A mole can dig a tunnel 300 feet long in just one night! A cockroach can live several weeks with its head cut off - it dies from starvation! A crocodile always grows new teeth to replace the old teeth! A group of geese on the ground is a gaggle, a group of geese in the air is a skein! A hard working adult sweats up to 4 gallons per day. Most of the sweat evaporates before a person realizes it's there, though! A hedgehog's heart beats 300 times a minute on average! A hippo can open its mouth wide enough to fit a 4 foot tall child inside! A hummingbird weighs less than a penny! A 'jiffy' is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second! A lump of pure gold the size of a matchbox can be flattened into a sheet the size of a tennis court! A quarter has 119 grooves on its edge, a dime has one less groove! After eating, a housefly regurgitates its food and then eats it again! Apples are more efficient than caffeine in keeping people awake in the mornings! Bulls are colorblind, therefore will usually charge at a matador's waving cape no matter what color it is -- be it red or neon yellow! Camels have three eyelids to protect themselves from blowing sand! Cat urine glows under a black-light!
