  • 1) Cockroaches can survive for up to a month with their heads cut off.
  • 2) Sharks do not get cancer.
  • 3) Long-tailed, South American monkeys have an unusual way of crossing
    rivers. Clinging to each other, they form their bodies into a living
    bridge that stretches between the trees on either side of a river.
    Other members of the pack then climb across this 'monkey chain' to
    reach the other side.

  • 4) Duck quacks do not echo.
  • 5) Turtles never die of old age.
  • 6) Lemmings commit suicide by hurling themselves, en masse, off cliffs.
  • 7) There is a small village in Ecuador, called Vilcabamba, whose
    inhabitants have an average lifespan of over 100 years.

  • 8) Lightning occasionally imprints photographic images of surrounding
    scenery onto the skin of those it has struck.

  • 9) Physicists recently announced that they were able to slow down light
    waves until the waves were almost frozen in place.

  • 10) Gravity has a stronger pull at the Earth's poles than it does at the
    equator. As a result, a person who weights 150lbs at the equator,
    would weigh almost a pound heavier if they stood at the North Pole.
