Did you know flamingos are not born pink? Young flamingos flaunt grey/white colour feathers and only develop their pinkish hue after delving into a diet of first their mother's crop milk, and then brine shrimp and blue-green algae – food that would likely kill other animals. Thanks to their specialized metabolism, the birds are able to process these harmful chemicals in the liver, breaking them down into functional components and pigments. It's these pigments that eventually stain a flamingo's feathers – and that's not all. Their skin, mucous membranes, egg yolks and even fat are stained pink and similar colours like orange.

Myth: Opossums sleep hanging by their tails. You've probably seen cartoons—maybe even photos—of opossums lounging upside-down from their tails. While opossum tails are strong enough to grasp branches and even hold the animals' weight for a short period, adults are too heavy for their tails to support them for long, so they can't stay like that while sleeping

Myth: Water conducts electricity. While this is a science myth, it doesn't mean you should bring your toaster in the bath with you. The reason you shouldn't swim in a lightning storm doesn't have to do with the water itself. Pure water is actually an insulator, which means it doesn't conduct electricity. The danger comes from the minerals and chemicals in it, which are made up of electrically charged ions. While pure water is theoretically safe around electricity, it's nearly impossible to find in the real world because even distilled water has ions

Strawberries aren't berries. Neither are raspberries and blackberries, according to botanists. True berries stem from one single-ovary flower and have two or more seeds. Strawberries don't fit that bill, but bananas, kiwis, and watermelon do

Twice a year, a hatch in a busy Lisbon street opens to reveal steps leading to one of the Portuguese capital's most ancient sites: a 2,000-year-old site known as the Roman Galleries. Dating back to the first century AD, the "cryptoportico" subterranean maze of tunnels and passageways was built by the Romans, who occupied the city then known as Olissipo beginning around 200 BC. The city remained under Roman control for several centuries. It opens up for only a few days in April and September each year. The space is usually flooded due to an aquifer running beneath the city. The water, which is essential for its preservation, must be pumped out to allow access. Tickets to visit the galleries usually sell out within 15 minutes.

Many toothpaste companies advertise activated charcoal toothpastes. Activated charcoal is a fine powder created by heating carbon-rich materials like wood at extremely high temperatures. Many believe that charcoal toothpaste is excellent for teeth-whitening and can even strengthen the teeth. Dentists, on the other hand, advise us to avoid charcoal toothpaste because there is no scientific evidence to support these claims. Charcoal can weaken and remove tooth enamel, causing gum recession.
