Fact: Otters hold hands while sleeping so they do not drift apart. Otters store their tools, i.e., rocks in other words, in pouches in their armpits so if they find an oyster, they can whip out their rock from their tool belt (armpit, in other words) and crack it open. Gentoo penguins propose to their mates by giving them a round rock. Sloths come down from their trees once a week to poop, at which time they are most vulnerable to predators (given their speed, you surprised?) Who would have known there was anything admirable about jellyfish? Turns out these creatures have outlived man. Not only that, some of these are immortal and a specific type has contributed to a Nobel Prize. Go on. Eat your heart out.
Our goal is to give every interesting plant or animal on earth a story worthy of it, even if it's a slime mold, fungus, or an angler fish. We want to illustrate the creature’s quirks & eccentricities with a tale even if it does nothing but stick to the side of a rock for five hundred years (those are lichens - you've got to give them points for perseverance). How else do you celebrate the weird and the wonderful?
