  • Did you know that human can hold their breath for about a minute on average, but it is way off the mark set by a beaver, it can hold its breath for as much as 45 minutes. Believe that!!
  •  We laughed it off and doubt if it could ever be done when we hear the phrase “You can’t jump over your own head”. But did you know that penguins can actually do it. They can elevate for more than six feet in the air!
  •  Our mouth is capable of holding to the fullest 1 1/2 cups of water at a single occasion. The volume of water is much too low if we compare it to how much an elephant’s mouth can accomodate. Elephant can sucks more than 7.5 liters of water into its trunk at a time.
  • For a lost tooth, it will take some weeks for human  to grow a new one. But tell it not to the sharks, for they have the ability to re-grow an entire set of teeth in less than 10 days!
  • Cats see six times better than human. While it will take our eyes a couple of minutes to adjust to the dark and have clear visibility, cats have perfect vision in darkness.

  • According to surveys, majority of newly-wed couples prefer to have two children in their home during their life time. But did you know, that a female mackerel can lay up to five hundred thousand eggs at a single time.
  • Housing problems will arise if an ant colony is place on an average American town. On average, about sixty-three thousand people live in a community. Guess how many ants are there in a typical ant colony- more than five hundred thousand individuals.
  • Try not to sleep for about 10 days and I guarantee, death will come your way. But did you know that ants do not sleep at all in their entire lifetime!
  • On average, health-conscious persons have no problem running 10 kilometers/hour.  However, dragonflies will outrun humans, for they can fly 100 kilometers/hour.
  • A new-born child averages between three and five pounds.  But not baby lobsters, for it will take at least a year for them, before they top the scale at one pound!

    Cats have better night vision but they are actually nearsighted. They cannot see across the street for example. While researching my article on marsupials I found there is one who can distinguish between more colors than humans. So all in all Papaleng, animals are pretty amazing, but then so is their maker.

    Take care & God bless!
