Lake Natron is a blood red salt lake in Tanzania that is so salty, hot and alkaline (with a pH above 12), that any animal that dies in or near it is calcified, or turned into a salt statue.

Useless Facts, Badly Drawn #144: The Falkland Islands Penguin Reserve.

The world's largest nature reserve for penguins was created unintentionally.
The Falkland Islands were heavily land-mined in the Falklands War, making the beaches off-limits to humans and large predators. But penguins are not heavy enough to trigger the land mines, so the beaches became a safe haven for thousands of them.

Cho Chabudai Gaeshi (translated
"Super Dinner Table Flipping") was a popular Japanese arcade game by Taito in 2009, where you flip a physical table in a social setting to score points. Scenarios include: A father arguing with his family; an angry bride at her wedding; and a frustrated office worker. Flipping the table hard enough results in various objects (like the wedding cake) being hurled into the air and crashing to the floor or through a window, scoring more points.

Useless Facts, Badly Drawn #448: The Unknown Olympian.

.

#olympics #history #sports #1900 #webcomics #comics #facts #strangebuttrue #mysteries #weirdfacts #funfacts #uselessfacts #uselessfactsbadlydrawn

The only unknown Olympic gold winner in history was an 8 to 10-year old French boy recruited at the last-minute by the Dutch rowing team to replace their coxswain at the 1900 Olympics. After they won, the boy ran off and was never identified- making him the only unknown Olympic gold winner, as well as the youngest Olympian in history. To this day, no one knows who he really was.

Useless Facts, Badly Drawn #442: Archerfish.

.

#archerfish #tropicalfish #fish #aquariumfish #aquaria #animaltooluse #snipers #evolution #strangebuttrue #didyouknow #funfacts #facts #webcomic #comics #uselessfacts #uselessfactsbadlydrawn

Archerfish are small tropical fish that spit jets of water to knock insects as high as 10 feet above the surface so they can eat them. Their mouths are described by biologists as being like tiny guns, and their aim is highly accurate, their brains taking refraction through the water surface into account when targeting prey, and is considered an example of animals using tools. Juveniles hunt in groups to learn how to aim better, but adults almost never miss the first shot. They're also a popular, though challenging, aquarium pet.
