Building an emergency fund
one of the most fascinating animals I have come across in my life is the northern short-tailed shrew. It must be one of the cutest little animals to walk the planet. It’s not its looks that make it so fascinating, but rather its “saving habits”, or more specifically, its “emergency fund”.
Its primary food source is insect larvae, but what I didn’t know, is that its saliva contains a type of venom that paralyses its prey. This venom makes the prey comatose, after which it drags it to its nest to feed on later.
