"Neither otter nor shrew, the poorly-named giant otter shrew (Potamogale velox) is in fact more closely related to elephants. Nearly blind, these semiaquatic African carnivores swim like crocodiles with side-to-side motions of their powerful tails, sniffing out prey like crabs, fish, and frogs."

"Acorn woodpeckers are so good at snugly fitting acorns into holes they make in trees that they often have trouble pulling them out. In fact, whenever the woodpecker finds a loose acorn in a hole, it will put the acorn into a tighter fitting hole. It's all about keeping critters from stealing them."
