Fun fact . Sharks are older than dinosaurs: The earliest shark fossils are 450 million years old, making sharks older than trees and dinosaurs.
Octopuses have three hearts. Two of the hearts pump blood to the gills, while the third pumps it to the rest of the body. Interestingly, when an octopus swims, the heart that pumps blood to the body actually stops beating, which is one reason they prefer crawling over swimming—it’s less tiring! Additionally, their blood is blue because it contains copper-based hemocyanin instead of iron-based hemoglobin like humans.
Unprocessed honey can be used to mummify a body, while pineapple juice can be used to dispose of one.
Interesting facts, thanks for sharing!
Acacia trees, found across the African savannah, have an ingenious defence mechanism. When animals like antelopes munch on their leaves, these trees crank up their tannin production to toxic levels.
Welcome to the group Kakashi and Reginald 👍🏻
Acacia honey has the consistency of butter, and it takes 4 years to harvest a single jar (according to the label)
Happy Thursday everyone!
Fact: Snakes 🐍 do not have eyelids. Although they cannot close their eyes while they are sleeping, they can close their retinas.
Garden snakes are one of the few reptiles that are warm blooded and give live birth.
Sohanskey it’s Sunday today! 😂 Are you feeling a bit tipsy already? Happy birthday to the wonderfully chaotic soul! Hakuna ma’ vodka! Cheers! 🎂🥳🥴
Reg, thanks for the facts!
😃😁😁😁😁thank you🌹 so much eganskey
Don’t drink too much, you’ll end up believing it’s my birthday! 😂
>>> Welcome to the group Kakashi and Reginald ...
Thanks Egan! Nice group you've made. Very interesting as well.
Hi Kite! I haven’t seen you in a long time. How have you been? I've really missed our conversations. Is crying room still active?😅
This group existed a long time ago. I’m glad you could join us.
Sea otters 🦦 wrap themselves in kelp so that they don't drift on the ocean while they sleep.
Helloo Egan! I didn't know about this room. I was asking around in many GC's about you. I thought you quit anti. Finally, a user named 'Just Great', helped me out, with your group link.
I've missed seeing your messages around here. I'm glad I found you again. The crying room is still going. Anon is the only one who uses it from the past fellow members. Rest are all new.
I've been doing good. Healthy, lively and pursuing my dreams as usual.
How have you been?
>>> Hi kite welcome🎉
Thank you Soh! How's life, now that you're married. 😊
I'm so glad you reached out. Things are going well on my end, thank you. Feel free to jump back in and share some mind-blowing facts.😊
Beavers have a transparent third eyelid that acts like a goggle which allows them to see underwater while protecting their eyes when submerged.
Bananas are technically berries, but strawberries aren’t! In botanical terms, a berry is a fruit that develops from a single ovary and has seeds embedded inside. Bananas fit this definition, while strawberries do not because their seeds are on the outside. 🍌🍓
From the early 1900s until about 1945, milk 🥛was commonly used to make many different plastic ornaments. They made buttons, decorative buckles, beads and other jewelry, fountain pens, the backings for hand-held mirrors, and fancy comb and brush sets. Milk plastic is usually called casein plastic, was even used to make jewelry for Queen Mary of England.
Science and Nature:
The largest iceberg in the world ran aground: The giant iceberg A23a, measuring around 4,000 km², ran aground on South Georgia, an island near Antarctica. This event is significant due to the colossal size of the iceberg and its potential impact on the local marine ecosystem.
Fact: Squirrels have four front teeth which never stop growing throughout their lives. This ensures that their teeth don’t wear down from constant gnawing on 🌰 and other objects.
In the quantum world, particles can exist in a state called "superposition," where they can be in multiple states or locations simultaneously until they are measured.
So, This means that an electron, for example, can be in multiple places at once until an observation forces it to "choose" a specific position. This bizarre behavior is famously illustrated by Schrödinger's thought experiment involving a cat that is simultaneously alive and dead until observed. This principle is fundamental to quantum mechanics and underpins technologies like quantum computing.
Mind-bending fact! That's really informative, thanks for sharing Kite.
Anytime Egan. Cat flaps in 14th century? Awesome.
Some scientists still believe the Ancient Greek could not see the colors green and blue due to the absence of these words into ancient texts and to the reference to red and brown to describe the sea 🌊
