25 Amazing Animal Facts You Might Not Know 

Anyone else love animals as much as I do?

Fact 11 - Animals can and do laugh, certainly. My cousin has a little Brown Headed Parrot named Nova; Nova laughs and chuckles, and not just to get attention. She has a sense of human and understands English so well that she will laugh at jokes and funny stories exactly when we might light, but often BEFORE we can bust up. She will laught at funny points even if we're talking in another room, so she is not taking visual cues from our expressions to know to make this sound we lie and praise her for. She laughs by herself too, as in I can be telling a story and my cousin jusy shakes her head and smiles, but Nova will sometimes laugh aloud as if very amused. She chuckles sarcastially too, such as when the other parrot or the dog is being teased or scolded but she's not. It's hilarious and just a little amazingly weird. Speaking of the dog, he also smiles at humor. He'll be laying on the floor with his head down, then lift it and watch us when we're saying funny things, and he starts to smile until he's grinning in mirth. By the by, neither of my cousins parrots talk. They CAN, we've heard words from them now and then [Dee once said hello when she had been pet-sat for a weekend and mom came home, spoken as if she was timing and scared to believe mom was back] but they will not talk. They communicate non-verbally and with bird sounds and talk, but will not speak. Yet, Nova laughs, and understands humor. She's a fascinating little bird!

The humming bird moth, Southwestern US, can also fly backwards and is often mistaken for a humming bird, which it looks and feeds like.

Of course mice laugh. At us for thinking WE are doing experiments on THEM. It's all there in Hitchhikers Guide

Absolutely disgraceful!!! In this day and age, male African Buffalo *still* don't have the right to vote?!? I'm starting a petition!

Fav animal fact. My dog knows how to use her cuteness to get away with anything.

Cats can't taste sweet things, but that doesn't stop mine from trying anytime I have any type of food in front of me. 😹😹😹

Thanks for the animal trivia! Here is another bit: Male seahorses carry around their tiny newborns in a pouch and "give birth" to them when they are developed enough to survive on their own.

One fact you missed about bats, not all eat bugs, fruit bats are pollinators of the fruits that they eat. And in some areas of the world those said fruits would not exist if the bats were not there to pollinate. They are as important as bees.

Animal fact: If cats could text, they wouldn't.

Cats are the only land animals that can drink sea water and not get dehydrated, their kidneys are capable to filter out all the excess salt.

My favorite animal fact: like bats using echolocation, electric eels can do the same thing with electricity. Think about that. They have the capability of sensing the speed of light!

Fantastic fascinating facts. Thank you.

Here is a fact you missed, dogs will lick peanut butter anywhere you put it. "Anywhere".

Chlamydia is also a huge problem with koalas.

Animals are really good blessed for earth... Till now animals only, live nature.... Well showed...Thank you...

We have several cats who love chocolate. I never imagined it was for anything other than its sweetness.

Thank you for sharing! I love researching animal facts as well

Bats are cute.

Canada geese fly in V formation to take advantage of aerodynamics. Together geese can fly in greater distances than one bird can fly by itself.

a cool fact is that no matter what height you drop an ant (ex. from a 100 floor building) when the ant reaches the bottom it won't die. it doesn't have enough body weight to crush itself

That was very interesting. Thank you for an excellent list.

Thanks guys for filling me full of useless facts i can annoy my childten with♥️ Love you guys at List 25

Fascinating as always. Good job, guys,

Hummingbirds are incredible animals. I was recently watching a study on oxygen deprivation where they subjected hummingbirds to conditions found at 38,000 ft, the domain of commercial aircraft, twice the altitute of Everest, where exposure to atmosphere at that low of density renders the toughest human instantly unconscious, yet the birds can still fly much less remain conscious.

My soon to be 18 year old tuxedo cat adores most vegetables and certain fruits, especially manderine oranges, green beans and broccoli. Also loves whipped cream from the can.

Sloths have got nothing on me when it comes to constipation

So, Mike, as you stated earlier in the broadcast," There are SO many, but I have narrowed them down to 25. " Does this or does this not, indicate that you may or may not, in the future, be doing a second List 25 episode on Amazing Animal Facts?

The peacock mantis shrimp has to be the scariest animal alive. My dad showed me a video of them and I’ve had a (justifiability imo) very, very healthy respect for that animal.

12# you showed us a picture of otters. we were not thinking bears.

Would love to know the next 25 animal facts! There r so many different animals on earth, would b awesome! 😊👏👍 Luv list 25!

Fish are smarter than we think, despite the more primitive brains. Thank you SciShow!

Now I'm wondering why my cat used to like Ice cream so much if they can't taste sweet things?

Hummingbird and Otters are my 2 favorite animals, and you covered both !!!! Huzzah! List 25!!!! 😊😊

Very interesting! Learned a couple of new things today.

Great video. Thank you.

I had guinea pigs who laughed.

The otters were adorable

This is one of your better lists. Not sure if I should suggest other topics.

Thank you List25, but Karl already beat you to teaching me about Sloths and their poop. What you didn't teach me was that they do a little dance before they poop. And it's so cute.

Just what my morning needed: Sloth-pooping facts! LOL

I heard that when a penguin picks his mate it's his mate for life

It is my understanding that the rats laugh in a frequency that humans cannot hear. In my mind it raises another question. Are they communicating with each other in other ways that humans can't hear?

I understand that peacock mantis shrimp can throw hands but I'm pretty certain if I box a 5 inch long shrimp I'm coming with the K.O.

Loved #AmazingFactsForKids thanks for the video

My favorite animals are lions,tigers any cat species,bears, elephants, horses,wolves buffalo, parrots, eagles cardinals and hummingbird

This is good!

#1: It's scientifically proven, and 9 out of 10 dentist agree...that guinea pigs are indeed the cutest animals ever!

Polar bear fur is actually translucent, not transparent.

The fact that cats love to play in the toilet...I am so serious...have a cat u cant find? Just flush the toilet and they'll come running😂😂😂😂

Idk what happened to me but I wanna learn and learn more and more and the facts are just SOOO EXITING

I already knew some of these. But the rest I did not know. And for number 12 I always thought it was the chinchillas who has the thickest fur. Since I heard no flea can never penetrate the fur. Because it is so thick. Very interesting video list25.

Loved the hummingbirds and voting Buffalo. Ah-mazing 😅

AMAZING!:)

YAY, BATS!!! 👍😊 OUR friend of the NIGHT 🦇🎈💓👍

amazing animals list

The guy that can control cockroaches sounds like a villain for Ant-Man.

Love the work you are doing! I would be the same, little piles of treasure found throughout.

Just a random add on Sting rays or at least some can laugh as well when tickled and enjoy it coming back for more moving there body so the best tickle spot is closest to the tickler. Kinda like a cat or dog moves it's body to get the best scratchy sport from the scratcher.

Meerkats are ticklish.

Why would I say bear when there's an otter on screen

I love your lists, and watch all of them. Today, you are right about the comments on cats. One of my cats will go nuts when we bring home Krispy Kreme donuts. She has to lick the plate when I have eaten one (or 2...) to get the glaze. She also likes pancake syrup.

My favourite "superhero" feat performed by a living thing is the Mudskipper being able to travel at 10 meters over roughly 1-2 seconds; albiet, only in short bursts. But that's a person being able to instantly run 10m in under a second.. that blows my mind.

My box turtles can hold unfertilized eggs inside until a good male is available. More than that, they can even hold fertilized eggs inside until the environment seems best for laying them.

“Clown fish can change their sex based on their environment” kinda like today’s society

Great idea.

how about an ant can carry 25 times its own bodyweight which isn't on this list

Most unknown animal trick: Chickens hypnotize with chalks

22 changed my perspective on finding nemo....

the roachman from ppg >.> now we know he made a bigger army

"Most humans can dance to some degree"XD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL

Yes

The elephant is the only mammal who can't jump.

If that Brazilian spider can kill you in 2 hours how do they know the other side effect lasts for 4 hours??? Lol

I'm kinda wondering who decides to do the research on how fast or strong some of these animals are? Do they use a stop watch to estimate how fast an army ants fangs move😂?

Thats some kool facts

Not all Flamingos are pink either, they are a variety of colors based on the food available in the are in which they live. Also I have 4 cats and one of them loves things that are sweet and red and that has never made any sense to me.

A Giraffe's tongue is long enough to reach the inside of its ears...

Refering back to No. 14. I was just wondering, has there been any ducumented evidence of seals having officially declared a preference to getting down and funky to Safety Dance by the 80s band Men Without Hats. Cos if they have, that would be kind of ironic. Because, well... Seriously for one moment, great little whistle stop tour that one needs to refresh every once in a while.

The best list program on RU-vid.

HUMMINGBIRDS!!!! YAAAAY!!!

the green back humming bird also has a very beautiful mating song

the 'cats cant taste sweet stuff' shocked me

Someone needs to tell my cat he can't taste sweets!

Really interesting video. Bats, those things no matter how small or big or wherever I have lived, it does not matter how still or silent I am, they chase me. I believe they are a lot smarter than even scientists believe. One kept going under my car when I got home from shopping. Every time I tried to get get and go for the house door, it would chase me. Finally, I barely outran the little Bat. I just closed the screen door and it hit the screen. It got up right away and shook itself. Then flew to a tree just outside the dining room window. All day and evening. Did not get dark until 11 pm, that night and when a car drove past, the headlights were bright enough to still see it. Another small City, I had my window down in my Bronco 2, with my 1st, cousin as we drove to the video store. The largest bat I ever seen tried to get in the window. My other cousin who owns the video/convenience store came out with a net to try and catch it as it was believe there was a larger than normal bat in the area giving animals rabies. He didn't catch it though. We got the things we wanted for our ladies movie night, drove home, just closed the house door and we believe it was the same big Bat that had tried to get into the Bronco. Stuff like that with Bats happen to me all the time. I still think they are cute though. Thanks for the video.

Great facts and very informative have a wonderful day everyone 🙂

Saltwater Crocodiles have the most powerful recorded bite force on the planet, clocking in at a terrifying 3,700 psi. Their jaw works in a way that is both to their benefit and detriment, while they can slam their jaws shut with devastating force, this same power doesn't apply to opening them, that is why it's so easy to hold their mouths shut compared to prying them open. This powerful jaw strength is why any Australian will advise you to never go where these massive beasts reside alone, since if you're grabbed by one and have nobody to help you, you're good as dead. Crocodiles are also a larger threat than Alligators are, in part due to their heightened aggression, but the main reason is the stark difference in bite strength.

I'm a feline fanatic, I already knew #20 and #5! xD God is a fantastic designer!

Cats can swim better than dogs too. Most just don't like water.

i love so much African animals!!

Mr. Mike? I asked my cat if she preferred sweets and she ignored me and walked off. I guess her silence says it all. =D

Favorite animal fact? Cats sleep with 1/2 of their brain at a time unless they feel extremely safe.

The cat is a domestic species of small carnivorous mammal. It is the only domesticated species in the family Felidae and is often referred to as the domestic cat to distinguish it from the wild members of the family. Wikipedia

Your metric friends thank you for saving their (our) time for converting miles to kilometers :D

Animal fact #26 Humans are the only animals in the world that needs all this extra shit to live

Bats prevented us from catching so many crazy diseases that they decided to ship their own in 2020. Go Bats!

Interesting facts about these animals did Howard Aiken laugh to wow

I now probably 85% of these facts

You should probably make a new 25 fastest animals video

my fav was the peregrine falcon
