#6 Strange But True Facts (Fluttershy's Naturist Edition: Double the Facts!) · 8:25pm Jul 19th, 2018
1. More than 60,000 species of trees have been identified. Of those, more than half exist in only a single country.
2. Dragonflies are the fastest insects on Earth. They have been clocked flying at an astounding 80 mph as they chase down females during mating season.
3. Pearls melt if placed in vinegar.
4. Almonds are not a nut; they belong to the peach family.
5. More people die each year from falling coconuts than shark attacks: 6 deaths annually from shark attacks, average of 150 deaths annually from coconuts. The tasty fruit might seem innocent, but as it falls and strikes the ground (or someone's head) below, it can hit with a force of up to 1,000 kgs (factors depend here).
6. A majority of oak trees do not produce acorns until they are at least 50 years old.
7. Jellyfish are 95% water.
8. Dolphins can hear sounds underwater from up to 15 miles away.
9. March 14th is "Save a Spider Day."
10. The largest predatorial land animal is the kodiak bear of Alaska. It can grow up to 14 ft tall (standing on its hind legs) and weigh over 1,500 lbs.

Once again, shocking facts

Such interesting facts.
Wow...coconuts.....never knew they could kill like that.
that is one big bear.
That's everyday I see a spider. I always take insects outside. I'm such a spineless pacifist. Though I did have a mutual relationship with one that built a web between my computer tower and desk. It killed 16 ants that would have been leaving a trail for more to come
