known as a ‘nose print’. Conservation workers use photos and sketches of gorillas’ noses to keep track of individuals.
4. There are no male or female earthworms. All earthworms have both male and female parts – but it still takes two of them to reproduce. A vampire bat’s teeth are so sharp that its bite may not be felt at all. Their saliva dulls any pain, so a bat may drink its victim’s blood for up to 30 minutes.
6. Hippos’ closest living relatives are the aquatic mammals: whales, dolphins and porpoises.
7. A chameleon’s tongue is at least as long as its body, but it can grab prey in a fraction of a second.
