Some animals can do some interesting things. Giraffes can clean their ears and eyes with their tongues. Snails can hibernate for 3 years.
But somethings are just simply not true.
There is the myth that ostriches bury there heads in the ground.
That is not true. They lay there eggs in the ground. They check up on the eggs and turn them over with their head. So it might look like the head is in there but its just an illusion.
Opossums can hang on trees by their tails.
People started believing this because opossums could move by swings their tails from place toplace.
Actually, only a baby opossum can hang on for a couple seconds. Adults would just be to heavy. But what would this skill help the opossums do anyway ?
Touching a frog or toad could get you warts.
The skin of a frog or toad looks like warts so that's a reason to believe that they could bring warts.
Warts is caused by human virus. But you still might not want to touch a frog or toad. They could bring other viruses.
