Did You Know ?



I haven't published a Did You Know post for a while so thought let's have one today!

Here are seven facts ... I've done seven because we are in October and there are seven letters that make up this months name ... well it's a good enough reason 😃

1. The ten highest mountain summits in the United States are all located in Alaska.

2. There are over 6,000 known species of grass.

3. At birth, a baby panda is smaller than a mouse.

4. Octopuses and squids have beaks. The beak is made of keratin – the same material that a bird’s beak and our fingernails are made of.

5. Standing around burns calories. On average, a 150-pound person burns 114 calories per hour while standing and doing nothing.

6. It’s not just humans who are right or left-handed. Most female cats prefer using their right paw, and males are more likely to be left-pawed.

7. Lettuce is a member of the sunflower family.

I hope you enjoyed these seven facts, did you know any of them?
