Did We Know This? Probably Not!

Every day, many times a day, we find out interesting info that we didn't know.  Humbling, but very interesting.  Any fiends,  children or grandchildren, nieces, nephews or younger friends you know may also enjoy adding the info on killer whales and wolves to their knowledge base. 

1.      What do the women of the world have in common with Pilot Whales and Killer Whales?  Hint:  You might not want any men you know to consider this question!

The answer?  All three go through menopause.  Interestingly, the whales stop having baby whales while in their 30's or 40's. They then "live to their nineties and help raise their 'grandchildren'."  We don't usually think of killer whales as doting grandmas.  (MORE, Feb. , 2014, 17).

2.   In a few weeks, a new documentary will be airing on TV that investigates the fear we humans have of wolves.

  Many of us might know that already.  But do any of us know the way that wolves can change rivers?
