    I didn't know that about snakies, hmm, I guess with all that length, they'd have room for an extra lung!

    What creatures can make their own vitamin C?

    Here is a quote for a guinea pig book:
    Guinea pigs,unlike most other mammals,are unable to manufacture vitamin C within their bodies.

    oo,ooo, I have a did you know about rabbits

    They are hind gut fermentors...they have the same general digestive system as a horse does...which explains the no throw up thing...ruminants such as cows regurgitate to chomp on the food and break it down some more...but horses and rabbits have enlarged cecum's and do all their fermenting back there.

    random animal science fact....I have lots of them....I no more random facts than testable ones (its because they are more interesting)
