The Good, The Bad, and The Furry
11 years ago
Hey everyone. I have been utterly incommunicado for quite awhile, and I apologize for that. Life has gotten stressful again, and it's killed my drive to do much. I'm still working on editing Spirit Bound, and I've been planning more on my rewrite of In Heat, but the actual writing hasn't taken off yet. What I have planned is long and complex, however, so there are a lot of details that need hammered out.
However! I would like some assistance from anyone who happens to know some interesting facts about animals and what they can do. I'm building a list of animals that can do fun and interesting things, so if you know of any, let me know!
A few examples:
Common rat: Super-hard teeth capable of chewing through concrete; the ability to squeeze through spaces much smaller than the body's frame; can smell ionized radiation; sensitive hearing (including ultrasound); and good sense of smell
Inland taipan: Deadliest snake venom in the world; extreme speed and agility; detaching jaws
Mantis shrimp: Claw-club capable of breaking through bulletproof nacre; amazingly sensitive eyes (12 primary colors, instead of 3)
Etc.
Any additional suggestions are appreciated.

Detaching jaws aren't really that impressive on a snake, since every snake in the world does that.

OP
But it's still something that inner taipans can do, even if it's not especially special (for a snake, at least). It's something other animals can't do.
