15 Extraordinary Animal Facts that are Hard to Believe

#4. Starbuck now has a new meaning. LOL!

Although “Starbucks” is very well-known for the subliminal addictive effect of its coffee beans, today, the word Starbuck can actually be associated with another kind and we’re not referring to another drink.

Meet Starbuck, the dashing 2,580-pound Canadian bull whose genome was so priceless that his own sperm went up to as much as $25 million mainly because of its reproductive capability! We’re not just talking about having a clan of 2 or 3 children but a 200,000 count! Yes! Just imagine how many spouses does he have?! Haha!

True enough, the Casanova of his kind has been a certified legend since the day he was born – 26 April 1979 – from up until the hike of his career from 1986 to 1995, winning the title of “Premier Sire” for 27 times from five major Holstein shows held in both Canada and USA. (Source)

Although the sizes of spiders may deceive you, nothing else will beat the natural spinning ability of Darwin’s bark spider. Aside from the fact that it can spin the largest webs in the world, its own-produced silk is also considered the toughest and strongest than any known biological substance.

According to University of Puerto Rico zoologist Igni Agnarsson, the strands of Darwin’s bark spider, scientifically known as Caerostris darwini, is 10 times better than Kevlar and can cover a massive 30-square-foot area hanging in mid-air from 80-foot-long anchor lines. This is evident in the surprising discovery made in the wilds of Madagascar. (Source)

#6. They will prove to you that size does not and will never matter!

If you would be betting on a fight between a spider and a snake, who would you place bet on? As surprising as it may seem, the strength of a giant can be astonishingly equal to that of a spider.

How is this possible? Meet Australia’s Giant Gold Orb Spiders, whose favorite meal is a half-meter snake. As much as snakes are usually the predators in the jungle, these exceptional spiders are most definitely reinforcing the statement that size does not matter when it comes to testing who the real PREYS are.
