Historically, before the widespread use of clocks, candles were used not only for light but also as time keeping tool with lines indicating hours. People could estimate the time by observing how far down the candle had burned.
Facts: Squirrels 🐿️ can recognize ripe nuts using their sense of smell. They are also able to tell if an acorn or hazelnut has been hollowed out by weevils by recognizing that the nut is too light. In order to find previously buried nuts, they use a combination of memory, smell and observation of disturbed soil.
They can also use their fluffy tails like parachutes in order to balance themselves during high leaps.🙃
Fact: Water can boil and freeze at the same time: What is known as ‘triple point‘ exists in science. It occurs when temperature and pressure is just right for three phases (gas, liquid and solid) of a substance to coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium
Octopuses have three hearts: Octopuses have three hearts, with two pumping blood to the gills and the third keeping blood flowing to the organs.
Awesome facts! Thanks everyone 👍🏻
Fact: Raccoons 🦝 have four times more sensory cells in their paws than most mammals. This allows them to "see" with their hands and get images of the object they touch without even looking at them.
The first Apple logo isn’t what you would think. Originally, it featured Sir Isaac Newton sitting beneath a tree, with an apple about to fall on his head. It was designed back in 1976 and featured a phrase around the border that read “Newton…A mind forever voyaging through strange seas of thought…alone”.
Fun fact Blue whales have the biggest hearts

Gummy bears were originally called "dancing bears."
A group of stingrays is called a fever.
The word "parakeet" literally means "long tail."
The fastest insect on earth is the Australian tiger beetle. The beetle moves at such a clip that its sensory system cannot always keep up. Its eyes neglect their duties when moving in fast- forward. The insect’s ability to see properly shuts down and it blacks out. It has to slow down to see anything.
Moonglade is the bright reflection of the moon's light on an expanse of water.
Avocados are fruit: Although avocados are often prepared like vegetables, they are biologically classified as fruit.
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!

Thanks Egan! Nice group you've made. Very interesting as well.

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?
