    I have got some facts to share with you

    Did you know......... some interesting facts


    A zebra is white with black stripes.


    All the planets in our solar system rotate anticlockwise, except Venus. It is the only planet that rotates clockwise.




    Hummingbirds are the only animal that can also fly backwards.


    Insects do not make noises with their voices. The noise of bees, mosquitoes and other buzzing insects is caused by rapidly moving their wings.


    The cockroach is the fastest animal on 6 legs covering a meter a second.


    The word "listen" contains the same letters as the word "silent".


    The only 2 animals that can see behind itself without turning it's head are the rabbit and the parrot.


    A 'jiffy' is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.

    One of the most amazing facts.

    You can not fold any piece of paper to clean half, regardless of it's thickness and size, more than 7 times with your bare hands.
