Dear Reader,
Did you know...
1. Everest is not the tallest mountain on Earth. The tallest mountain on Earth is Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
2. Chameleons do not change their color to blend in with their environment. They change color to communicate their moods, aggression, territorial behavior, and intention to mate.
3. Seahorses are monogamous life-mates that travel in pairs while holding each other's tails.
4. The loneliest creature on Earth is a whale that has been calling for a mate for two decades.
5. Many expensive perfumes contain whale poop.
6. Our sense of taste and smell are cut down by 50 and 20 percent during flights.
7. Sloths are sometimes known to grab their own arms instead of a tree branch, which can lead to fatal falls.
8. You can't sneeze in your sleep.
9. It rains diamonds on Saturn and Jupiter.
10. The cougar goes by more names than any other animal. You might know it as a puma, mountain lion, panther, catamount, el leon, mountain screamer, ghost cat, painter, and over a thousand (or million) more.
