Rainbows at night exist.

These rainbows are called moonbows and they only occur when there is a source of water near a full moon. If the moon is in any other phase, the light will not be enough to cause a moonbow.

A snail has about 2,500 teeth.

These teeth can be found on their tongue that’s covered in ridges. Snails eat by rubbing their tongue on its food while the ridges cut it into tiny pieces.

An organism with a dissapearing butt exists.

Scientists named this the comb jelly or the sea walnut. Research has stated that there has been no documentation of a transient anus, not even under a microscope.

The smell of freshly cut grass is noted to be the grass screaming in distress.

This smell is a chemical that grass uses to call other critters to come and rescue them. The chemical compounds that the plant releases can also be used to poison an enemy and alert surrounding plants.

Ostrich farms sometimes have difficulty getting their male ostriches to breed, since the male ostriches are more attracted to their human caretakers than to female ostriches.

Being gassy is normal.

It is considered normal to pass gas 6 to 20 times a day. The average person passes gas around fifteen times a day.

A wood frog species in Alaska is known to be able to hold its bladder for 8 months at a time.



For me, these days I am lucky if I can make it 8 minutes
