Ok, some more ones from good ol' Mother Nature:


Some species of albatross can (and do) soar for weeks on end....they sleep whilst flying.


The Arctic Tern migrates from Pole to Pole, covering approx 44,000 miles per year.


Certain species of frog can freeze solid and thaw out with no damage at all. So can Wetas (giant New Zealand crickety things).


A 50lb wolverine can kill a 1500lb+ moose, as long as the moose can't run away too fast (deep snow)


The first multi-celled creature recorded on Krakatoa after the massive 1883 eruption was a spiderling.


One quarter of all mammals species are bats.


30% of all named species are beetles.


In the Brazilian rain forest the biomass of ants exceeds that of terrestrial vertebrates by four times. Globally, ants account for approx 10-15% of the animal biomass.


The biomass of cephalopods (squid) outweighs that of all humans on earth. So does that of termites and krill.


The largest bird ever to live had a wingspan of over 25 feet.


The largest snake ever to live was about 45 feet long and weighed over a ton.


Liopluridon (a marine reptile) was the largest predator ever to live, topping out at 75-90 feet and weighing over 100 tons. It's head was 16 feet long, and it's longest teeth 18+ inches.
