5 animals with

interesting
survival skills
Borneo frog
Found in Indonesia,
this rare frog has no
lungs. Through
millions of years of
evolution, the Borneo
frog has adapted its
body to survive in the
fast moving cold river
water of the rainforest
by breathing solely
through its skin.
Mimic
octopus
The
Thaumoctopus
mimicus, a
species of
octupus, can
change not only
its color, but its
shape as well.
Cicadas
Cicadas of the
genus Magicicada
appear in huge
swarms
periodically, which
eventually satiates
their predators and
leaves most of
them alive.
Pistol
shrimp
A unique claw plays a
significant role in this
shrimp's defense. The
claw has a "hammer"
part that moves
backwards into a right
angle then snaps
forward hitting the
other part of the claw.
This creates a powerful
wave of bubbles
capable of breaking
glass.
Opossum
This marsupial
survives by
pretending not to
survive. Playing
dead and emitting
an odor that
resembles a
deceased animal
is the opossums
greatest defense.
Which one is the
BEST?
