Did you know - 

• Forty times stronger – yes, a Giant Anteater’s sense of smell is 40 times stronger than yours! And they are able to smell the different types of ants.
• While they may look like a fluffy dust mop, surprisingly, Binturongs smell like buttered popcorn!
• Peacock Mantis Shrimp have a punch which is 50 times faster than the blink of your eye and creates “cavitation bubbles” which generate light and heat for a split second almost as hot as the sun – 4,400 degrees Celsius! When the bubbles pop, they make a shockwave which kills their prey – if they missed with their punch.

• A group of Zebras is called a herd, a dazzle, or a zeal.

• Star-Nosed Moles are the 

  first known mammal to be able to smell underwater!
• If the environment is not right for a baby to be born, Black-Flanked Rock-Wallaby moms are able to stop their baby from growing for days, weeks, months – even up to two years, until it is safe for them to grow once again.
• Stonefish are able to live outside of water for 24 hours – as long as it is in a moist place, as they absorb oxygen through their skin.
• Rufous Potoos typically only sing when the moon is full. Their call sounds like they are saying “poor-me-ones” – if you ever hear it, you will not forget it.

In Giant Anteaters, Peacock Mantis Shrimp, Rufous Potoos & More! the children you love will be able to learn so many fun, surprising, and interesting things about animals, participate in activities they will never forget, and you will have the opportunity to engage them in important conversations about how these incredible animals help them know God is real!
