Geckos climb wals because they have microscopic hairs on thier feet that actualy interact with a surfaces molecular structure.

Tobbaco is not the word for the plant we smoke, it was the name of the pipe that the Native Americans smoked it in ( called a Tobago)

A dolphin and a porpoise have bigger brains in relation to size than humans.

Coral reefs are colonies of micro creatures named pollups, little hair-like things that live on the top layer of the coral. The coral grows because when one generation dies they leave behind a hard, stony, branching structure made of limestone which later generations call home.

US farms 1 trillion ears of corn a year, using a chemical called Atrazine that in the concentration of 1 part per billion causes male frogs to grow ovaries! Strangely, a higher dosage reduces the risk. Atrazine is the most widely used weed killer in the United States. It has also been linked to cancer in people.
