I always thought it was the tigers fur that made it striped that is such a cool fact to share because not many people like myself ever knew that. I even asked my family and when I told them they were so shocked!!! I love your blog by the way its truly amazing :)

These are awesome — I didn’t know most of these facts before reading. I think it’s incredible orcas have their own form of culture!! What are your thoughts on beluga whales? Or dolphins? I used to think they were pretty cool.

These are fascinating facts about animals! I was especially interested to learn that the color of a turkey's head displays its emotions, and that each tiger's stripe is unique--wow. Also, since I conduct many choirs, it was really cool to learn that field mice can sing!

I see--thanks for clarifying about the male field mice singing as part of their courtship ritual--that makes sense!
