dolphins use echolocation to see the world around them.
A dolphin's "clicks" travel long distances and bounce off of objects, allowing them to calculate the distance, shape, density, movement, and texture of an object.

Elephants possesses a phenomenal sense of smell. Their upper nasal cavities have chemical and olfactory sensors in the form of millions of receptor cells. An elephant’s trunk is more capable than a bloodhound's nose and is said to be able to smell water from several miles away.

Almost 90% of wild plants and 75% of leading global crops depend on animal pollination. One out of every three mouthfuls of our food depends on pollinators such as bees. You can help bees to repopulate by making wild spaces bee-friendly. Bees love wildflowers, such as marigolds.

The Emperor Penguin is a penguin that lives in Antarctica. It is the tallest and heaviest of all penguin species. Emperors live in the coldest climate on earth. They can stay warm because they have a thick layer of blubber that keeps the body heat in and cold air and water out.

Orcas are very social creatures and live in family groups called pods, which have up to 50 members. These pods are made up of related mothers and their descendants, known as matrilines.

Came across this "pink" grasshopper while hiking! It's the result of a rare genetic mutation -- supposedly there's a 1% chance of seeing them in a lifetime. There were thousands of (normal) grasshoppers hopping around, so I guess that helped our chances.

Elephants support the lives of other animals and keep their environment functioning, playing a critical role in maintaining habitat. Without elephants, ecosystems would crumble. They are engineers of biodiversity. If you love elephants (they are one of my favourite animals), repost this.

Seahorses are one of the few species where the male, rather than the female, carries the unborn young. The male has a pouch on his belly where the female lays her eggs. The male fertilizes the eggs internally and carries them. The male cares for their young after the eggs hatch.

Since dogs have a harder time adjusting to heat than humans, being left in a warm car can quickly become life threatening. Dogs left alone in a car can quickly become dehydrated, develop heatstroke, or even die. Never leave them in a car for long and never leave them in a warm car. Keep them cool.

Dogs’ normal body temperature is slightly higher than that of humans (it hovers at around 101.5 degrees F), which means that hotter temperatures can affect them more. This is why you need to take care while walking your dog on a hot day.
