  • Cows have best friends and they get stressed when they are separated.

  • If you folded a piece of paper in half 42 times, it would reach the moon! (Challenge a senior to see how many times they can fold a paper - I got to 6!).

  • Sharks existed on Earth before trees.

  • A blue whale's heart is the size of a Volkswagen Beetle!


  • Women blink nearly twice as much as men.
