Humans love gossip & mdash. to disseminate information that may or may not be true. It's like an ingrained part of the Homo sapiens psyche. I mean ... if everyone says the same thing, he should be true, right? Ditto for the folklore that surrounds the animals 'facts' and behavior. Some of these rumors have been around since we were all still in Pull-Ups, but you will be surprised to learn that all these so-called "truths" are actually completely false.
1. When a duck quacks, it does not echo.

Okay, just think about it for a second. A quack produces sound waves that bounce off solid surfaces like any other noise. Ducks just tend to live in open spaces where sound is unlikely to echo. This is just common sense! Quacks do echo
2. All the bees die immediately after they sting you.

There are more than 20,000 different species of bees. Yes, a certain species of bee has a barbed dart that sticks to the thick skin of a human being, and when it comes off it is torn in two and dies. But this is just one of thousands of other species.
3. Everyone swallows a certain amount of spiders each year.
Flickr / Linda Tanner
We can not say that he does not never happens, but there have been no scientific studies that prove that the spiders will crawl through an open mouth while you sleep. If you think about it, it is quite illogical for a spider to walk voluntarily into the mouth of a giant predator that can crush in a moment.
4. vs Turtles Turtles

the people of this distinction mixed all the time. Tortoises have stubby legs with claws to move on the earth, and turtles have webbed feet for swimming in the water. But even so, some areas only two groups together like turtles ... so maybe just call them cute little guy in shells to avoid the drama (or freeway, which is the scientific name encompassing both).
5. sex of the animals is all about procreation.

Male mice actually sing a little song for women before the 'act. Humans can not hear it because it is ultrasonic, but when the frequencies are adjusted, it forms a complete song. In addition, ultrasound Love is a group name rather cool.
6. You can not teach an old dog new tricks.
Flickr / Michelle Tribe
Of course, you can. Just keep in a couple of workouts for a week or two and your old dog will sit and stay with the best of these young whippersnappers. This sentence is actually more directed stubborn people who refuse to change their habits. So do not put this silly misconception about old dogs ... blame your friend who needs to always be right, even when they are wrong.
7. Touch a toad can give you warts.

Do not be stupid. Warts are caused by a human virus. Toads and frogs just have lumpy skin. Two totally different things!
8. Lemmings commit suicide en masse.

They just slightly unconventional migration patterns causing their populations fluctuate over the years ... that's just life, people.
9. Bats are blind ... like a bat?
Flickr / Bernard DUPONT
Of course, bats use sonar to see at night, but they still have functional eyes. So no, the grandmother is not as blind as a bat when it can not read the headlines ... she's blind as a grandmother.
10. Opossums hang upside down from their tails.
Flickr / DJ
Although they hold with their tails for a bit of extra support, opossums adults weigh too much for it is still only possible to hang from their tails.
11. Crocs are super slow on land.
Flickr / Che Mat
False. They can move up to 10 miles per hour, and since they are not even attack their prey until they are close and unsuspecting ... that the speed limit is a lot.
12. camels store water in their humps.
Flickr / Isabell Schulz
More like over giant muffins. These humps store fat, not water - but the underlying function of the myth is similar. This bump fat can feed a camel the same as three weeks of food. But how do they moisturize? Their kidneys and intestines are so effective to maintain as much liquid as possible, wetting of the animal is a syrupy texture, and their poo is dry enough to power the lights. This is both gross and really cool at the same time.
13. Do not help a baby bird or mother abandon!
Flickr / Wendy
False. The thing here is to determine if the bird really needs help or not before doing anything. If he is still a baby bird (small, small, not many feathers), it is suggested that you return it to its nest as soon as possible. If it is a young (larger, essentially a teenager), you should just leave it alone. In both cases, however, the birds will not have a baby because of human scent. They do not use perfume to recognize their young.
14. Koala "bear".
Flickr / albagloria5
Koalas are actually marsupials, not bears at all. Sure, they look like a teddy bear, but we humans are genetically more similar to that koalas are bears. Who knew ?!
15. Bulls see red and want to attack.
Flickr / Arild Andersen
Bulls do not care about the color. They are restless excitement of the ring and attack everything you shake them. The movement and noise are the real factors here, so do not think you're safe in the race of bulls just because you chose a blue shirt.
16. The pigs are dumb.
Flickr / Lis S.
Well, they are smarter than your child .. .so you might want to reconsider this ridiculous myth. Pigs test higher on the joystick puzzles and tests that young children of man, and to learn their own name only a week after his birth. They are also dogs fees in some cases.
17. ALSO Sheep are stupid!
Flickr / spDuchamp
Sheep are quick learners, can adapt to their circumstances, and could even be able to plan ahead.
18. Penguins tilt when they are turning to airplanes over.
Flickr / Christopher Michel
This seems odd, but British pilots reported the phenomenon when they flew near soil in South America. It is not true, though & mdash; Penguins can keep their foot. That does not mean they get scared and flee their nests, but which is not good either.
19. Goldfish are small delicate flowers.
Flickr / Benson Kua
Totally false. Yes, sometimes they end up in a bowl falls / WC early ... but these fish are actually quite rustic in nature. The fish can survive for hours outside water; they go to something a hibernation state until they are returned to the water.
20. Ostriches shove their heads in the sand when frightened.
Flickr / Dan Taylor
These large birds are almost glorified raptors, weighing up to 320 pounds and to reach speeds of about 40 miles per hour. Do you really think that creatures with these stats would stick their heads in the sand rather than just run or stay and fight? They have been known to win battles against lions with their kicks perfectly executed.
