Did You Know?

  Did you know that North America has only 3 Native fruits. According to Dole.com and Pittsburgh Magazine, the fruits are concord grapes-such as the ones in the picture-, cranberries, and blueberries. That's it! I thought that there would be much more like Bananas or Apples but that's all.

  Did you know that Dolphins sleep with one eye open. they do this so they are alert if there was another animal- a predator- that would harm them. So because they have to sleep and stay alert, half of them is conscious, and the other half is a asleep. That's a pretty cool trick.

  If the title doesn't make any sense, then hears an explanation. Did you know that a company called  Eternal Reefs   uses the ashes from cremated bodies to make coral reefs. They look like the ones that are above in the picture. They'll put your plaque on it, personal messages from whoever knew the person who died and other things that are environmentally friendly. I think that this is a cool thing because then, when you die, you can help out the fish and other things that live in coral reefs. 

  I know, I know, it sounds impossible, but it's true. There is a reason for it, and the reason is kind of sciency. Here it is. Bananas are less dense then water so that is what makes it float.

  Most people may think dogs love chewing toys because it's just a fun activity to do. But here's the real reason.... It's because the squeak noise is similar to small animals being hunted. As many of you guys know, dogs are descendants to wolves and because of this, the noise activates their wolf genes and they start chewing and pouncing on just as their ancestors did. It's kind of dark isn't it?
