Animal misconceptions

Hey people from my class and or my teacher, how’s your day going. Because seriously who else would be reading this blog. So it’s been a really long time since I made a post on this thing. Mostly because ever since the need for an other blog to be posted was announced, I’ve been ether at school or at work. But finally, after several minutes trying to turn on my beautifully old and surprisingly still working laptop, I’m back to write some more. I bet you’re just as exited as me about this. Well lets get in to it, misconceptions about animals.

Now I chose some that I’ve heard many times but also heard corrected quite a few times, so hopefully you can at least learn something new about at least one.

To start one you see a lot in older cartoons is that bulls hate the colour red. I don’t know the exact reason why this one started, but I can imagine some guy hanging out in Spain one day with some bulls and they started chasing his red cloth or something. So they immediately thought it had to be because of it being red but it was actually because the guy was being mean. And so from then on people where just always told to fight bulls using red because they hate the colour. But in fact using the magic of science and logic, they where able to figure out that it’s not the colour but the movement that makes the bulls mad. So sorry cartoons your logic is flawed.

Next is one that has kind of become a saying. Is the one that lemming’s will all jump off if one of the members of there heard falls off a cliff. Now it’s kind of just a ridiculous notion to start, so of course it’s not true. Now I can see it being if maybe they where all running next to a cliff, a few might fall off by being pushed but the rest. But no one would follow. I do actually believe that this started by this one video that was made where they all jumped off, but it was actually the crew that pushed them. Like man who would do that.

I’ll end with one more quick one  that has been made into a saying. Bats are not blind. They can see just fine they just prefer to use there sonar. Like wouldn’t you if you had a cool power like that I know I would.

Well that’s it for this time. Thanks for reading.
