The French Bulldog is a small breed of domestic dog, related to the English Bulldog and American Bulldog
The origin of the modern French Bulldog breed descends directly from the dogs of the Molossians, an ancient Greek tribe.
Americans had been importing French Bulldogs for a while, but it was not until 1885 when they were brought over in order to set up an American based breeding program. They were mostly owned by society ladies, who first displayed them at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in 1896.

Cats have a rapid breeding rate.
Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small game. They can see in near darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poorer color vision and a better sense of smell than humans.
I thought it was interesting that the largest living species is the Emperor Penguin (~75lb) and the smallest penguin species is the Little Blue Penguin, also known as the Fairy Penguin (~2.2lb).
larger penguins inhabit colder regions, while smaller penguins are generally found in temperate or even tropical climates
They spend about half of their lives on land and half in the oceans
they are not found only in cold climates
Several species are found in the temperate zone, and one species, the Galápagos Penguin, lives near the equator.
Some prehistoric species attained enormous sizes, becoming as tall or as heavy as an adult human.
The Golden Retrievers' intelligence makes them versatile, allowing them to fill a variety of roles, including guide dog for the blind, hearing dog for the deaf, hunting dog, illegal-drug detector, and search and rescue participant. Because of their loyal and gentle temperament, Golden Retrievers are also popular family pe
Golden Retrievers possess friendly, eager-to-please demeanours,
Cattle were originally identified as three separate species: Bos taurus, the European or "taurine" cattle (including similar types from Africa and Asia); Bos indicus, the zebu; and the extinct Bos primigenius, the aurochs.
A common misconception about cattle (particularly bulls) is that they are enraged by the color red (something provocative is often said to be "like a red flag to a bull"). This is incorrect, as cattle are red-green color-blind.
The average sleep time of a domestic cow is about four hours a day.[
Orangutans are among the most intelligent primates; they use a variety of sophisticated tools and construct elaborate sleeping nests each night from branches and foliage
A feline litter usually consists of two to five kittens. The kits are born after a gestation that lasts between 64 and 67 days, with an average length of 66 days.[2] Kittens emerge in a sac called the amnion which is bitten off and eaten by the mother cat.[3]
Domestic kittens in developed societies are usually vaccinated against common illnesses from two to three months of age.
Hand-reared kittens tend to be very affectionate with humans as adults and sometimes more dependent on them than kittens reared by their mothers, but they can also show volatile mood swings and aggression

The two species of lizard within the genus Iguana possess a dewlap, a row of spines running down their backs to their tails, and a third "eye" on their heads
Never realized that iguanas had a photoreceptive third eye on their heads
Iguana is a genus of herbivorous lizards native to tropical areas of Mexico, Central America, several islands in Polynesia such as Fiji and Tonga, and the Caribbean
The word "iguana" is derived from a Spanish form of the original Taino name for the species, iwana.
A koala is not a bear, English speaking settlers from the 18th century called them Koala Bears because of the similiarity in appearance to bears. They actually come from the wombat family.
Giraffes have beautiful spotted coats. While no two individuals have exactly the same pattern, giraffes from the same area appear similar.

Giraffes eat most of the time and, like cows, regurgitate food and chew it as cud. A giraffe eats hundreds of pounds of leaves each week and must travel miles to find enough food.
Female giraffes give birth standing up. Their young endure a rather rude welcome into the world by falling more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) to the ground at birth

They have sharp incisors to clip leaves at the front of the mouth, separated from the grinding cheek teeth by a wide diastema.
while the brain's two cerebral hemispheres are like "a pair of shrivelled walnut halves on top of the brain stem, in contact neither with each other nor the bones of the skull. It is the only animal on Earth with such a strangely reduced brain
Koalas spend about three of their five active hours eating
Some Organizations, such as Helping Hands:Monkey Helpers for the Disabled, train capuchin monkeys as helpers for quadriplegics and other severe spinal cord injuries.
. There are about 260 known living species of monkey
Unlike apes, monkeys usually have tails. Tailless monkeys may be called "apes",
In some areas, some species of monkey are considered agricultural pests, and can cause extensive damage to commercial and subsistence crops.[6] This can have important implications for the conservation of endangered species, which may be subject to persecution.
I found it interesting that males establish social hierarchies by necking, where they use their necks to fight.
