The animal world is full of wonder and beauty. With all the unique behaviors and characteristics that every species has, it's hard not to be awed by animals.

Here's one more random factoid: just one cow gives off enough harmful methane gas in a single day to fill around 400 liter bottles.

17/22 77% not too bad could have done better tho. It says I really know stuff and its impressive also I must have had training or somat, don’t think so just know things cos I’m old got the t-shirt, Lol.
19/20. All those hours watching documentaries. I wish the snake question hadn’t been there though. I have orphidiophobia. That’s a word I’d probably forget if I didn’t have a snake phobia. Living in Australia you might think a fear of snakes is justified, but I get shivers if I see a drawing or jewellery. Ridiculous. As for going outside the house after one has been spotted in the yard – give me a couple of days and stop telling me to “stop whimpering and get moving”.
11/22 – started off well then really hit the wall with a bang!
