    'Whales that are found in both Northern and Southern hemisphere never meet or breed together. Their migration is timed so that they are never in breeding areas at the same time.',
    'The arched lower lip of a whale can often make it look like it is smiling! However, this isn’t a “real” smile as the blubber in the head of the whale prevents the muscles of the face from reaching the surface.',
    'You can tell the age of a whale by looking at the wax plug in its ear. This plug in the ear has a pattern of layers when cut lengthwise that scientists can count to estimate the age of the whale.',
    'Whales love to sing! They use this as a call to mates, a way to communicate and also just for fun! After a period of time they get bored of the same whale song and begin to sing a different tune.',
    'Sometimes whales make navigation mistakes during migrations. Although they may have made the mistake days before, they don’t realise it until they becoming stranded.',
    'Whales support many different types of life. Several creatures, such as barnacles and sea lice, attach themselves to the skin of whales and live there.'
    'Whales are mammals. They breathe air, give birth to live young, and nurse (i.e., feed milk to) their young',
    'Whales sleep by resting half of their brain at a time. That means they can still surface to breathe while they are sleeping',
    'Whales have excellent hearing, and can hear other whales from thousands of kilometers away'

WOLF_FACTS = (
    'Wolves are excellent hunters and have been found to be living in more places in the world than any other land mammal except humans.',
    'The wolf is the ancestor of all breeds of domestic dog. It is part of a group of animals called the wild dogs which also includes the dingo and the coyote.',
    'Most wolves weigh about 40 kilograms but the heaviest wolf ever recorded weighed over 80 kilograms!',
    'Adult wolves have large feet. A fully grown wolf would have a paw print nearly 13 centimeters long and 10 centimeters wide.',
    'Wolves live and hunt in groups called a pack. A pack can range from two wolves to as many as 20 wolves depending on such factors as habitat and food supply. Most packs have one breeding pair of wolves, called the alpha pair, who lead the hunt.',
    'Wolf pups are born deaf and blind while weighing around 0.5 kg (1 lb). It takes about 8 months before they are old enough to actively join in wolf pack hunts.',
    'Wolves in the Arctic have to travel much longer distances than wolves in the forest to find food and will sometimes go for several days without eating.',
    'When hunting alone, the wolf catches small animals such as squirrels, hares, chipmunks, raccoons or rabbits. However, a pack of wolves can hunt very large animals like moose, caribou and yaks.',
    'When the pack kills an animal, the alpha pair always eats first. As food supply is often irregular for wolves, they will eat up to 1/5th of their own body weight at a time to make up for days of missed food.',
    'Wolves have two layers of fur, an undercoat and a top coat, which allow them to survive in temperatures as low at minus 40 degrees fahrenheit! In warmer weather they flatten their fur to keep cool.',
    'A wolf can run at a speed of 40 miles per hour during a chase. Wolves have long legs and spend most of their time trotting at a speed of 7-10 miles per hour. They can keep up a reasonable pace for hours and have been known to cover distances of 55 miles in one night.',

YAK_FACTS = (

  'The yak is a long-haired bovid found throughout the Himalaya region of southern Central Asia, the Tibetan Plateau and as far north as Mongolia and Russia.',
  'Most yaks are domesticated animals, though there is also a small, vulnerable wild yak population.',
  'Bos mutus is the scientific name for the wild yak and Bos grunniens for domesticated yak.',
  '90% of all known yaks can be found in Tibetan Plateau in the Himalayas.',
  'Yak is a close relative of buffalo and bison.',
  'The average lifespan of a yak is about 20 years in the wild and slightly longer when in captivity.',
  'The yak is a herd animal that tend to gather in herds from 10 yaks to 100 yaks, most of which are females and their young.',
  'The yak is the third largest beast in Asia, after the elephant and rhino.',
  'Body of yak is covered with thick, wooly coat. It can be brown, black or white in color. Main purpose of the fur is preservation of the body heat and protection against low outer temperatures.Domesticated yak’s coat is less furry, but more diverse in color than the wild yak.',
  'Yaks have long, bushy tails which are used for the production of fake beards in certain Chinese theaters.',
  'Among domesticated animals, yaks are the highest dwelling animals of the world, living at 3,000–5,000 meters (9,800–16,400 feet).',
  'Yaks are herbivores.A great deal of the yaks time is spent on grassy plains in the mountains grazing on grasses, herbs and wild flowers.',
  'Yaks grunt and, unlike cattle, are not known to produce the characteristic bovine lowing (mooing) sound.',
