DId You Know?

1) that banded sea snakes are viviparous, in that they bear live young offspring at sea & not lay eggs? Except the banded sea crait which is able to come ashore to lay eggs.

2) that baby koala bears eat their mother's poo for nutrition purposes?

CLick here for more info!

3) that koalas need at least 20hrs of sleep a day because of the tiredness from chewing a large amount of hard eucalyptus leaves?

Found out about all these when watching Animal Planet / National Geographic haha..

4) female birds can lay eggs even without a male partner?

Found out from my bird! And I suspect she's suffering from egg binding now - an egg is "stuck" in her body..
