I’m so glad you are enjoying Fun Facts. I learn something new each week, even if it’s weird.
The most common wild bird in the world isn’t the sparrow or blue jay—it’s the red-billed quelea, which live in Africa and have an estimated population of 1.5 billion. (audubon.org)
The heart of the blue whale, the largest animal on earth, is five feet long and weighs 400 pounds. The whale in total weighs 40,000 pounds. (nationalgeographic.com)
For comparison, an elephant’s heart weighs around 30 pounds. And a human heart? A mere 10 ounces.
