Slugs Have 4 Noses

.
slugs have four noses or so it is said
and a pig cannot see the blue sky overhead
 .
birds cannot pee and worms eat their own poo
and a crocodile can’t poke it’s tongue out at you
 .
Kangaroos cannot jump if you lift up their tail
and a small child could swim through the veins of a whale
 .
a shrimp has a heart which he keeps in his head
a hot Hippo is scary his sweat is bright red
 .
but the best fact of all, and this one takes the crown -
pink flamingos have lunch with their heads upside down!
.
