Owls do not have eye balls. They have eye tubes which are fixed in place. The only way to move them is for the owl to move their head.

The fastest fish in the sea is the swordfish and can reach up to speeds of 108kph (68mph, 59knots)

BTW . . . . that's only 2 mph slower than the fastest land animal - the cheetah, which can run at 70 mph.

All the planets in our solar system could fit inside Jupiter

Yes - Pluto is no longer a planet. I just liked the photo. Obviously the planets are not to scale.

The primary reason for growing rice in flooded paddies is to drown the weeds surrounding the young seedlings (rice can grow in well drained areas)
