Some animals have odd and unique behaviours, including selective dietary preferences, sleeping patterns, mating practices and reproductive activities. Koalas sleep up to 20 hours in a day and eat only one type of plant leaf. There are camels with more than one hump. Have you ever seen a zookeeper try to clean the bottom of an elephant's foot? Did you know that penguins can swim up to 18 minutes underwater, and that orangutans enjoy wearing human clothing? These and many other quirky animal facts are told in this eccentric episode.
