b) Very little is known about its history or reproductive habits.

c) Has GOP-leaning tendencies, though — due to disagreements with mainstream Republicans and neoconservatives on such issues as the war in Iraq — is often considered a libertarian or paleoconservative.

d) Attained the rank of lieutenant in the U.S. Army during the Korean War.

e) Its liver is exceptionally large, sometimes making up nearly 25% of its body weight.

f) Outed Valerie Plame as a CIA agent in a 2003 column, reported the information was provided to him by two "senior administration officials."
