• Clever capuchins (American monkeys), strip palm nuts and dry them out for two weeks in the sun before taking them to an anvil and smashing them open with a stone ‘hammer’ half their own body weight.
• An ant can carry up to 50 times its own body weight – that’s like one of us picking up a transit van.
• A bee’s flight is so efficient that it would need to eat only one ounce of honey to fly all the way around the globe.
• Bees fly 88,000km to produce every pound of honey.
• Sailfish can strike bait moving at 32km per hour – over four times faster than Olympic Gold Medallist swimmer, Michael Phelps.
