30 Surprising Facts That Are Actually True

So what? Wales' national animal is a dragon.

Animal is unicorn and flower is thistle. I see a pattern emerging.

More proof that I need to move to Scotland!

Think of all the change in the world that would happen in that amount of time

Elephants are also keen swimmers, they have been found miles and miles off the coast.

Also, wild boar swim really really well too. About 15 years ago, I saw some wild boar swimming in the Black Sea off the mole of the Tomis Marina, in Constanta, Romania - that's 15km either way up or down the coast from any conceivable place those pigs could have gone in the water, since to the north of Constanta there's the Mamaia resort and a big a*s petrochemical plant (yes, there's a refinery next to the resort, because our crazy dictator wanted tourists to SEE with their own eyes Romania's industrial might... And that's sadly not a joke) and to the south there's Constanta harbour, which, at 3,926 hectares, is the third largest port in Europe by area. And judging form this, it's not a singular occurrence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v3QfJoAQO0

I knew about this. I also heard that when they're punching, the water around them starts boiling. I think someone also said they where able to break a glass in the tank they're in, but I'm not sure about that part.

They also have amazing eyesight. Mantis shrimp eyes have sixteen - yes, SIXTEEN - different kinds of cones (color receptors) in their eyes.

hahaha and super googly eyes, wait don't tell the shrimp I said that

Forget the falcon punch, MANTIS PUNCH IS WHERE ITS AT!!

However, the product in the picture is up to 50% corn syrup in America. Buy your honey from local farmers.

Where is BARRY in this conversation?

Now that’s what I’m talking about!

Ah bee vomit, tasty and everlasting

In addition, honey is good for minor injuries. Next time you have a cut or a scrape, after cleaning it put honey on it instead of antibacterial cream. Works like magic!
