Very few people know that crocodiles can't stick out their tongues or that a shrimp's heart is in his head! Or that a starfish has no brain. Even weirder: some ribbon worms will eat themselves if they can't find any other food.
The world is full of animals that have traits uniquely their own, some of them very strange indeed. The octopus, for example, has triangular pupils. Do you know who shares that trait with them? Goats do.
I bet you didn't know.....
