- The strongest creatures on Earth are gonorrhea bacteria. A gonorrhea bacterium has the ability to pull 100,000 times its own body weight.
- An octopus has nine brains and three hearts. The primary brain is where all the real thinking takes place. But an octopus also has eight ancillary brains—each located at the base of an arm. The arms may independently function and can, for instance, figure out how to open a shellfish while the primary brain might be thinking about what’s for dessert. Two of an octopus’s three hearts work exclusively with the animal’s gills, while the third keeps circulation flowing for the organs. When an octopus swims, the organ heart temporarily stops beating.
- Human stomach acid is powerful stuff. It can dissolve metal. In a study published in the journal Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, scientists found that the “thickened back of a single-edged blade” dissolved after only two hours of immersion in stomach acid.
- Rats are among only 65 species of animals with the ability to laugh in some form.
