Young Panda
As if pandas weren't already the most adorable creatures in the world! Though this one comes with the added benefit of not being physically able to bite your head off. Always a good quality when choosing a companion.
Female Ferret
A female ferret will die if it goes into heat and cannot find a mate. Question: What's worse than going out on a date with somebody, realizing it's not going to work out, and ending the date by breaking it off with them? Answer: Being a female ferret in the exact same situation. Poor gals. *sigh* *sigh* *sigh*
Jellyfish
One species of jellyfish can revert back to it's child stage after becoming sexually mature, effectively making it immortal. It's called the Turritopsis nutricula, and it achieves this through the cell development process of transdifferentiation, which you can look up on your own time. Before you even ask, yes, scientists are studying the jellyfish as we speak, though who can say what will come of it.
Blue Whale
A blue whale weighs as much as three elephants and is as long as three Greyhound buses. This is a good perspective fact, because if you were anything like our ignorant selves, you always sort of figured elephants and whales were about the same size. Not so, dear readers, not so at all. Whales are absolutely MASSIVE.
