Fun Animal Facts

People are always saying to me, “Joe, why do you keep writing about politics? I don’t care about politics. Can you write about something else?”
I don’t know who these people are; they’re always gone by the time I turn around. In fact, it might just be voices in my head. But anyway, I’ve always loved animals ever since I was a kid. Well, I loved them as a kid and I’m kinda eh about them now, but I know a few little-known fun facts about animals to share with you. Well, they might be fun; I’m not really sure. If they’re not fun, hey I’m sorry. The voices told me to write this post.
