Amazing Facts About Wild Animals

1. Every year, the average person steps on almost 10,000 insects.

2. The giraffe has the highest blood pressure of the rest of the animal's kingdom.

3. Male lions are skilled hunters and enjoy eating meats like zebra and buffalo - they grow manes to attract females.

4. Female lions will eat their prey, starting at the genitals and working their way up the stomach is eaten last, so it doesn't give away their location when they're hunting for more food.

5. Dogs can smell fear which is why they usually bark at people who are scared or intimidated by them- it gives them an advantage over these individuals in a fight or hunt.

6. Rats have hair that grows all over their bodies, including inside of their ears, nose, and lips- this means you'll never see a rat with bald spots!

7. Some animals don't need to drink water because they get all the hydration they need from plants or animals they eat- hyenas are one example of this!

8. The giant panda has a diet primarily made up of bamboo, which contains little protein- this makes pandas carnivores when compared to other bears, which are omnivores with a balanced diet source.

Bald Eagle

The bald eagle is the national bird of the United States. They were once on the brink of extinction due to hunting and habitat destruction. In August of 2007, President Bush designated the bald eagle as America's national animal.

The bald eagle is an endangered species in the United States. That's because people hunted them for their feathers. But thankfully, conservation programs were put in place to make sure they never went extinct.

It also has a wingspan of up to seven feet, which allows it to soar through the sky for hours at a time. The bald eagle is one of America's most graceful birds- and one of its most powerful predators.

Black Bear

A black bear can be twice as heavy as a grizzly bear, but they have about the same height at the shoulder. Black bears have five toes, four of which are claws.

• The black bear is one of three types of bears in North America. The other two are the grizzly and the polar bear.

• All three species of bears live in different habitats throughout North America, but they share a common ancestor - the brown bear. Brown bears have been roaming around Eurasia for about 1.5 million years.

• For several centuries, these bears were hunted by Native Americans and colonists to near-extinction across most of their range, so they're now very rare outside national parks and other remote wilderness areas.

• In some states, it's illegal to kill a black bear because its population has been deemed healthy enough to sustain hunting for sport or food acquisition purposes.

Brown Bear 

Brown bears are the largest land animals in North America. They can weigh up to 1,500 pounds (about 680 kilograms) and grow up to eight feet (about 2.4 meters) tall when standing on their hind legs.

As far as brown bears go, they're not really picky about what they eat. Brown bears will eat anything from berries to roots to fish or even other bears!

It's important to remember that brown bears are very unpredictable animals- they've been known to attack for seemingly no reason at all! If you do come across one in the wild, it's best that you keep your distance, or else you might be dealing with a bear that's ready for a fight!

Some wild animals live in communities, some live in solitude, and some live in the wild. There are three types of wild animals: warm-blooded animals, cold-blooded animals, and invertebrates. The warm-blooded animals are mammals, the cold-blooded animals are fish, and the invertebrates are insects.

Each type of wild animal has its own set of teeth, teeth that are designed to help them eat their prey. The warm-blooded animals have long canine teeth to rip flesh or gnaw on the bone. The cold-blooded animals have sharp teeth for cutting through scales or shells. 

If you're interested in ways to help protect wild animals, you should consider volunteering with an organization that focuses on that.
