Did you know every year the Americas are drifting 2cm away from Europe and Africa?

Australia is also steadily moving north and will eventually collide with Indonesia and the rest of Asia.

Give me more random facts!

I looked into it and it looks like it was just a myth. I thought it was true because a teacher of mine mentioned a actor with purple eyes and I thought I remembered looking up that actor and confirming it. Sorry!

Here's some legit facts, though:

Rodents' teeth continuously grow.

Caecilians, a type of amphibian, feed their young with their skin which regenerates.

Rabbits and hares aren't actually rodents; they're lagomorphs.

Actually, most people with "purple" eyes (particularly those with some degree of albinism) have pale blue eyes where the blood vessels are visible behind the iris. They also are prone to vision problems and light sensitivity.

Here's another geography one- Southern California will never break off into the middle of the Pacific Ocean! It's moving north, not west. One day, billions of years from now, LA and San Francisco will be next to each other (and the traffic will really suck).

Part of California and Mexico is moving northward and will eventually be up with Canada. I think they just want the water.

Yes, but- water. I think they're doing it for the water. Will they get water?

Horses don't digest a majority of the nutrients in their food

they also cannot throw up

There's a proverb in German. It says "Man hat schon Pferde kotzen sehen" - which basically translates into "People have seen horses throw up". It's used when you want to say that you can never know if something might happen, no matter how unlikely it seems.

Male giraffes also drink a female's pee to see if she's ready to mate. He gets her to pee by smacking her butt with his head.

I never wanted to know this so I share the pain with you.

And when they're born, dropping six feet to the ground is what snaps the umbilical cord and gets them breathing.
