Interesting Animal Facts
All dogs are members of the Canis familiaris species.
The earliest records of a distinct breed of dogs are the Southern sight hounds. These include the Saluki (hunting dog) of Sumeria and the Greyhound of Egypt.
If reptiles aren't fed properly, they will become obese (fat) and this could prove fatal for them.
The simple act of petting your dog or watching a fish swim in an aquarium can actually reduce a human heartbeat and blood pressure.
The Chihuahua was a highly regarded animal of the Aztec Empire.
80% of all veterinarians have private practices that deal primarily with small animals.
Private veterinarians are responsible for the health for over 52 million dogs, 55 million cats, and 11.7 million birds just to name a few.
Sheep have individual "bleating" sounds that allow baby lambs to identify their mother.
Sheep do not have any top front teeth. The roof of their mouth is so hard it allows them to bite and eat grass without the use of teeth.
A ruminant animal is one that has 3 extra parts to its stomach. These extra parts allow the animal to digest a wide variety of plants and grass. (*The sheep is an example of a ruminant animal.*)
Many communities have established critical care units for animals (similar to emergency rooms for humans) so that animals with sudden injuries can be immediately taken care of. (In case of an emergency, check the yellow pages of your phone book for the facility nearest you.)
The AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) has teamed up with CompuServe (one of the world's premier computer information services) to develop NOAH, the Network of Animal Health, which brings state-of-the-art electronic information and communication services to all those interested and active in the veterinary profession.
