1. Twitching Rabbit Noses – Think of a rabbit and those cut twitching noses probably comes to mind. Well, the rabbits are not trying to be cute. They depend on their sense of smell to sniff out danger.

2. Think the longest word in the English language is supercalofragilistic? Nope. Not even close. The longest word is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. This whopper of a word is the name for a lung disease. Imagine catching it and then being unab

3. The Drinking Habit of Sheep – You might consider sheep to be a boring, every day kind of animal. In truth, they have their odd little characteristics like everyone else. One is the fact sheep will not drink running water.

4. Italian Barbie Dolls – There are a lot of people in Canada. If you agree, you will probably be amazed to know there are more Barbie Dolls in Italy than there are Canadians!

6. Look Behind You! – Ever wondered what is behind you? Well, rabbits do not. They can see behind them without turning their heads. Oddly, the same goes for parrots.

7. Water Used When Brushing Your Teeth – If you leave the water on when brushing your teeth, you are wasting a lot. On average, four gallons are used if you do so!

8. Vodka Warmth in Russia – Why do Russians drink so much vodka? To keep warm. They say it keeps you warm on the inside while you are cold on the outside.

9. Voltaire and Coffee - Voltaire was one of the great thinkers of his time. So, how did he stay so motivated? He drank up to 50 cups of coffee a day. Heck, it is surprising he didn’t come up with more!!!

10. The Truly Bizarre Wolphin – Many species of animals are actually the result of breeding across species lines. One such creature is the Wolphin, a cross between a whale and dolphin. Only one is ever known to have existed.
