Okay, my fact was from observation, not reading. Here's some from reading: Cats are either righties or lefties, like humans. (Some may be ambidextrous too, like humans) A dogs sense of smell is 100,000 times sharper than a humans. Ever watch one of those shows where a bloodhound follows a scent down a highway tracking a person who was in a car? Amazing.

A lot of stories about the Roman Empire may have been bullsh*t:

Vidiot, that link is actually veeeery interesting.
So all the talk of Christians being fed to lions is probably bunk and legend....

Polydactyls, I think (they're cool, BTW).

Two African Swallows can carry a coconut when it's suspended on a line under their dorsal guidance feathers.
And coconuts can migrate.

"You put a line on the coconut and Swallow it up."
Sorry; couldn't resist.

Listened to an radio interview with Peter Gabriel briefly about some recordings he did with monkeys accompanying him on the piano. Now before we get the snark and ridicule hear me out.
The conclusions that they were reaching was that there was a much stronger degree of sentience that was previously thought. To further expand, maybe they are much more like us, but limited by there comunication skills.
It certainly raised more questions than it answered, and the musical recordings were amazing.
Oh, and another aspect of the interview dealing with this, if I remember it correctly dealt with the need or idea of having an Interspecies Internet.
Found it, here is a link.

Vidiot: One of my clients has a polydactyl kitty. I think it is the cutest little thing, like it is wearing mittens!
