Animals

Why is the sky blue? Why do cats have whiskers? Why are leaves green? And how does rain form? We learn the answers to these questions in elementary and middle school. But some things remain unknown, like, for example, why giraffes have such a curious pattern on their coats.

Dogs are believed to be the most loyal animals. However, many cat owners may disagree with this. Dogs and cats differ in character and the way they show their attachment to their owners, but this doesn’t mean that cats aren’t loyal to their humans.

European bison and American bison both belong to the genus Bison and have many characteristics in common, even though they are a different species.

We tend to think of our pets as family members, but what do they really think about us? Do cats try to read our minds? Do they think of humans as equals, or are we just food providers for them? It turns out that scientists from all over the world are interested in the answers to these questions.

A big dog brings a lot of love and a big responsibility. A big animal requires certain housing conditions because no one should have to live in a place that’s too small for their size.

Most insects are so small that it’s quite hard to see if they are asleep or not. How can you even tell if an ant or a grasshopper is sleeping?

Occasionally we come across cats who have different color eyes. This is an inborn feature that is called heterochromia. It can be sectoral or complete.

Amphibians and reptiles are 2 classes of animals that many people confuse. It’s sometimes quite hard to understand which animal is which.

Though antelope and gazelles belong to the same family, there are obvious differences between these animals. The surprising thing is that all gazelles are antelope, while not all antelope are gazelles.

Humans can live up to 150 years, the intermountain bristlecone pine — up to 5,000 years, a giant sequoia lives up to 3,000 years, and some jellyfish can reverse their age and live forever.

When most of us hear “sloth,” we think of a 3-toed sloth — a creature with a funny muzzle that is a symbol of slowness. But aside from 3-toes sloths, there are 2-toes sloths that look somewhat different.

Rats are intelligent and sociable animals that can become great pets with proper care.

If you’ve had even a little experience communicating with a dog, you have likely noticed that these animals are almost like people — it feels as if they understand us well but can’t say it. But, of course, things are not completely like this, as dogs have certain skills and abilities that many people tend to overestimate.

Most parrots can make great pets. But some of them require special care and shouldn’t be kept in an apartment.

Perhaps each pet owner has wondered at least once in their life what goes through their dogs’ heads — like if the animals understand their owners and what they really feel about them. But as it turns out, we can actually find out this information.

Fish are aquatic animals that lack limbs and breathe through gills. They can be found on every continent in the world. Many of them have unique characteristics, such as vibrant colors, big teeth, and good hunting skills. There are over 34,000 species of fish, so 5-Minute Crafts has prepared a guide to help you identify some of them.

As a rule, we use things to limit the movement of our dogs while on walks, and it could be a collar or a harness with a leash. This is all because even the best-trained dogs can behave unexpectedly. But what should we choose to make both the pet and the owner feel most comfortable — a collar or a harness?

We all like different places, seasons, and dishes — even our preferred pets differ. Some people like pugs, while others are crazy about rottweilers. But there are some dog breeds that shouldn’t be kept in an apartment setting, even if you like them a lot.

The ocean covers 70% of our world, and 80% of it remains unexplored. It is home to many mysterious and exotic fish, slugs, shrimp, squid, and many more creatures. Some of them are venomous, and some glow or live in extreme depth.5-Minute Crafts has created a list of 10 exotic sea animals that you likely haven’t heard of.

There were many different types of dinosaurs way back when, and they were around for about 165 million years. There were around 700 valid species. Although dinosaurs are now extinct, it’s no secret that these animals were truly amazing, no matter the type. Read this article to learn more about them.
