10. Skilled Diving in Weddell Seals
Contrary to popular opinion, Weddell Seals can’t breathe underwater. Like all mammals, they only breathe air. However, how can Weddell Seals dive into the water for more than an hour? Apparently, the creatures have unique muscles that store more oxygen than hemoglobin. They are also good at finding air pockets in ice.
11. Insomnia in Bullfrogs, Sharks and Dolphins
Sleep is essential for all animals. However, some share a different opinion. The likes of bullfrogs, sharks, and dolphins do not sleep for months. Bullfrogs, for instance, are always on high alert, even when resting. Also, some shark species need to keep swimming to breathe, so sleep is out of the equation. Alpine Swifts have adapted to sleeping with only half of their brain at a time. Other animals, such as giraffes, worker ants, and sea urchins, do not sleep.
