5 Weird Things about Animals:

Buffalo herds vote:
Each one cast vote for where to travel by standing up, looking at the direction and lying back down. The highest voters win. However, only females can vote!

Owls Divorce:
These animals are majorly monogamous in nature in which a male remains with only a female for mating throughout life. Nevertheless, when a "couple's" breeding has been unsecessful for too long, they part way and look for another life mate.

Penguins propose to their female!
The male uses peddle for the proposal. Pebbles are very scarce along the barren antarctic shoreline and that is what penguin use to make their nest. If the female accept the pebbles, the two bond and mate for life.

Dolphin calls each other by name:
Each dolphin has a unique whistle sound as name and will respond once they hear another dolphin calling with the sound.

Sense of smell is about 100,000 times better than humans'
That is why a dog can better detect hard drugs in the airport than woman.

25 Foods Poisonous To Dogs.

As man’s best friend, dogs do everything with us: walk around town, ride in the car, play in the yard, etc. It’s natural, then, given how much time we spend with them, to assume they can eat with us, too. However, some human food can be dangerous to dogs, even those food that are completely safe for us.

I will list just 25 out of those foods that are poisonous to all dogs:

1
GARLIC:
Garlic is an allium, a family of foods that can be fatal to dogs due to a compound called thiosulfate that damages red blood cells. It takes a lot of garlic to cause toxicity but some breeds, particularly Japanese breed are particularly susceptible.

Signs of garlic poisoning can be delayed and not apparent for several days.
While tiny amounts of these foods in some pets, especially dogs, may be safe, large amounts can be very toxic.

2
CHOCOLATE:
Chocolate is one of the most commonly recognized toxins for dogs. The culprit is theobromine, an alkaloid that can cause cardiac arrhythmias and central nervous system dysfunction in dogs.

Dark chocolate, semisweet chocolate, and unsweetened baker’s chocolates are the most dangerous, while milk and white chocolates have smaller amounts (though they can be toxic, too). Toxicity depends on many factors including the amount consumed and the size of the dog

3
MILK
All mammals are designed to drink milk from their mothers as infants, gradually weaning off as they grow and transition to water and solid foods. After infancy, it’s not uncommon for mammals to experience some level of lactose intolerance when consuming milk products in general and certainly those from other species.

So while milk is not technically poisonous for dogs; it’s worth keeping it on their “do not feed” list. Some dogs are OK with it, others experience extreme discomfort in addition to potential health problems, especially among certain breeds.

4
IRON SUPPLEMENT
Vitamins containing iron can be toxic for dogs, particularly prenatal supplements, which tend to have higher amounts than standard vitamins. That’s because dogs don’t have a way of excreting excess iron, causing buildups up in the body.

In addition to vitamins, cases of iron toxicity can also come from dogs eating oxygen absorbers (those small silica packets found in things like beef jerky).

5
APPLE:
Although the flesh of apples is not toxic, the seeds can be poisonous due to the presence of a compound called amygdalin. They have to be consumed in large quantities and they must be chewed to be toxic, so a few seeds are unlikely to kill your dog.

However, if you plan to feed your dog apples, veterinarians recommend seeding and coring them first.

The Most Intelligent Dog on Earth.

Border Collies are widely regarded as the most intelligent dog in the world. In most cases, these beautiful little workers are most suited to life in the country and best known as “herders” or farm dogs.

But why are they thought about so highly?

You see, Border Collies are very active and make excellent watchdogs, but at the same time they respond extremely well to positivity and can learn incredibly fast.

What’s more, they are very much a family dog and quite protective when it comes to young children in particular. Interestingly, this protective manner is down to their territorial instincts, which is also what prompts them to protect their owners.


Overall, Border Collies are particularly clever and very low maintenance, which only further backs up these claims of being the most intelligent dog in the world.
