1.Scotland chose the unicorn as its national animal.
In Celtic mythology, the fictional creature is connected with both chivalry and dominance as well as purity and innocence.
2.Switzerland prohibits the ownership of just one guinea pig.
Since guinea pigs are such social creatures, one guinea pig would get lonely so having just one is considered animal abuse in Switzerland.
3.Sloths can hold their breath longer than dolphins.
Dolphins need to come up for air every 10 minutes, but by slowing their heart rate, sloths can actually hold their breath for 40 minutes!
4.Supermarket apples can be a year old.
Are those apples you just bought actually a year old? Maybe! Farmers often pick apples in the fall, cover them in wax, hot-air dry them, and then put them in cold storage. This keeps them edible and ready to sell for 6 to 12 months!
