Male Puppies Let Female Puppies Win Play Fights

Chivalry isn't dead, at least not in the canine world. Male puppies will pretend to be more vulnerable and allow female puppies to win in an effort to keep the game going longer, so they can get closer to the female. And yes, same-sex play has been studied: when female puppies play with only female puppies, or male puppies play with only male puppies, everyone plays to win. It's only in male-female "fights" that a pup purposefully throws the match.

The planet's biggest waterfall is in the ocean.

The tallest waterfall you're going to see on land is Angel Falls in Venezuela (above), which has a drop of over 3,200 feet. But that's nothing compared to the Denmark Strait Cataract, which is an underwater waterfall in between Greenland and Iceland formed by the temperature difference in the water on either side of the strait. When the cold water from the east hits the warmer water from the west, it flows underneath the warm water, with a drop of 11,500 feet. According to the National Ocean Service, the flow rate of the waterfall is more than 123 million cubic feet per second, which is 50,000 times that of Niagara Falls.

The biggest ocean waves are beneath its surface.

The biggest ocean waves are not the ones that you can see from the shoreline. As physical oceanographer Kim Martini told Deep Sea News, the largest waves that occur in the ocean are called internal waves, which take place between two fluids with two different densities. As these internal waves travel—for thousands of miles, no less—they can grow to be 650 feet tall.

Hippos have the largest mouths of any animal on land.

Hippos might seem like jovial creatures, but you don't want to mess with them. According to Guinness World Records, the African animal can open its jaws almost a full 180 degrees—making for an average gape of about four feet. And oh yeah, their teeth typically measure over two feet long. Yikes!
