    Giraffes can go without water longer than a camel

    The first bullet proof vest and windshield wiper blades were both invented by a women.

    Because sponges move only a couple millimetres each day, they have a unique method for eating. Using their unique design, they eat by filtering water through their pore cells and digesting water and food with their collar cells. Water escapes out of the sponge from a top hole coined the 'osculum'.
