8) Elephants Are Awkward
This is actually a twofer: Elephants, with all their goofiness of trunks and big ears have some odd facts associated with their legs. First, they are the only mammal in the world that can’t jump. Second, they are also the only animal in the world that has four knees.
7) Long-Distance Sniffing
If you thought that our ability to smell a skunk from over a mile away seemed implausible, you’ll find this factoid highly improbable (even though it’s true): Male emperor moths can smell a female of their species from a distance of up to seven miles.
To be honest, I didn’t even know moths had noses, so there’s a bonus fact for you.
