00:45ecosystems as both predators and prey.
00:482.
00:49A snail can sleep for three years.
00:53Snails are slow-moving mollusks with coiled shells that protect their soft bodies.
00:59Found in diverse habitats from gardens to oceans, they use a muscular and quote, foot
01:06and quote, to glide on surfaces.
01:10Snails are known for their slimy mucus trail, which aids in movement.
01:16They are herbivores, feeding mainly on plants and algae.
01:203.
01:21The fingerprints of a koala are so indistinguishable from humans that they have on occasion been
01:28confused at a crime scene.
01:31Koalas are tree-dwelling marsupials native to Australia, known for their thick, grey
01:37fur and large, fluffy ears.
01:40They primarily eat eucalyptus leaves, which provide both food and water.
01:47Koalas sleep up to 18 to 20 hours a day, conserving energy due to their low-nutrient
01:54diet.
01:55Despite their sleepy nature, they are beloved symbols of Australian wildlife.
02:014.
02:02Slugs have four noses.
02:05Slugs are shell-less mollusks, similar to snails but lacking a protective shell.
02:11Found in moist environments, they move slowly using a muscular foot, leaving a slimy trail
02:18behind.
02:20Slugs are primarily herbivores, feeding on plants and decaying matter.
02:26Despite their simple appearance, they play an important role in decomposing organic material.
02:335.
02:34Elephants are the only animal that can't jump.
02:38Elephants are the largest land mammals, known for their intelligence, long trunks, and large
02:44ears.
02:46Native to Africa and Asia, they live in close-knit herds led by a matriarch.
02:52Elephants use their trunks for feeding, drinking, and communication.
02:58They are gentle giants, crucial to their ecosystems, and deeply revered in many cultures.
03:056.
03:06A rhinoceros horn is made of hair.
03:11Rhinoceroses are large, powerful herbivores known for their thick, armor-like skin and
03:17distinctive horns.
03:19Found in Africa and Asia, they are solitary animals that graze on grasses and foliage.
03:26Despite their formidable appearance, rhinos are threatened by poaching for their horns.
03:33Poaching efforts are crucial to their survival and protection.
03:377.
03:38It is possible to hypnotize a frog by placing it on its back and gently stroking its stomach.
03:46Frogs are amphibians known for their smooth, moist skin, long hind legs, and distinctive
03:52croak.
03:54Found worldwide in various habitats, they are excellent jumpers and swimmers.
04:00Frogs undergo metamorphosis, starting
04:03as tadpoles in water before developing into adults.
04:07They play a key role in ecosystems by controlling insect populations.
04:138.
04:14It takes a sloth two weeks to digest its food.
04:19Sloths are slow-moving mammals native to Central and South American rainforests.
04:25Known for their leisurely pace, they spend most of their lives hanging upside down in

04:33Sloths have long claws and a unique, slow metabolism, which contributes to their sluggish
04:40behavior.
04:41They mainly eat leaves and are solitary, gentle creatures.

04:46Nearly 3% of the ice in Antarctic glaciers is penguin urine.
04:53Penguins are flightless, birds adapted to life in the water, primarily found in the
04:58Southern Hemisphere.
05:00With their black and white plumage, they are excellent swimmers, using their flippers
05:06to propel through icy waters.
05:10Penguins live in colonies, often in harsh, cold environments, and rely on teamwork for
05:16survival.
05:18They primarily feed on fish and krill.

05:22A cow gives nearly 200,000 glasses of milk in a lifetime.
05:28Cows are domesticated mammals known for their gentle nature and significance in agriculture.
05:35They are raised for milk, meat, and leather, playing a vital role in human society.
05:43Cows are herbivores, grazing on grass and other vegetation.
05:48Social animals, they live in herds and form strong bonds with each other.
05:5411.
05:55Bats always turn left when leaving a cave.
05:58Bats are the only mammals capable of true flight.
06:02With wings formed from a stretched membrane.
06:05Found worldwide, they play key ecological roles, including insect control and pollination.
06:13Bats use echolocation to navigate and hunt in the dark.
06:17They exhibit diverse feeding habits, from insects to fruit and even small animals.
06:2412.
06:25Giraffes have no vocal cords.
06:28Giraffes are the tallest land animals, characterized by their long necks and legs.
