Cool facts about cool animals

So, the first set of "Cool" Facts I'm posting is about monkeys, for my little sister.

So, here goes: Did you know that when monkeys yawn it's sometimes because they are tired, and sometimes because they are mad?

The orangutan is the largest fruit-eating animal in the world and it rarely comes out of the trees.

 All monkeys like to be clean so they have a barber monkey clean out their fur. The barber monkey's payment is the bugs in its customer's hair.

Gross huh boo? Lol. Here's the link :http://mrevolutionmaster.tripod.com/id4.html Thank you!

Next, how about CATS!


Groups of kittens are “kindles,” while groups of adult cats are “clowders.”

 Cats weigh an average of 12 pounds. The heaviest cat on record weighed nearly 47 pounds. The lightest was one pound, eight ounces.

Cats will spend about a third of the day grooming. The process is helped along by the backwards-facing spikes on their tongues. Now you know why it feels like being rubbed with sandpaper when they lick you.
