Mars has the solar system’s biggest volcano

Mars
Olympus Mons (Latin for Mount Olympus) is a very large shield volcano on the planet Mars. Credits : universe today.com

At 13.6 miles high and 370 miles wide, Olympus Mons on Mars’ western hemisphere is the largest volcano in our solar system.

It’s unknown whether this volcano is still active. But what we do know is that Olympus Mons was able to grow so big because Mars, unlike Earth, has no shifting tectonic plates, so the mountain simply sits over a hot spot that gives it a constant supply of lava.

Happy guinea pigs pop like popcorn

Guinea pigs
The guinea pig or domestic guinea pig (Cavia porcellus), also known as cavy or domestic cavy, is a species of rodent belonging to the family Caviidae and the genus Cavia. Credits : livescience.com

When a guinea pig, particularly a baby guinea pig, gets excited, it just can’t hold that feeling in. It pushes off from all four feet and hops straight up in the air, looking like a kernel of popcorn in a microwave.

Guinea pigs aren’t the only animals that popcorn, as this behavior is called. Gazelles will do something similar to ward off predators, and even horses have been known to popcorn on occasion.

Humans eat only 200 types of plants

Plants
There are over 20,000 species of edible plants in the world yet fewer than 20 species now provide 90% of our food. However, there are hundreds of less well known edible plants from all around the world which are both delicious and nutritious. Credits : phys.org

Scientists estimate that there are about 400,000 different species of plants on Earth. It’s much harder to estimate how many of them are edible, but figures range from 80,000 to a whopping 300,000.

But, in all the cultures across the world combined, we eat only 200 of those edible plants. Amazingly, about 50 percent of the plant calories we do eat come from just three species: rice, wheat, and maize (corn).

Your femur is stronger than concrete

Your femur, which is your thigh bone, is the largest and strongest bone in your body. Pound for pound, a human femur can withstand four times as much pressure as the same amount of concrete because of the bone’s structure and density. Again, this is not something worth trying at home.

Sloths only poop once a week

Sloths
Sloths are a group of arboreal Neotropical xenathran mammals, constituting the suborder Folivora. Noted for slowness of movement. Credits : wwf.com

Everything about sloths is slow, including their metabolisms. The average adult sloth poops once every five to seven days, and when it does, it can expel one-third of its own body weight.

Unfortunately, these tree dwellers have to come down to the ground in order to defecate, which saps their energy and leaves them vulnerable to predators. About half of all sloth deaths occur during their once-a-week defecation.

Black holes aren’t actually black

Black holes
A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing—no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light can escape from it. Credits : astronomy.com

At the heart of a black hole is something called a gravitational singularity, which is a mass so dense that it creates gravity too strong for even light to escape, i.e. the “black” part of black hole.

However, quantum physics actually predicts that black holes, particularly small ones, do emit some observable radiation, including visible light. This is called Hawking radiation, after astrophysicist Dr. Stephen Hawking, and it slowly drains the black holes of their mass and energy.
