Match the animal with its fun fact!
A.) This animal has a lot of teeth—between 74 and 80 in their mouth at any time! When their teeth wear out or fall out, new ones grow in. This keeps happening throughout their lives, and they can end up having up to 3,000 teeth over their lifetime!
B.) This animal is super special because it is the only mammal that can really fly! Some species can even zoom through the sky faster than 100 miles per hour that's faster than a car on the highway!
C.) This animal has an amazing sense of smell—about 10,000 times better than ours! One of the most popular species can even smell their prey from two miles away.
D.) This animal make different sounds like clicks, whistles, and squeals. They use these sounds to talk to each other and to find their way around underwater, almost like using sounds as a flashlight!
E.) This animal can hold up to three gallons of water in its bill—that's enough to fill about 44 cups! This happens because they have a stretchy pouch under their bill where they can store water and fish.

More Puzzles! Can you solve them?
Did you know that daylight can make you feel happier? It's true! When it's sunny and bright outside, especially during summer, people usually feel more cheerful. That's because sunlight helps boost our mood and makes us feel good inside! So, next time it's a sunny day, try spending some time outside in the light and see if it brightens your day too!
