(8) Sea horses are the only animals in the entire world whose male members carry their young rather than the females. While mating, the female leaves the eggs in the small pouch of the male, thereby making it pregnant. This leaves the female free to make more eggs and reproduce at a faster rate.
(9) A turtle's gender is not determined by chromosomes but the ambient temperature of the eggs. This has become a matter of concern in light of global warming with a threat of an all-female population and extinction.
(10) Polar bears have clear fur covering a layer of black skin which helps them absorb the sun's rays better. The rays get trapped in the fur and cause luminescence which makes it look white.
