FUN ANIMAL FACT FRIDAY!!
Did you know Giraffes are the tallest land animals?
It's true Giraffes hold the title of the tallest land animals on Earth, with adult males reaching heights of up to 18 feet (5.5 meters) and females slightly shorter.
Bet you they have no problems looking over the steering wheel 🤣
Due to being so tall to pump blood all the way up to their brain, giraffes have unusually large hearts, weighing up to 24 pounds (11 kilograms). Their heart can be around 2 feet (60 centimeters) long and has thick walls to withstand the high blood pressure required to circulate blood to their head.
They use their long necks not only to reach high branches but also for powerful swinging movements during fights, a behavior known as "necking." This behavior involves two giraffes standing side by side and swinging their necks at each other, aiming to land blows with their ossicones.
Giraffes' height provides them with several advantages in their natural environment. Not only does it allow them to access a wider range of food sources, but it also enhances their ability to spot predators from a distance, giving them more time to react and escape.
What an amazing creature.

FUN ANIMAL FACTS FRIDAY!!
Did you know your canine companion (s) can dream?
Its true, scientific research demonstrates comparable brain wave patterns in humans and dogs which validates this assumption. The conclusion is that dreams are part of the normal sleep cycle, and dogs do indeed have them!
What do we know about dog dreams?
Scientists have managed to gather information about canine dreams and sleep patterns through clinical observations.
•As a dog falls asleep, their breathing becomes deeper and more regular.
•After 20 minutes of REM sleep, dreams usually begin for the average dog.
•While dreaming, a dog’s breathing may become shallow and irregular, and muscles may twitch.
•A dog's eyes move behind the closed lids and dart about as if the dog is looking at something. It is believed that during this REM sleep, dogs are visualizing dream much like Hoomans do in this phase of sleep.
Next time your canine friend is running in place or wimpering, they are most likely dreaming of running in fields playing with their best friends or about that big turkey feast (they know they can’t have).

He always comes with his bigger sister Luna and they are eachothers emotional support, so the whole team wanted him to still feel like his big sister was with him so we all gave and shared in the extra Jimmy love throughout the day. He is one of the bestest boys. 🥰🥰🥰

FUN ANIMAL FACT FRIDAYS!!
Did you know Koalas have been around for over 20 million years. There are fossils of koalas found in Australia dating back 20 million years. Wow, now that's a looooong time.
Koala's also have unique fingerprints just like humans. It would be difficult to differintiate between the two at crime scenes 👮🕵️.
They also can run as fast as a rabbit. They are extremely fast runners, one reason for this is because they do not have a tail. Running away from those crimes of breaking hearts with their cuteness 😂😁
FUN ANIMAL FACT FRIDAY!
Did you know that horses have relatively large hearts compared to their body size. Their hearts can weigh around 1% of their body weight, and they have a powerful cardiovascular system that enables them to perform strenuous activities.
Now that's having a heavy heart 😁
Another interesting fact is they can read and remember your emotions. Horses can read our facial expressions and tell when we’re happy or angry. They can also remember our emotional state and adjust their behaviour according to our mood.
So remember to always be kind to any horse you encounter, cause they will remember.
