Arctic Foxes hold an interesting record. They have the largest litters of any wild mammal in the world. While the average is 11 puppies, litters with 22 puppies have been recorded in Russia. Talk about sibling rivalry! Thankfully, they have a father to keep them from fighting. The male Arctic fox is considered one of the most attentive parents of all the canids, a family of mammals that includes wolves, coyotes, and jackals.

Woodchucks, aka groundhogs, live in style underground. Their burrows usually have a main entrance, one or more “spyholes” to keep an eye on enemies, and separate toilet and nesting chambers. Their summer burrows are dug in pastures and meadows but come winter they move to a denning burrow. These winter burrows are dug close to a woody or brush filled area and are an ideal spot for woodchucks to hibernate their way through the winter.

Wouldn’t Want to Run into this Giant Spider!

Researchers recently discovered a new, giant golden orb weaver spider from Africa and Madagascar. But turns out only the females are giants. They have a body length of 1.5 inches (3.8 centimetres) and a leg span of 4-5 inches (10-12 centimetres). Yikes!

Coral reefs are the world’s most diverse marine ecosystems and are home to 25% of known marine species, including 4,000 species of fish, 700 species of coral and thousands of other plants and animals. They are made of thin layers of limestone produced by organisms known as coral polyps and take thousands of years to form. Neat huh?

These Gorillas are big! In fact, they are the largest living apes! Males can measure up to 1.7m in height and way 160kg – that’s over 350 pounds! Just because these primates are big, doesn’t mean they don’t need your help. Within the Congo, the number of Eastern Lowland Gorillas has declined by 90% over the past 5 years, and only 3,000 now remain.

Home, Sweet Home. The giant clam only gets one chance to find a nice home. Once it fastens itself to a spot on a reef, it sits there for the rest of its life!

If I only had a brain! Did you know sea stars have no brains and no blood? Their nervous system is spread through their arms and their “blood” is actually filtered sea water.
