Eskimos use refrigerators to keep food from freezing.

and

Radio waves travel so much faster than sound waves that a broadcast voice
can be heard sooner 18,000 km away than in the back of the room in which it
originated.

Snow Leapards have two tails. The second is a smaller, almost opposable tail, although it has no strength, near the base of the main tail.

Slow-worms  have been known inhabit the empty/discarded skin of larger snakes (adders in the UK) in as a defence mechanism against predators.

To look hard basically.
