Fun Facts

The Atlantic Giant Squid's eye can be as large as 15.75 inches (40 centimeters) wide.

Why are flamingos pink?
Common myth says it's because they eat shrimp, but although they do eat shrimp, this is not the reason they are pink.
It's actually because they eat blue-green algae! Yes, that's right, BLUE-GREEN algae!

The largest meteorite crater in the world is in Winslow, Arizona. It is 4,150 feet across and 150 feet deep.
