Buzzzzzzzzz Bumblebees can buzz without flying- the noise is generated by their wing muscles as they vibrate to shake pollen from flowers. American company Baby Bangs sells wigs for newborn babies! The hagfish has a skull, but no spine, and can tie itself in knots to remove the skin slime that it uses to deter predators.
