• An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
• Babies are born without kneecaps. They don't appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age.
• Butterflies taste with their feet.

Funda of Fundas

Most small lemurs (not the large ones) are nocturnal. In fact, the word lemur comes from the Latin lemur’s meaning "nocturnal spirits." These nocturnal insects have menacing pincers attached to the end of their abdomens. They received their name from the belief that they creep into people's ears. Perhaps at night, while people are sleeping?
