Here are some random facts for you.
1. According to a 2025 study, humans have visually documented about 1,470 square miles of the deep seafloor, or just 0.001%. That’s a little larger than the size of Rhode Island.
2. Baby elephants suck their trunks for comfort, just as a human baby would suck its thumb.
3. South Africa didn’t have television service until 1976. (It’s unclear what programs were the first to air, but 1976 WAS just in time for the premiere of “Charlie’s Angels”.)
4. The first webcam was invented in 1991, and it was because computer science researchers at the University of Cambridge just wanted to see if there was coffee in the break room.
5. Tigers are nearly invisible to their prey, who see orange as green. Tigers are orange because mammals can’t produce green fur, and orange is the next best thing.
