Koalas communicate with each other by making a range of noises. One sound is like a loud snore and then a belch, known as a ‘bellowE.

Maybe try it sometime as a "secret language" between classmates.

A baby duck is called a duckling, and an adult male is a drake. An adult female duck is called a hen or a duck, and a group of ducks can be called a raft, team or paddling.

What are you called?

The most accurate way to determine the age of a bear is to count the rings in a cross section of its tooth root under a microscope.

Ladybugs bleed from their knees when threatened. Startle a ladybug, and a foul-smelling fluid will seep from its leg joints and leave yellow stains on your skin. 

Finally, I found something in common with a ladybug.
