Pigeons are highly intelligent, domesticated birds capable of recognizing themselves in mirrors and distinguishing between art styles. Originating 20,000 years ago, they can fly up to 90 mph, navigate using Earth's magnetic field, and produce "crop milk" to feed their young. They are also known to have saved lives during wars by carrying messages

Drinking alcohol isn't just a human trait - animals enjoy getting drunk too. Chimpanzees are known to raid stocks of palm wine brewed by villagers and feral vervet monkeys in the Caribbean are famous for stealing alcoholic drinks from bars.But it's not just primates. The (aptly named) bohemian waxwing may gorge on so many fermented rowan berries in winter that it’s unable to fly or even walk in a straight line.
However, one of the keenest mammalian boozers is a tiny Malaysian tree shrew, whose nectar diet is 3.8 per cent alcohol by volume, akin to drinking beer all day.

Tornadoes can develop over water just as well as they can over land. When they do, they’re called “waterspouts,” and they suck up large amounts of lake or sea water—as well as whatever’s swimming in that water. If the waterspout travels on to the land and the winds decrease, there’s nowhere for those fish to go but down. As far as we know, there’s no tornado powerful enough to pick up sharks, but a fish-nado is entirely possible.

Mount Everest is only the tallest mountain by altitude, at 29,031.69 feet (8,848.86 m) above sea level. If you measure Mauna Kea, an inactive volcano in Hawaii, from base to peak, it's actually taller, at 33,497 feet (10,211 m) in altitude

Fact-#7
In any group of 23 people, two people will share a birthday, according to the maths. To find the probability of everyone in the group having a unique birthday, multiply all 23 probabilities together, giving 0.493. So the probability of a shared birthday is 1 - 0.493 = 0.507, or 50.7 per cent.

As of early 2026, New Zealand continues to have more sheep than people, though the margin has declined significantly from its historic peak.
Current Sheep Population: Approximately 23.6 million sheep (as of June 2024 figures).

Fact-#9
The triple point of water is the unique temperature and pressure at which water exists simultaneously as a solid (ice), liquid, and gas (vapor) in stable equilibrium. This point occurs at exactly 0.01°C(273.16 K) and a partial pressure of 611.657 pascals(0.00603659 atm)
At this condition, water can boil and freeze at the same time.

Point Nemo is the "oceanic pole of inaccessibility," the point in the South Pacific Ocean farthest from any land, located ~2,688 km (1,450 nmi) from the nearest shores. Known as a "space cemetery," its extreme isolation makes it the designated, safe crash site for hundreds of retired, de-orbited spacecraft

Hippos are much faster than humans on land. While the average human runs at about 13 km/h (8 mph), hippos can reach speeds of up to 30–50 km/h (19–30 mph) in short bursts. Despite their size, they can easily outrun a human, making them highly dangerous creatures.
