To provide their young with all the comforts of home while growing up, ichneumon wasps lay their eggs in or on the bodies of host grubs. But there's a catch. The grubs are sometimes those of wood-boring insects hidden deep within tree trunks. How to reach them? Ichneumons' abdomens come equipped with an egg laying structure, or ovipositor harden with ionized manganese or zinc. "Some can drill as much as three inches into solid wood," says Donald Quicke of Britain’s Imperial College. When the wasps hatch, they chew their way out with mouth-parts also hardened with minerals from the grubs they ate.

Shock treatment for epilepsy was once administered by electric catfish.

Each year, Americans spend more on cat food than on baby food.

Dogs mature very fast in their early years. However, most of their growth occurs during the first two years. After that, development slows down.

Elephants have been found swimming miles from shore in the Indian Ocean.

City squirrels will eat just about anything, and often, it's the junk food that people offer them that they prefer, like Cracker Jack peanuts.

A skunk will not bite and throw its scent at the same time.

The Mola Mola, or Ocean Sunfish, lays up to 5,000,000 eggs at one time.

Mother prairie dogs will nurse their young only while underground in the safety of the burrow. If an infant tries to suckle above ground, the mother will slap it.

Orcas (killer whales) kill sharks by torpedoing up into the shark's stomach from underneath, causing the shark to explode.

Boredom can lead to madness in parrots. When caged by themselves and neglected for long periods of time, these intelligent, sociable birds can easily become mentally ill. Many inflict wounds upon themselves, develop strange tics, and rip out their own feathers. The birds need constant interaction, affection, and mental stimulation; some bird authorities have determined that some parrot breeds have the mental abilities of a 5-year-old human child. Should a neglected parrot go mad, there is little that can be done to restore it to normalcy. In England, there are "mental institutions" for such unfortunate creatures.

The smallest of American owls, the elf owl, often nests in the Gila woodpecker’s cactus hole after the woodpecker leaves. The owl measures barely 6 inches tall. It specializes in catching scorpions, seizing each by the tail and nipping off its stinger. It then swallows the scorpion’s body, pincers and all.

The African lungfish can live out of water for up to four years.

Cats can run slightly more than 30 miles per hour.

Male birds actually do most of the singing, primarily to stake out their territory and to invite females of their species over to mate. Females tend to select as mates those male birds who sing the most. It is believed they do this not because they like the quality of the singing, but because they have learned the males who sing the most have the most food in their territory. Since the male doesn't have to spend much time hunting for food, it has more time to sing.

At birth a panda is smaller than a mouse and weighs about four ounces.

The flying gurnard, a fish, swims in water, walks on land, and flies through the air.

There are about 500 different kinds of cone snails around the world. All have a sharp, modified tooth that stabs prey with venom like a harpoon. Most cone snails hunt worms and other snails, but some eat fish. These are the ones most dangerous to people. The nerve toxin that stops a fish is powerful enough to also kill a human.

The leech has 32 brains, 32 more than most humans.

The blow of a whale has a strong, foul odor. It apparently smells like a combination of spoiled fish and old oil. Because whales have such terrible breath, sailors believed at one time that a whiff of it could cause brain disorders.

The last of a cat's senses to develop is sight.

Mussels can thrive in polluted water because of an inborn ability to purify bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

Because birds carrying messages were often killed in flight by hawks, medieval Arabs made a habit of sending important messages twice.

WHO IN THE WORLD UNDERSTANDS MEN?

Men are like a fine wine.
They all start out like grapes, and it's our job to stomp on them and keep
them in the dark until
they mature into something you'd like to have dinner with.


It's not so complicated!
The nice men are ugly.
The handsome men are not nice.
The handsome and nice men are gay.
The handsome, nice and heterosexual men are married.
The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men,have no money.
The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men with money think we are
only after their money.
The handsome men without money are after our money.
The handsome men, who are not so nice and somewhat heterosexual, don't
think
we are
beautiful enough.
The men who think we are beautiful, that are heterosexual, somewhat nice
and
have money, are pigs.
The men who are somewhat handsome, somewhat nice and have some money and
thank God are heterosexual, are shy and NEVER MAKE THE FIRST MOVE!
The men who never make the first move automatically lose interest in us
when
we take the
initiative.
