Colin Kapernick And His Giant Pet Tortoise
Even though Colin Kapernick is best known for his mobility and elusiveness on the football field, his pet Sammy was nothing like him. At 115 pounds, the giant tortoise hails from the third biggest tortoise species on the planet. They can live as long as 150 years, so it is possible for these creatures to outlive their owners. As a matter of fact, it is not unusual for owners to add these creatures to their will in case anything happens. Do you remember when the San Francisco 49ers had been on their way to the Super Bowl in 2013? At the time, Sammy the tortoise had been active on Twitter and had a lot of things to say!
The Hugest Land Carnivores
The Kodiak bear and the Polar bear are some of the biggest land carnivores in the world. A male polar bear usually weighs 772 to 1,543 pounds. On the other hand, the female counterpart only weighs half of that on average. Seal is the meat of choice of these creatures. Thanks to climate change, the Polar Bear has a vulnerable conservation status. Biologists believe that there are only 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears on the planet right now. Even though they are usually painted as very aggressive creatures, there is no truth to this. As a matter of fact, Polar Bears tend to avoid confrontation and escape when they can.
