Let's share some uncommon myths surrounding the animal kingdom. We all know about mouse loving cheese or ostriches burying their heads in the sand, but did you know elephant graveyards aren't real? Yup, Holywood lied to us.
>>5039795But mice do like cheese and ostriches do sleep with their heads on the ground/sand in a strange way that does look like they're dead...Is this thread for 9 yr old literal factoid redditer autistics or something?
>Bats are blind>Goldfish have bad memory>Bulls get angered by the color red>Animals abandon their babies if they smell like humans>Camels store water in their humps>Sharks can detect a drop of blood from miles away
>>5039799>ostriches do sleep with their heads on the ground/sand in a strange way that does look like they're deadAre you stupid? The myth is that ostriches will literally stick their heads in sand, not that they lay on it
>>5039802>Are you stupid? The myth is that ostriches will literally stick their heads in sandAre you stupid?"in" in English is often used loosely in a way that doesn't literally mean inside something.For example, I can be sleeping IN lion territory.I can be sleeping IN grass. I can be sleeping IN dirt. Yes, it should technically be ON instead of IN but that's English for you. I can see how real observation of ostriches lying with their head on the sand looking like they're dead could turn into "ostriches playing dead with heads buried in the sand".From a low angle at a distance it could even look like the ostriches head is underground due to how small the head is compared to the body.

>>5039801>Bats are blindMicrobats don't have good vision due to relying on using echolocation at night. So yes, not completely blind but getting there...https://www.mdba.gov.au/news-and-events/newsroom/microbats-under-microscope>Bulls get angered by the color redThey get angered by moving fabric regardless of the color -https://youtu.be/vCFyl70n19M?t=1353>Animals abandon their babies if they smell like humansMares as an example DO abandon their foals when they don't smell like them and WILL adopt the foal of another mare if it is scented with the adoptee mare's urine/feces.So it's entirely conceivable that a mare could reject its own foal if it smells strongly of human. https://youtu.be/eJznUs654N8?t=290>>Camels store water in their humpsCamels store fat in their humps and byproducts of metabolizing fat are water and carbon dioxide. So yes, Camels so obtain significant amounts of water from the fat reserves in their humps.>Sharks can detect a drop of blood from miles awayYep, that has been thoroughly debunked by many people.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugRc5jx80yg>>5039809>In = inside of>On = on top of>You're a midwit ESLYou ARE the midwit ESL."There is no fear in having the cattle lying in dirt"https://www.google.com.au/books/edition/American_Farmer/nZZTAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22lying+in+dirt%22&pg=PA333&printsec=frontcover"American Farmer: Containing Original Essays and Selections, 1874"Tell me. Do you think this means the cattle are literally buried inside the dirt?No, of course it doesn't.You simply don't know anything about English.

>>5039795>chocolate is cyanide for dogsTbf chocolate is bad for dogs and it wasn't common knowledge until recently so people overcorrected by making it seem it makes dogs drop dead with microdoses.
A gila monster won't let go of you until the sun goes down
Lol tard. All cartoons and media depictions of the ostrich myth have them literally stick their head INSIDE a hole in the ground. Ostriches don't fucking do that.
>>5039851Im not /OP/ but go off.
>>5039795>cats are effective at rat control>elephants are scared of mice

>>5039795>dogs are effective home defense
>>5040088>>elephants are scared of miceWait, really?
>>5039805laying in something is different from sticking in somethingIt is correct to lay in bed even if you're technically on the bedSticking your head in the ground literally means putting your head underground, not laying it on the groundThe ostrich myth is that they stick their head in the ground, as in bury their head underneath the groundThe myth probably originated from ostriches foraging near shrubs, with their little heads it could give the appearance their head "disappeared" underground when observed from far away
>cats can climb trees but not down I saw my neighbors tabby cat scramble up a tree and chase a squirrel around from branch to branch at least 25-30 feet up like it was nothing and then come back down again with zero issues whatsoever.
