In 1968, the Russian Zond 5 spacecraft carried two tortoises as it circled the Moon. The tortoises survived but lost 10 per cent of their weight.

In 1972 an elephant named Bimbo was awarded $4,500 damages by a Californian Court after losing interest in dancing and water-skiing after a road accident. The case was heard by Judge Turtle.

The speed at which Heinz tomato ketchup drips out of its bottle is limited to 0.028mph (about 1km a day). If it goes any faster, it is rejected.
