China does not sell large pandas, but leases them to zoos around the world. Renting one panda brings China about $1 million annually.

A store in the UK has officially blacklisted a seagull because the feathered bird stole 30 packets of potato chips in 20 months

A feathered thief named Stephen used to steal chips right from the counter of the store, then the staff decided to teach him a lesson: replaced the usual chips with sharp ones. But even then, Steven outsmarted everyone - he scoped out and stole his favorite barbecue-flavored chips.

The war with Stephen lasted 20 months, during which he managed to steal dozens of packets and significantly frayed the nerves of workers. A sign outside the store now displays a picture of the thief and reads, "Please close the door behind you to prevent a local thief from entering."

Albatrosses can sleep during flight. While one part of the brain sleeps, the other part remains active and helps the bird not to fall and crash into an obstacle.

Dolphins have the same ability to swim in their sleep.

In Africa's shallow freshwater lakes and ponds live unusual fish - protopters. If their body of water suddenly dries up, they can live without water for months simply by burrowing into the ground.
⠀
With the onset of the dry season, the protopter begins to prepare for hibernation. During this time, it digs a nest, where it will stay for six to nine months, or even longer, until water returns. This fish digs its hole with its mouth, throwing crushed soil through the gill slits. When the "bedroom" is ready, the protopter climbs into it and stays there until the water completely recedes.

The only part of the world that has no deserts at all is Europe.

But if we consider Europe as part of Eurasia, then it turns out that there are desert regions on all continents. In Australia, for example, all life is concentrated along the coast, since the center of this continent is a desert.
