We hosted the Night Animals program here at Lakewood last Wednesday.  It was a fascinating program and I learned a lot.  Here are just a few things:

Owls have a small edge of tattered fringe along the edge of their feathers which reduces the sound of flapping.  Their broad wings also help them coast further with less flapping.

Hedgehogs will poop and pee on your meeting room carpet if they get nervous.

50% of an alligator's length is in its tail.

Bull snakes are on average 5 feet long.  They can both climb and dig holes.
