We may be familiar with cats and dogs, but there are many other remarkable creatures that begin with the letter C that often don’t get the recognition they deserve.
For example, take the capybara — a semi-aquatic rodent native to South America which can weigh up to 140 pounds! These fascinating animals have webbed feet that help them swim quickly and they tend to be gentle and friendly, even forming attachments with humans or other domesticated pets.
Then there are cows! They may not seem like exciting creatures at first glance, but in reality they display an incredible array of emotions — fear, joy and anger included — just like us! They also possess social intelligence that allows them to form complex bonds.
The camel is another interesting creature found mainly in Africa and Australia. These animals have adapted themselves for long treks through deserts; storing fat in their humps for energy whenever needed. As if these amazing features weren’t enough, camels are known for spitting saliva or dehydrated urine as far as 8 meters away when threatened!
Finally we come to cockatoos: vibrant birds usually found in tropical areas whose head crests boast gorgeous feather plumes. Rather than flying during migration season like most birds do, cockatoos prefer hopping around on land instead — taking short leaps at a time. Some species – such as the sulfur-crested cockatoo – have been reported to learn human words and recreate them!
