10 Recently Discovered Awesome Animal Abilities
Anyone who’s had a pet dog, cat, or other animal is well aware of their amazing abilities. A dog can smell scents and odors imperceptible to people, and a cat’s fantastic balance and nimble coordination are greater than those of the most gifted acrobat or gymnast. Animals that aren’t usually kept as pets also exhibit incredible powers, such as hibernation, using sonar to navigate, walking on water, and delivering powerful electrical shocks to prey or threatening predators. These astonishing powers aren’t the only ones animals possess, though, as the 10 recently discovered awesome animal abilities on this list clearly attest.

A new study shows a species of tree snake uses an unprecedented form of locomotion in order to climb objects like trees.
The brown tree snake loops its body into a lasso around wide, cylindrical objects in order to ascend them.
This lasso technique likely helps the snake scale wider trees and hunt birds nesting in the canopy.

The brown tree snake loves to snack on birds.
One of the world s most prolific invasive species, this tropical predator decimated bird populations on Guam over the last 70 years.
Now scientists may have figured out how.
According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology, brown tree snakes can climb an object like a tree trunk by wrapping their bodies around it in a lasso shape and shimmying upward.
