    Fun fact: Sheep are actually very intelligent and can recognize facial expressions (better than me). So, when someone calls you a sheep, they're calling you smart.

    I visited Buffalo jump in Alberta, Canada, the site where 6000 years ago Blackfoot hunters dressed up as coyotes and wolves and herded buffalo off a 11 metre cliff. Injured Buffalo were finished off by other warriors at bottom. Bones are buried 12 meters deep.

    Fun fact: Male cassowaries are basically stay at home dads (females are typically bigger), raising the babies.

    Emus too. Males build the nest and hatch the eggs and raise the young.

    Fun fact: Turtles' sex is determined by the temperature of their nest (cooler/male; warmer/female).

    Snapping turtle females travel from wherever they are to the place they hatched in order to lay their eggs. Turtles have made that same historic journey for millions of years.

    This is why people find snappers crossing busy roads in the spring.

    Are you saying male turtles are cold blooded bastards and female turtles are hotties?

    Not just turtles, many reptiles are the same.

    Fun fact: Koalas have fingerprints similar to humans. They're even good enough to fool some forensics.

    Yep they sure do. It's pretty fascinating!

    Cat's out of the bag. I've been breeding gangs of koala pickpockets.

    I'll have to switch to squirrels.

    Fun fact: Squirrels pretend to bury food in order to fool food thieves. They're much smarter than you think.

    If the squirrels aren't hiding them, what becomes of the peanuts I put out every morning?

    That's a good one! One of my favourites so far!

    Today, when I got out of my car, my neighbor's dog jumped in and follow me when I gave her a treat (I'm thinking of how it got to the point, I have dog treats for them).

    So, the octopus has nine brains? They must be the smartest of all.

    If you're friends with an octopus, do you have to be friendly with all nine brains, or is a 5/4 split enough?

    You never realize how big wolves are until you sit them next to a dog (namely a German Shepherd). Also, that our ancestors still teamed up with them.

    There's a local who brings a wolf to the cafe, great big lovable beast!

    Fun fact: If you feed a raven or crow, they may leave something shiny for you, although they become aggressive if you don't feed them consistently.

    That said, some individual birds have been observed leaving small objects (bones, bits of metal, bottle caps) near people who feed them. This is rare and not intentional gifting in the human sense - it's more likely coincidence, play, or caching behavior.

    Also they don't expect food on a schedule. But if birds associate a location with food, they may vocalize loudly and hang around persistently

    That isn't aggression or revenge - it's learned expectation, like pigeons waiting near a park bench.

    Training any wild animal to come to you for food is a very bad idea, they do get more aggressive if the feeding stops and it also encourages them to forget their natural instincts. More and more areas in Australia are banning the feeding of wild animals and the fines aren't small.

    I have a little bird (outside) that wakes me up on time. It's like having a personal alarm.

    Aussie birds make a lot of noise and there's nothing personal about it. Here's a short clip of the sounds we wake up to in mornings, to us these are the sounds of home.

    Does the dog go into the "good" or "bad" category?

    I have a G S Dog. They are lovely animals, but they can also be frightening or annoying (my brother-in-law is afraid of them, due to childhood incident).

    Unknown so far. I've only seen it from a distance.
