What is your most disturbing fun fact?

Poor babies.

Rabbits are designed to eat continuously. They need their body volume in dry roughage daily, or their GI system shuts down. If a rabbit doesn't eat for 12 hours, it's an emergency, and they must be force fed. At 24 hours they go into GI stasis, and even with intervention they can die.

Sounds painful.

Female spotted* hyenas have a 'pseudo-penis'.

Yes, they give birth through it.

Yes, that's exactly as painful and dangerous as it sounds.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
