The world is truly amazing: A collection of 100 unexpected and littleknown facts.
1. Do you have a habit of drinking eight glasses of water a day? When drinking water from a mineral water bottle, the pursing of your lips can increase wrinkles around your mouth.
2. Fish get thirsty! Thirst is caused by an imbalance of electrolytes in the fish's body, resulting in a high concentration of solutes.
3. Healthy people fart about 15 times a day, more often while sleeping. There is no significant difference in the frequency of farting between age and gender. Only 1% of the gas in farts smells bad. In addition, sociological surveys have found that "men usually find farting interesting, while women find it disgusting."
4. When a dog is happy, it wags its tail to the right; when it is sad, it wags it to the left.
5. The baby koala smells like syrup.
6. Fish have a sense of smell that is 1200 times more sensitive than humans. The nostrils are the openings of olfactory receptors. Each nasal cavity has two openings: the front opening is called the inlet opening, and the back opening is called the outlet opening. When a fish swims, water flows in through the inlet opening and then out through the outlet opening. In this way, the fish can smell substances with odors in the water.
7. White chocolate is not considered chocolate because it does not contain cocoa solids or cocoa liquor. However, white chocolate does contain cocoa beans, primarily cocoa butter.

41. Squirrels recognize each other through their sense of smell. Squirrels always hide the food they find in one place, but they never rely on memory to find the food storage location; they rely on their sense of smell. They treat their own kind the same way. When they first meet another squirrel, they rely on their sense of smell to identify it, sniffing very closely, almost like kissing. The second time they encounter the same squirrel, they know who it is just by smelling its scent.
42. Goats have a near 360-degree field of vision. Most animals, including humans, have round pupils, but the pupils of animals such as goats, toads, and octopuses are horizontal. This expands their field of vision above the horizon, allowing them to better spot predators. Goats have a near 360-degree field of vision.
43. Koala fingerprints are almost identical to human fingerprints. Their fingerprints are so similar to human fingerprints that they are difficult to distinguish even with a high-resolution microscope. This animal is the koala.
44. The antlers of a deer are actually sentient; they can sense even a fly landing on them.

48. The iron in the human body can be used to make a nail that is about 4 centimeters long.
49. When a person dies, the last thing they lose is their hearing. The transmission of smell and taste relies on enzyme cascade reactions. In this series of reactions, a constant temperature is required. When a person dies, their body temperature drops sharply, and such reactions do not proceed completely, thus the senses of taste and smell are lost.
50. Hearing is transmitted through hair cells in the cochlear fluid, which convert sound signals into electrical signals and then transmit them to the brain, so it eventually disappears.
