People Born In Autumn Likely To Live Longer
Now this is a very strange fact indeed – but, deep breath taken, according to the Journal of Aging Research, if you are born in the second half of the year, particularly autumn, then your chances of living to 100 years are greater than if you were born in the first part of the year! We are not convinced but you can read the study for yourself here: Journal of Aging Research
Super Snake Fact
In the Quizmondo office we all thought that all snakes lay eggs, at least that is what we all learned at school right?
If like us you thought this to be the case then you are wrong!
Some snakes including Rattlesnakes and Boas give birth to live babies!
Hands up if that surprised you.
Don't Break The Guinea Pig Law!
This might sound completely bizarre or a bit like the fake news you find on Facebook, but it is in fact true.
If you happen to live in Switzerland and you only own one Guinea Pig then you are breaking the law.
As Guinea Pigs are social a species, it is considered cruel to keep just one as they thrive on interaction with each other. Switzerland have passed a lot of laws to protect pets and animals, which is a good thing. The Guinea Pig law is a very real thing. Maybe more governments should have laws in place to protect pets and force owners to complete a test before they can own one, what do you think?
