I believe the Hippopotamus secretes a pigment (like sweat, but not the same) of red-ish/pink-ish color as natural sunscreen and defense against bacteria.

Sometimes called blood sweat.

Elephants mourn the dead and can even recognize them from bones. They also sometimes do the same with human remains.

The true king of the jungle...how could anyone ever want to kill one of these sentient creatures for goddamn piano keys or magic dick pills.

Some bird species are known to do this too, corvids especially. I've witnessed magpie funerals, they will mourn for hours.

Rats, Raccoons, and other cute critters you are likely to find abandoned in your garage as babies require their parents assistance to piss and shit when they are young. Meaning that if you every tried to take care of a baby mouse and it died, yeah, should've rubbed it's belly with a warm washcloth. Dummy. Although it probably died of colic or something or got too cold. Shit is not easy.

Dogs don't actually have a cause and effect memory of 6 seconds. That study was done by counting how much time it took a dog being allowed to eat food before making it stop, where it would start eating again. The answer is that if you let a dog eat for like 6 seconds it's worth the little electric shock. Dummy.

Raccoons are easily the most revolting motherfuckers on the planet. Your trash panda consumes almost exclusively rotting food. They are covered in ticks and shit and I've never skinned one (farm boy not psychopath) that didn't make me feel revolted. I've watched them murder a hundred baby ducks overnight and just leave the corpses so they rot. Because I guess they just like the taste of rotting food. Plus, they all need a bone, called a pizzle bone to get it up, which is the same way trannies do it. Meaning your trash panda is now a tranny.

Speaking of farm boy knowledge, deer pelts are low fat enough that they dry out and make good homemade armguards. Raccoon pelts will rot almost immediately. Fuck raccoons. Tranny dogs. Reddit dogs. 30'06 catchers.

Deer are fucking retarded and their first response to trouble when young is to play even more retarded trying to appear as cute as possible. It's disgustingly effective at making idiots think they are rescuing them as the mother watches the car drive off laughing malevolently

City Dogs don't know what the fuck deer are and the first time a dog "catches" one they will most likely smell it and flip the fuck out.

My favorite fact however, is a Salmon fact. Normally Salmon in a river are hungry, horny, and thirsty, but if you put them in a pond with a low-ish oxygen content they will spend a week being normal but then turn into the laziest fucking fish imaginable. Salmon already suck at breathing which means that they will rapidly choke themselves and by the time you pull them out they are basically already dying. You can salmon CPR them but if you aren't fast enough you end up resurrecting a retarded brain damaged fish that somehow doesn't manage to die. A few years back a summer camp raided my fishing hole and I swear to god there were 8 of them swimming around in circles. You'd watch them go for the hook and they'd crash into logs and shit and I swear the other fish were watching.

 

[The Feline Solution]

Women have a smaller brain than men and an average IQ of 63.

Armadillos were almost hunted to extinction to make musical instruments out of them.

You can also catch leprosy from eating them, in fact the only reported cases of leprosy nowadays are from people eating them. Don't trust that mexican barbecue.

Birds don't have "scales" on their feet. They're modified feathers.
