As The Ozark Trading Post, we believe that publishing a fun fact every day can help our readers start their day with a smile, spark their curiosity, and provide a break from the day-to-day grind. It can also foster a sense of community, as readers can share the fun fact with friends and family or use it as a conversation starter.
- Bananas are berries, while strawberries are not. In botanical terms, a berry is a fruit produced from the ovary of a single flower with seeds embedded in the flesh. Bananas fit this definition, but strawberries do not.
- The world’s largest desert is not the Sahara, but Antarctica. A desert is defined by its low precipitation levels, and Antarctica is the driest and windiest continent on Earth.
- There is a species of jellyfish known as Turritopsis dohrnii, or the “immortal jellyfish,” which is capable of reverting back to its juvenile form after reaching maturity. This process can theoretically go on indefinitely, making them biologically immortal.
- The Earth’s atmosphere is not evenly distributed. It is denser at sea level and becomes thinner at higher altitudes. In fact, about 50% of the Earth’s atmosphere is located within the first 5.6 kilometers (3.5 miles) above sea level.
- Spiders are not insects; they belong to a different class of arthropods called Arachnida. While both insects and spiders have six legs, spiders have two main body parts (cephalothorax and abdomen), while insects have three (head, thorax, and abdomen).
