Animals 
Animal Fundas – 18
by Aniket Kumar (11 years) 

• Dogs and cats are not furry people in disguise. They are wolves and North African wildcats in disguise.

• Ninety percent of all animal species that ever lived are now extinct.

• Some insects may live for as long as a year, even when their heads are cut off.

• Some fish like walking catfish, mudskippers and flying fish, can live on land.

• Hippo phobia is not the fear of hippopotami; it is the fear of horses.   

Funda of Fundas

The basilisk lizard can, indeed, run across the surface of a body of still water, thus earning it the nickname Jesus Christ lizard. Basilisk lizards are found in tropical America from Mexico to Ecuador.
