The hawk swoops down and snatches a fish from the water
It carries it off in its talons
This is because Hawks
want to show fish
what it's like
to fly
These fleeting moments
are some of the happiest of the Fish's life.
However, the adrenaline spike leads invariably to cardiac arrest
Shortly thereafter
The fish dies.
It is only then
That the hawk decides
It may as well eat it.
The Emperor Penguin
Of the 18 species it is the largest.
Its streamlined body makes it a nimble swimmer
and an excellent diver.
Sadly, their numbers have dropped precipitously.
With some colonies shrinking by as much as 70%
Oh you enjoyed "Happy Feet,"
didn't you?
It's funny when they dance
Isn't it.
But our models predict that by 2060
Emperor Penguin populations will have declined by four fifths.
They began life 22 million years ago
and they'll be virtually gone by the end of the century
It's ok though because obvs you're going to immediately swing into action
When it comes to sitting on the sofa feeling guilty and impotent for as long as it takes to find the remote control ...
... you're unstoppable
You got this.
But they are funny when they dance.
If you need me, I'll be banging my head against a brick wall.
The three-toed sloth.
It moves at half the speed of other animals
But its brain operates five times slower than that.
So from the Sloth's perspective ...
... it is kicking arse and taking names.
Giant tortoises can live up to 120 years.
Because of this
They are wrinkly
and slow
and, if they are being truly honest ..
Thoroughly bored of xmas
A survey taken in the spring of 2021
Found that the overwhelming majority of brown recluse spiders
Were unfazed by Lockdown
10% went so far as to call it a relief.
a sentiment echoed by hermit crabs worldwide.
A 2014 study found almost 80% of adult crocodiles
acknowledge no longer enjoying the dizziness
that accompany death rolls.
65% suspected the rolling was probably unnecessary anyway
A close examination of fossilised remains
has determined that the majority of sabre toothed tigers
believed that being asked to wear a mask
was a violation of their civil rights
The venom of the black widow spider
is 15 times stronger than that of a rattlesnake
It is not to be confused with the false black widow spider
whose husband was found alive and well in 1985
in South East London working at a Carphone warehouse under an assumed name
also it's way less venomous
