Fact Hunters: Kangaroos, snakes & giraffes
Ruby Burchell
Did you know that baby kangaroos are known as ‘joeys’. A group of kangaroos is called a ‘mob’, ‘troop’ or ‘court’. The red kangaroo is the largest marsupial in the world.
Lola Trinder
Did you know that when a snake’s tongue is flicked out into the air, receptors on the tongue pick up minuscule chemical particles, which are perceived as scent? After it’s retracted into its sheath, the tips of the tongue fit neatly into the Jacobson's organ, sending the information to the brain.
Elisbet Ivasyuk
Were you aware that the Queen was born at 2.40am on 21 April 1926 at 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London? Princess Elizabeth was enrolled as a Girl Guide when she was eleven, and later became a Sea Ranger.
Teni Adu
Incredibly giraffes have an extremely high blood pressure (280/180 mm Hg) which is twice that found in humans. Additionally, the heart beats up to 170 times per minute double that of humans.
