1. Woodpecker
The best-known feature of this bird is the one that gives it its name, the woodpecker is known to be able to pierce wood with the power of its beak. In addition, she can also capture insects and eggs of other birds that are hidden in trees at an absurd speed of up to 24 kilometers per hour!
However, it is very strange to believe that this ability does not cause any serious problems to the animal's brain and skull. For this reason, the structure of this bird is designed to withstand major impacts. The impact of its peck is absorbed by its structure, composed of a dense skull and a small brain.
2. dogs
In just four seconds, a dog that is completely soaked can shake off 70% of the water in its fur. When he's flailing around, his skin runs three times the area of his own spine, putting nine times as much force on the hurling drops of water.
3. rooster
The rooster is known for its high-pitched song, which can reach 100 decibels, the same volume that a chainsaw makes, for example. It seems difficult to understand how roosters can crow all day and not affect their own hearing.
However, scientists have discovered that roosters and hens have soft tissue in their skull that covers half of their eardrum. So when a rooster tilts its head to crow, the tissue fills the entire ear space, acting as a natural plug. In addition, these birds are able to regenerate the cells of their cochlea.
4. Giraffes
Giraffes produce a powerful body odor that enhances their social life. The smelly compounds fight fungus and bacteria and even repel ticks. In this way, the more a male exhales the characteristic bad smell, the safer and more attractive he becomes to the females of the species.
