Animals Crossword Puzzles

1.A group of owls is called a parliament, inspired by C.S. Lewis's "The Chronicles of Narnia." Their wise and observant nature lends itself to this distinguished collective noun.
2.Octopuses have three hearts: two pump blood through the gills, and one circulates it to the rest of the body. They also have blue blood due to a copper-based protein called hemocyanin.
3.Despite their size, elephants are the only mammals that cannot jump. Their leg bone structure and muscle mass are not conducive to vertical movement.
4.The chameleon's tongue can be twice the length of its body and can snatch prey in just 0.07 seconds. This incredible speed is due to stored elastic energy in its tongue muscles.
