Here's a bit of useless trivia for you.

Antechinus or the marsupial mouse mates itself to death. Every breeding season all the males go into a mating frenzy for about 1 week. Come (tehehe) the end of it all the males die off from exhaustion. The females have young and the males of that brood replace the last. What a way to go!

Only recently, scientists studying the Pacific Ocean identified a lost continent, since named Zealandia. The main bits still sticking up above water are New Zealand and New Caledonia. It was shown that even the parts still submerged had once been above the ocean, long enough to weather. So, that makes 8 continents if I added correctly.
Also, the Pacific Ocean is expanding as the continents drift back into another huge land mass (still many millions of years in the future!) A recent BP photo of the Ocean showed only once significant landmass - New Zealand. This is a nice change as NZ is often missed off "whole world" maps! Kia ora to all my fellow Kiwis! Arohanui.

My undergrad degree is in Japanese, and I learned this tidbit in a history class:
After the atom bomb, people saw what they called "pink horses." It wasn't a hallucination. The horses' fur and skin melted off, and their nerve endings went with it. The horses couldn't feel pain as they became dehydrated and died from the burns.
Have a good day!

Unicorns were real. They looked like humongous shaggy rhino/pony/flying bison (AtLA) hybrids. And they were glorious and if we bring back any extinct species it should be them and I will live out my childhood misunderstood horse-girl fantasies and befriend one and ride it everywhere. Fact.
