00:00 Intro
00:18 Number 10. Tornadoes Can Cause "Fish Rain."
When tornadoes develop over water, they are called "waterspouts". They suck up large amounts of water—as well as whatever's swimming in that water. If the waterspout travels on to land, and the wind decrease, there's nowhere for those fish to go but down, causing “Fish Rain”.
00:41 Number 9. Showers Spark Creativity.
According to a study published in the Journal for Psychological Science, researchers gave volunteers creativity problems to solve followed by a period of rest. During that period, some were assigned demanding tasks, while others did simpler tasks that allowed their minds to wander (just like a shower does). Those doing the simpler tasks during the resting time were more likely to solve the original creativity problems.
01:12 Number 8. Sea Lions Can Dance to a Beat.
There are only two mammals on Earth with the proven ability to move their bodies in time with an external beat: humans and sea lions. When researchers at the University of Santa Cruz rescued a stranded sea lion, they found that she was very smart, and she was even able to learn how to dance.
01:40 Number 7. Bee Hummingbirds Get Mistaken for Insects.
Hummingbirds are known for being small creatures, but Bee Hummingbirds are even smaller. They're actually the smallest bird in the world. They are so minuscule that they are sometimes mistaken for insects, according to the National Audobon Society. The birds are just 5.7 centimeters long and weigh 1.6 grams.
02:06 Number 6. Water Makes Different Pouring Sounds Depending on Its Temperature.
If you listen very closely, hot water and cold-water sound slightly different when being poured. The heat changes the thickness, or viscosity, of the water, which changes the pitch of the sound it makes when it's poured. Cold water is thicker and therefore makes a slightly higher-pitched sound.
02:36 Number 5. You Have A Nail in Your Body.
Or, at least, the components of one. Iron helps your red blood cells carry oxygen, which is necessary for producing energy throughout the body. That's why an iron deficiency can present itself with feelings of exhaustion. Amazingly, a healthy adult has about three grams of iron, if it were pulled out and melted down, it could form a nail up to 7.6 cm long.
03:06 Number 4. 8.7 Million Species on Earth.
Humans Are Just One of The Estimated 8.7 Million Species on Earth. According to a study conducted and published in the journal PLoS Biology. It estimated that "the various forms of life on the planet included 7.8 million species of animals, 298,000 species of plants, 611,000 species of mushroom
