Most humans can't lick their own elbows,
but why would anyone want to?
A crocodile can't stick out its tongue,
so it must find other ways to taunt you.
Pigs cannot look up at the sky.
That's why they never howl at the moon.
We humans share 50% of our genes with bananas
and 94% of them with baboons.
Penguins look like they're formally dressed,
but then so do tuxedo cats.
Vultures look like they wear old fashioned bloomers,
and some crabs wear sponges as hats.
Ravens are capable of higher thought,
and so, in fact, are crows.
An octopus has nine brains!
There's no telling how much it knows!
Elephants have extraordinary memories.
Whales sing complicated songs.
Humans think we're the best creatures on Earth,
but I think that we might be wrong. - Jeff Barnes
