Random Fun Facts

Hi All Smiley Very Happy

 

I thought I would create a bit of a good vibes distraction thread. So if anybody has a random fun fact they'd like to share they can post it here!   @redhead @LeoTheLion @TommyChong420 @kalidiana @Bree_xox

 

Here's mine to get things started:

 

Hippo's have 'magic' red sweat that acts as their very own sunscreen!
