Many sailors have mistaken basking whales for islands and have tried to land on them. The shrimps that flamingoes eat are pink in colour and their bodies take on this colour. That is why flamingoes are pink. Certain butterflies have scented wings to attract a future mate.
Flies take off backwards.
They can reach a size of about 18 metres or so and they eat other squid. Snakes cannot close their eyes. Seagulls sometimes eat so much that they cannot fly off again.
