10 Animals You Don’t Want To Trade Places With

Cloning Not So Cool

Imagine if your finger was cut off and you could just magically grow a new one. That’s pretty cool. But what it your severed finger could keep growing until it developed an entire new body so there were two of you? And then it kept going until there were thousands of you? Not so cool. That’s the rare capability of one of the ribbon worm species. One six-inch worm can create 200,000 new worms from severed parts. Yikes!

What Do You Do With Your Tongue?

Back to hygiene for a moment. When you step out of the shower, you probably grab a q-tip and give your ears a good swab. Seems to work well. But if you were a giraffe, it would be totally unnecessary. Those guys have 21-inch tongues and yes, they use them to clean their ears. Aren’t you glad you don’t have to kiss a giraffe? Holy ear wax!
