Honey can be fatal for babies aged less than one year!

Although honey is a lot of health benefits, it should not be given to infants less than one year because of the risk of infant botulism. Babies under one year do not have a digestive system completely matured and are susceptible to food poisoning botulism.

Some spiders have a portion of their brains in their feet!

 

Bill Eberhar, a researcher at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and professor at the University of Costa Rica, examined nine spider species from six different families and showed that tiny spiders have huge brains relative to their body it is spread in almost all of their body cavities until their paws.

We only explored 5% of the oceans!

The ocean is so huge that we have barely scratched the surface when it comes to exploration. Indeed, the ocean represents 70% of our planet and we explored only 5%, so 65% of the land has not been explored until now and that means that the topographic maps of Mars , Moon and Venus are more advanced than that of the earth.
The reason we saw so little of our oceans is extremely difficult to get there. In the deep ocean it is almost impossible to survive without specialized equipment designed to withstand pressure differences and excessive temperature.

Hippos milk is pink!

The hippo secretes two types of unique acid called "hipposudoric acid" and "norhipposudoric acid." These two acids are strong enough to minimize the growth of bacteria on the skin of the hippopotamus, they also act as a sunscreen to the skin of the animal because they absorb UV rays which destroy the cells of the skin.

The hipposudoric acid is bright red while norhipposudoric acid is bright orange. Both merge with milk hippo to give this pink color.
