Cockroaches are really interesting organisms. They can live for at least a month without food, with some references saying three months. Without water though, survival is only possible for a week. This can enable them to survive in areas in which other animals might perish.

4. Do you sleep at night? Of course you do. Now tell me what type of work you can do while sleeping? Of course, nothing. There is a bird that can sleep even during flying. Can you name that bird?

Answer: Albatross

The albatross is one of the largest birds in the world. Once they are fledged, they spend most of their time flying over the seas and oceans. They even sleep while flying but this can make them easy prey for their predators.

5. Like the brain, the heart is also an important part of an animal. It pumps blood that circulates through the whole body. Which of these animals has three hearts?

Answer: Octopus

An octopus has eight tentacles. It doesn't have only eight arms but also has three hearts. The functions of all the hearts are the same, i.e. to pump blood. Octopuses live underwater in seas and oceans, and have suckers on their arms which help to catch their prey.

Answer: House fly

Houseflies are the vectors that carry diseases to our houses. They taste food with their legs. They have taste buds on their legs which we usually have on our tongues to taste. Houseflies can spread diseases like typhoid and cholera, so beware of these insects.

7. Can you live if you have been cut in half? No. One of these animals can be cut in half and each piece will grow into a new animal. Which of these animals can perform this trick?

Answer: Starfish

A starfish is a marine invertebrate animal. The starfish is an amazing animal because it can regenerate if it is divided into two equal halves. This can only occur when part of its central core is present in each detached part of the starfish. The starfish first repairs the wound that it got during the cutting or detachment.

Then it starts creating new cells which in turn sparks new growth of that part. Some organisms, like lizards, can regenerate a tail. Your human liver is capable of regeneration after illness or trauma, to a certain point.
