You Heard It Your Whole Life but It's a Myth

We've all seen it in a cartoon: turtles pop out of their shells whenever they like and walk around without their 'costume'. But does it really happen this way?

SUMMARY
- Stripes on each zebra form a unique pattern, so it's impossible to find 2 zebras that are exactly the same;
- Being "blind as a bat" is a figure of speech, and it comes from the assumption that bats cannot see properly;
- Lobsters aren't monogamous at all. Dominant male lobsters mate with several females;
- There are no amphibians that can give you warts but shaking hands with another human who has them can;
- Although turtles can tuck their limbs inside for protection, it's actually an integral part of the turtle's anatomy;
- If you compare a human fingerprint to a koala's, you'd hardly be able to tell the difference even under a microscope;
- Ostriches don't stick their heads in the sand when threatened. In fact, these guys don't bury their heads whatsoever;
- Multiple studies have proven that goldfish can remember things for several months, if not more;
- Studies revealed that both dogs and cats can see in green and blue;
- According to a popular misbelief, sharks can breathe only while moving because swimming helps them push water over their gills;
- Scientists suggest that sea otters developed this cute habit to stay close with their mating partners;
- Parent birds don't recognize their younglings by smell.
