Every strawberry grows the same amount of seed on the outside, no matter how large it gets.
That's very interesting to know, actually.

There's only 4 types of albino animals in the world; squirrels, koalas, rhinos and giraffes. they are the only naturel ones. Sometimes other animals are born albino but they are not meant to be that way.
Albinism is a mutation that can occur in various animals. It's not any less natural in any other animal than what you mentioned there.
Also the only other animal that has sex for pleasure.
Many animals enjoy sex and will resort to masturbation if they do not have a suitable target to pursue.

There is a bird called a great tit. (google it)
There's also the blue tit, elegant tit, varied tit, and bearded tit, although bearded tits are not real tits.

No. Just no. I think you meant to talk about hyenas.
Uh, some trivia of my own:
Some scientists have come to the conclusion that pigeons are as intelligent as three-year-old humans. Their visual memory is amazing and they can categorize pictures that have very subtle differences. They can even tell the difference between works of Picasso and Monet.
Some famous pigeon keepers: Charles Darwin, Mike Tyson, Marlon Brando, Henri Matisse, and Walt Disney. Pablo Picasso even named his daughter "Paloma" which means "dove".
Pigeons, much like dogs, can be easily bred to different forms, even the manner of how they fly can be modified to great extents. There are hundreds of pigeon breeds, some of them very old. Pigeons delivered messages and were bred for food before the red junglefowl (chicken) found its way to our tables. The pigeons we see in cities today are descendants of our domesticated pigeons that escaped or got lost while delivering messages.
Um, something not about pigeons...
Pig's penis is shaped like a corkscrew, sort of. An elderly man had a sexual relationship with a boar, which was a very bad idea in the long run, because... Well, I don't think I should describe the injuries here.
Bedbugs have an interesting way to mate. The male wastes no time courting, he stabs the female straight through the abdomen. Poor females even developed a fake sexual organ to deceive males, but apparently it's not helping much.
Flatworms are perhaps even more peculiar. They fence with their dicks and the loser has to bear the offspring. It's a very dramatic sight to witness.
The digestive tract of a panda is that of an omnivore. They choose to eat almost nothing else than bamboo, though. Way to specialise in living off a plant that has very little nutrients and dies in masses every 60 years or so!
Mammals cannot produce green or blue pigment. For example, the blue and green colourations in our eyes are not caused by pigment, but lipid layers (or something like that, I forget). At least two mammals are cheating by having their skin blue because of the structure, much like oil seems colourful when you look at from an angle. These animals are the mandrill, which has blue in its face and ass, and vervet monkey, which has blue balls.
There are very few animals that can recognise themselves from a mirror. Among them are the kind you expect: dolphins, great apes, elephants, etc. But there are two that you wouldn't expect to see in the list: pigeons and magpies. I've always considered magpies very intelligent, and while wild pigeons are unable to replicate the pigeon like laboratory pigeons, it's still remarkable.
