The first known contraceptive was crocodile dung, used by Egyptians in 2000 B.C.
There are more plastic flamingos in America than real ones.
It was discovered on a space mission that a frog can throw up. The frog throws up its stomach first, so the stomach is dangling out of its mouth. Then the frog uses its forearms to dig out all of the stomach's contents and then swallows the stomach back down again.
The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin during World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo.

ceans of the Southern hemispherePut 22 elephants on one side of a balance scale and the blue whale on the other, and the blue whale will weigh more. It is the largest and heaviest animal that has ever existed. Each day, it eats 2 ton of small shellfish called krill. Even though it so big and heavy, the blue whale can jump out of the water, swim on its back, and dive very deep. What's more, this heavyweight swims at speeds of up to 20 miles per hour. When whalers got fast boats and harpoon guns, blue whales became major targets. As a result, these giant whales became very rare. "
google power!
There has to be more than 1 animal though, surely a sloth can't jump? it's never had to and has anyone seen it doing a jump?

Astronauts are not allowed to eat beans before they go into space because passing wind in a spacesuit damages them. mmm I know a few people who'll never make N.A.S.A then.

The term 'News' is actually an acronym for North East West South...and was supposed to signify that information was being gathered from all 4 corners

A dandelion is actually a corruption of "dent de lion" or "lion's teeth" because the shape of the leaves looks a little like teeth. Ironically, in france the same plant's name translated to "piss your pants" due to the diuretic effect of the leaves when eaten.

When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a two-way mirror?? Just conduct this simple test: Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, for it is a two-way mirror.

The banana is a herb, oh and the crane fly story, about strongest venom, is an urban myth, they have hardly any venom at all.
Oh and crane flys aren't really daddy long legs as we all like to call them, the daddy long legs is a very long legged tiny spider.

fart facts
Fart facts
Rates vary, but generally most people fart more than ten and fewer than twenty tunes each day. The quantity is said to be enough to blow up one small balloon.
The temperature of your fart is 98.6 degrees, the same as your body should be.
The Yanomami, an Indian tribe in South America, use farting as a greeting.
One serious study on the differences between the sexes concerning their eructation habits found mat when fed the exact same food, women have more concentrated gas than men, or "a greater odor intensity."
Less than 1 percent of a fart is made up of the chemicals that stink, but they're so pungent that people can smell them at levels of 1 part in 100 million.
Each volley of farts consists of about 9 percent carbon dioxide and 7 percent methane, two gases that contribute to global warming.
Farts are created mostly by E. coli and other bacteria that are microfarting inside of you.
The world's greatest contemporary farter is said to be an eleven-year-old who farted 217 times in five minutes on a radio call-in show.
Farts have been clocked at 10 feet per second.
