Fascinating Animal Facts Friday: Top 12 Of The Week

Hello, beautiful people! We made it to Friday, the last workday of the week. Soon we'll be able to rest and relax. But before we do that, we're here to spice up yet another Friday with some fascinating facts about the animal kingdom. Estimates range of how many animals there are in the world, but the range is in the millions. And our guess is that most people haven't even come close to hearing, seeing, or learning about half. With this weekly segment, it is our mission to shine some light on all sorts of animals: mammals, reptiles, avians, and more.

Not only are these short facts interesting to learn and verified by Reddit, but the images and videos will truly take your breath away. We imagine that doing wildlife photography for a living is no easy occupation, but oh so rewarding. They get to learn so much about these unique creatures and become one with nature. Sounds pretty cool to us!

Sorry, we know we shouldn't be laughing but… why they built like that? That anteater looks like that one meme with the guy who was flexing too hard. We hope you got that reference. It would be quite embarrassing if you didn't.
Also, is it bad to say that at least the red pandas look cute?

Great, just what we needed. Another bat problem. We're not going to lie though, this vampire bat looks extremely adorable. Anyone else think that with the right amount of love, care, and attention this liddo guy can become a great pet? Or, perhaps, we'll leave this one for the wildlife.
