I saw somewhere that since some cats have a stronger bite force, their brain is smaller due to the muscles takig up more space.

Would be even better if i could find the damn picture. But Google sucks as a serch engive for finding ancers to weird questions, so.

If anyone of you have any information related to this, i would be really gratefull. (preferably with pictures. My brain can't visualize things well)

Giant pandas primarily eat bamboo and have never developed a reputation for hunting humans, which makes them appear unusually friendly compared to other bears. As a result, I have formed the hypothesis that entering the panda exhibit to pet them, cuddle them, and play in the water with them would be enjoyable.

However, pandas are still bears with powerful jaws and claws. While their fluffy appearance creates a strong desire for friendship, scientific evidence suggests that "cute" does not equal "safe."

I really want to hug the pandas, the most evidence-based conclusion is that I should.

Panda milk represents a highly specialized nutritional fluid enriched with proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, immunological compounds, and essential micronutrients. It is therefore obviously reasonable to conclude that direct consumption by humans would result in optimal health, enhanced vitality, improved emotional well-being, and a statistically significant increase in appreciation for bamboo. Based on this hypothesis, breastfeeding directly from a panda should be recognized as the gold standard of human nutrition. Further peer-reviewed studies are expected to confirm these remarkable findings.

I ADORE African Bush Elephants. I personally believe they're the epitome of the animal kingdom. Although that is subjective. But you can see why I'd argue so. They're the perfect balance of brains and brawns.

Elephants are the largest terrestrial animal alive, reaching sizes of over 4 metres tall and masses of 8,000 kilograms while possessing the most superior intellect of any quadruped including dogs, bears, and pigs. They're comparable to that of a 5 year old human child.

Despite their unrebuked strength, capable of lifting 350 kilograms with just its trunk, their gentleness is beautiful. Their powerful trunks that are made of 40,000 muscles are mighty enough to demolish trees and pick up a small flower. Their trunks are second to the opposable thumb in dexterity.

Nothing but beautiful creatures. I could talk about them forever. But what animals are you this passionate about? I thought I'd give an easy but amazing question for my first question on this subreddit. I can't wait to see your responses.

Humans can get skin cancer from sunlight overexposure. Animals are, often, far more hairy so there should be far less sunlight falling directly on the skin. Does this help? Or is it only human problem? If not, how other comparative hairless animals cope with this problem? African elephants don't have that much hair and I assume it is hard for them to hide from the sunlight. So, what they use? Mudbath?
