ANIMALIA WITH KRISH!!

  Earthworm, what a stinky creature! (and a slimy one too😂) Earthworms are hermaphrodites. Earthworms spend most of their lives underground, creating complex burrow networks.   Earthworms have tiny retractile bristles along the body which help give it grip and a slippery mucus covering, allowing the worm to move through even the hardest earth. Earthworms will anchor their tail in its burrow and at any sudden noise it will slither back into the earth. The earthworm is such a familiar creature that it is rarely given a second thought, yet its contribution to soil fertility is enormous.  Many animals get their food from the soil, but the earthworm eats the soil itself.  THAT'S IT FOR TODAY!!

  Hyena, what a gross creature! (except, when they are in packs😂)   Of our planet has four different species of  hyena : the spotted, brown and striped hyena and the aardwolf.  Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Hyaenidae Genera & species: Crocuta crocuta (spotted hyena) Hyaena brunnea (brown hyena) Hyaena hyaena (striped hyena) Proteles cristata (aardwolf)  Hyenas live in clans of up to 100 hyenas, with a female hyena acting as the matriarch. Unlike other species that live in groups, hyenas fight each other often. One of the most dangerous sounds you might hear in the bush is laughter – the hyena’s call sounds like a laugh and it signals excitement that it has found food. The pitch of their laugh can indicate their status in the pack. Hyenas are carnivores except the Aardwolves, which are insectivores. Hyenas have long been known as scavengers, but they are actually skilled hunters and clans will organize to take do...

  Shark, what a sharp animal! (you might have recognized this in the movie "DEEP BLUE SEA"😂)  Great sharks can be found throughout the world’s oceans, mostly in cool waters close to the coast. These super swimmers are the largest predatory fish (fish that eat other fish or animals) on our planet. On average, they grow to around 4.6m long, but some great sharks have been measured at 6m – that’s half the length of a bus! Any creature unlucky enough to find itself in the gob of a is in for a nasty shock! Because this marine beast’s mouth is equipped with a set of 300 sharp-triangular teeth arranged in up to seven rows. Yikes!   These cunning creatures like to take their prey by surprise. They usually position themselves underneath their unsuspecting victims before swimming up and…chomp! They often burst out of the water in a leap (called a breach ) before falling back in with their meal in their mouths. Great sharks are at the top of the food chain ...

  Crab, what a little and bewildered creature! (except it's scissor powers😂) Everybody knows that crabs are BFFs with mermaids and have Jamaican accents, but there might be even MORE to them than that. Despite their exposure through animation, little is actually known about these mysterious crustaceans. But we do know a few things, like how crabs learn from their mistakes and they’re notorious neat freaks. Crabs can be all different colors―from bright red to bright blue. They can also be all different sizes―from 1 centimeter to 13 feet. Crabs can be right-handed, left-handed, or ambidextrous. Two neighboring crabs will never fight each other. Crabs, who are naturally territorial, are crowded together in holding containers while they await their fate. THAT'S IT FOR TODAY!!

  The only guy, who handles the house people, is a mouse! (like a boss type personality😂) If you have a mouse infestation, rest assured you are not alone . Despite their tiny bodies (and even smaller stomachs!), mice eat between 15 and 20 times a day. Because of their frequent eating habits, they prefer to build their homes near food sources. They are little gymnasts. Mice can squeeze through openings as small as the size of a dime. They have relatively short lifespans . In the wild, mice usually only live for about five months, mostly because of predators such as cats, snakes and foxes. In a lab setting, mice can live for up to two years. Sure, you know that mice can spread diseases like Hantavirus and Salmonella, but that’s just the beginning. In fact, mice can actually carry as many as 200 human pathogens! One mouse can turn into many mice…quickly! THAT'S IT FOR TODAY!! KEEP READING!! ****************************************************************************

  Incy wincy spider c limbed up the water spout! (and of course, the rest you know😂) All spiders produce silk. One species is mostly vegetarian. Spiders are nearsighted. Most spiders have eight eyes, but some, like the brown recluse spider, only have six.  Females can lay up to 3,000 eggs at one time. Jumping spiders can jump up to 50x their own length. The 'daddy long-legs' you see might not actually be a spider.  The nickname 'daddy long-legs' has been given to several different pests, only one of which is an actual spider.    Crane flies, harvest-men  and  cellar spiders   are all colloquially identified as 'daddy long-legs.'  THAT'S IT FOR TODAY!!
