A snail can sleep for 3 years. cats pee glows under a black light. camels have three eyelids to protect their eyes from blowing sand. The longest flight record for a chicken is 13 seconds. elephants are the only animal that can't jump. Porcupines float in water. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. Slugs have four noses. Robins eat 3 miles a earthworms a year. Worms have ten hearts. Goldfish have a memory span of three seconds. Snakes can see through their eyelids. Kangaroos cannot walk backwards. A cat has 32 muscles in each ear. A woodpecker can peck a piece of wood 20 times per second. Tigers have striped skin, not striped fur.
