Transcript:
Elephants are right or left-handed- they prefer to use one of their tusks almost exclusively. Wild parrots name their offspring- they use individual calls that the chicks used to identify themselves. United States founding father Alexander Hamilton and his son Philip both died in duels at the same spot in Weehawken, NJ, using the same pistols, 3 years apart.
