Giraffes have Purple tongues

Giraffes have purple tongues, and for good reasons too, says my source. 

Since they eat leaves off trees all day in the hot African sun, their tongues need to be protected in order to prevent skin cancers from forming, so after centuries of evolution they have developed the perfect tongues to handle the harsh conditions they encounter.

My source is quite reliable, so I trust that this is all true.

All Polar Bears are Left Handed

 

Polar bears are left handed, so they tell me, but is there any proof to this fact?

Apparently, while hunting, they would use their right paw to cover their black nose so it will be harder to see them (very clever), and use their left paw (the more dominant one) to strike at their prey.  So they do have a inclination to favour their left paw.

Good on them I say. I'm left handed, and so is my wife, so becuase of that, I can clam a bond to these beautiful creatures.
