It is the only mammal capable of flight

Its tongue is at least as long as its body, but it can grab prey in a fraction of a second.

Its legs are so powerful that their kicks can kill a lion.

The pattern of wrinkles on this animal nose is unique to each one and is known as a ‘nose print’.

This animal can stay underwater for up to 27 minutes and dive as far as 500m deep.

While they grow, its antlers have a velvety covering. The ‘velvet’ is shed and rubbed away when the antlers are fully grown.

Its eyes are at least four times sharper than a human’s.

They sometimes hold hands while floating on their backs. Hand-holding keeps them from drifting away from each other while they sleep.

The male of this species of animal becomes pregnant and gives birth to its young. It is the only animal in the world in which the male gestate the baby instead of the female.

They poo up to 15 times a day.
