There are a lot of interesting things in the world. There is a lot we don't know about. And this is a reason to get to know our world a little closer. This could start with some interesting short facts that can surprise many.
Man is the main mystery of nature
This is true. Man is an amazing creature, endowed with a powerful mind, and his qualities, it can be said with confidence, are not fully revealed. But there are interesting short facts about our body that may surprise you.
For example, the only part of the body that does not have a blood supply is the cornea. It receives oxygen directly from the air.
The capacity of the human brain is more than 4 terabytes. The nerve impulse coming from it moves at a speed of 274 km/h. And the brain generates much more electrical impulses during the day than all Cell phones in the world.
The human body also contains such an amount of sulfur that would be enough to destroy all fleas on an ordinary street dog. From the fat accumulated in the average body, 7 ordinary bars of soap could be made. And there would be enough carbon to make 900 pencils.
Some statistics
It is worth continuing to list interesting short facts about the person. In general, people are unique creatures with their own characteristics. Few people know, but women's hearts beat faster than men's. And right-handed people, according to statistics, live on average 9 years longer than left-handed people. And about 2/3 of people tilt their heads to the right when kissing.
It's also interesting that we forget about 90% of our dreams. But by the end of our lives, each of us remembers about 150 trillion bits of all kinds of information.
It is known that in spring the respiratory rate is approximately 1/3 higher than in autumn time. 80% of our body's heat leaves the head, the total length of blood vessels is 100,000 kilometers, and the number of enzymes working in our body is seven hundred. And humans are the only creatures on the planet that can sleep on their backs. And to fall asleep, they need an average of 7 minutes.
All this is amazing! Some interesting short facts seem unreal. Which once again proves that people are unusual creatures, even though they seem familiar.
About children
Child - small man, but something distinguishes him from an adult. And some people prove it Interesting Facts about children - short, but no less amazing for that.
For example, the average 4-year-old child asks 450 questions per day. And at about the same age, he begins to recognize himself as a person of a particular gender and behave in accordance with his affiliation.
Few people know, but newborns have a natural reflex that is the ability to swim. After a couple of months, it disappears and is “forgotten,” so children are subsequently forced to learn it again.
By the way, finding out whether a child has developed self-awareness is quite simple. It is enough to draw a dot on his forehead. And then put it in front of the mirror. If a child begins to rub his forehead, trying to get rid of the mark, it means that he already has self-awareness and understands that there is something wrong with his appearance. Did the baby just start touching the mirror, like everything else that gets in his way? This means that his self-awareness has not yet developed.
Finally, one more interesting fact: when a child of the Navajo Indian tribe laughs for the first time in his life, the family celebrates. And the person who made the baby laugh gets a treat.
About feathered friends
Well, man may be an amazing creature, but he is not the only one of interest. Take birds, for example. Isn't it amazing that they can fly? However, few people think about this. There are other interesting facts about birds (short).
In reality, for example, there is a known case when a feathered female laid an unusual egg. 9 yolks were found inside it! But what is much more surprising is how large the eggs were laid by the apiornis, a now extinct bird from Madagascar. The weight of one was 7.5-8 kg!
The bird's body temperature is 7-8 degrees higher than that of humans. Since birds do not sweat, ¾ of the air they inhale is used for cooling. It’s also interesting that a bird’s feathers weigh more than its skeleton.
The fastest feathered creature in the world is the peregrine falcon. Its maximum speed is 320 km/h.
And few people know, but there are poisonous birds in the world. There are six species in total, mainly the Pitohu thrush flycatchers, which live in New Guinea. Their body contains the most powerful poison in the world, called batrachotoxin. But its quantity is not capable of killing a person. Maximum induce a coughing attack.
Cats and cats
These are the favorites of many of us. And therefore it is simply necessary to tell the most interesting short facts about cats.
On average, this creature spends 2/3 of the day sleeping. The lifespan of a cat is 15 years. This means that furry pets sleep for 10 years!
Due to the way the claws grow, the cat cannot climb down from the tree upside down. He can only “back away.”
Cats make about 100 different sounds. By the way, the same areas of the brain are responsible for the manifestation of emotions as in humans. And they are also fast animals! The maximum speed is 50 km/h.
By the way, does anyone know how cats appeared? There is an interesting Jewish legend: supposedly Noah prayed to the Lord to help protect the food on the ark from rats. What did God do? He made the lion sneeze. And a cat jumped out of it, subsequently defending the food.
And yet, everyone knows that in Egypt there was a whole cult of cats. But few people know how strong he was. So, for example, when a domestic cat died, its owners mourned the pet and shaved off their eyebrows as a sign of grief. Funerals and wakes were held. And the cat was embalmed. After which they were placed in a family tomb or cemetery. Not surprisingly, in 1888, more than 300,000 mummified cats were found. And this is only in cemeteries.
About our smaller brothers
It is worth noting other short interesting facts about animals - not only about birds and cats.
For example, a goldfish has a memory length of 3 seconds. A chicken lays approximately 190-200 eggs per year. And just one brood of a hammerhead shark can consist of 30-40 sharks at once.
It is also useful to know that the river called the Amazon is home to a unique A in the south-eastern part of Asia - the largest nocturnal butterfly in the world with a wingspan of 30 centimeters. It's called Attacus Atlas.
And, by the way, about the sizes. The largest living creature in the world is its body length is 33 meters, and its mass is more than 150 tons.
Cities
Megacities are also worth mentioning, telling interesting facts about everything. Short information can make you think! For example, the famous Central Park in New York is twice as large in area as the Principality of Monaco.
The smallest town in the world is Hum, located in Croatia. It is even listed in the Guinness Book of Records due to its status. In 2001, the number of residents there was 17 people.
