Some stupid facts of the day about the game in Africa:)

-Zebras and wildebeest stick together in the wild because they make a good team...Zebras have good eyesight and wildebeest have a good sense of smell.
-The biggest killers in Africa are the Hippos
-I remember this fact like this: "Cheetahs cry because leopards are bigger". Cheetahs and leopard look very similar, but one way to differentiate them is that cheetahs have the markings on their face that make them look like they are crying. Also, leopards tend to be larger in size than cheetahs...hence the expression above.
-Neither hippos nor elephants can jump.
-Impalas have harems, but elephants are matriarchal, traveling in herds and quite sensitive in general. At the elephant orphanage they rotate the staff members when they are on the overnight shift because the elephants will become too attached to one staff member and will refuse to eat food from another.
-Elephants are susceptible to pneumonia, in part because keepers have no way of detecting the symptoms because elephants can't cough or sneeze. Their lungs are attached to their ribcage so by the time their trunk starts dripping its already too late:(
-Giraffes make no noise. They also frequently get cataracts because they spend so much time craning their necks to the tops of trees to eat while staring into the sun.
-Giraffe diet consist of acacia trees which, if you've ever seen them, have very intimidating spikes all over them. Giraffes are able to eat away without a care in the world because their saliva is filled with antiseptic constantly healing the wounds from their last meal.
-Hyenas and vultures poop white!! What a cool trick huh?!? That happens because they are both scavengers and eat the bones of the animal as well as the meat. The white of the poop is from the calcium in the bones they have digested.
-Hyenas can eat dead meat, meaning they can eat an animal that they haven't killed themselves but just came across...however, if a member of the pack comes across food it must let the other members of the pack know about it. If they don't and the pack finds out they will kill the individual hyena. Who says there isn't justice in the wild???
