1.The tongues of blue whales can be as heavy as elephants. While their hearts only need to beat once every ten seconds, they can weigh roughly a tonne.
2.The biggest waterfall in the world is submerged. Waterfalls do indeed exist beneath the sea. The Nordic Sea's cold water, which is denser than the Irminger Sea's warm water in the Denmark Strait, falls over two miles below the surface at a rate of 123 million cubic feet per second.
3.The Moon has deeper shadows. Our shadows aren't excessively dark because the atmosphere on Earth scatters more sunlight.

To attach a cat to electricity, Princeton researchers Ernest Wever and Charles Bray removed the cat's skull and the majority of its brain.
