The Soft Issue
Did You Know?
August 2017
HERE, let’s look at some weird but interesting facts you
might not know about animals. The unique part here is
that each animal fact will be related to events happening
in UNILORIN as well as to the personalities of some
UNILORIN students. Are you ready? Then let’s dive!
By: Blessing John
1. For every human in the world there are
1million ants
No wonder! In UNILORIN, to every working
socket, there are about 1million extension
boxes and chargers connected to it.
2. A grasshopper can leap 20 times the length of
its own body.
Hmmm... that’s exactly how some students jump
when there is mass failure in a course and they
managed to have a D.
3 An insect called praying mantis can turn its
head 360 degrees.
Some students can do that too in the
examination hall.
4 An Elephant can smell water 3 mile s away.
Shey you remember that hostel neighbour of
yours who usually knocks your door when you
are about to eat? Don’t blame him/her. He/She
has perceived your meal 3 miles away.
5 Ants never sleep.
That reminds me of some students. You always
find them in night classes. I wonder if they sleep
at all.
6 The fear of animal is Zoophobia.
After reading this, some students will tell you
that the fear of water is DAMophobia.
7 Sea Otters hold hands while they sleep to
prevent them from drifting apart.
I’m sure that is how you hold your bags, tabs and
laptops to prevent them from drifting away when you
sleep at night classes. He-he!!
8 Frogs don’t drink water. They absorb it through
their skins.
In like manner, some Scholars don’t read books; they
absorb them through their skulls into their brains.
Bravo!
9 Cows have 4 stomachs.
Some Students are like this too. That is
why you see them on walk way always buying
something and eating. It’s not their fault; they are
actually trying to fill up their 4 stomachs.
10. Octopuses have 3 hearts
Good news to all ladies! You’ve got to be like Sister
Octopus. Just in case your current Boyfriend breaks
your heart, you will still have 2 more hearts left.
Lucky you.
11. Male frogs use croaking to attract female frogs.
Some guys too do that. They use their GP’s to attract
ladies. You know yourselves o.
12. There is a butterfly in Africa with enough poison
to kill 6 cats.
There is usually a course in every faculty that is
difficult enough to have worth up to 6 units. Do I have
a witness?
13. At birth, a baby panda is smaller and shorter
than an average mouse.
In UNILORIN, 2nd semesters are baby pandas.
