2) There are fish in the Amazon Rainforest called anableps whose eyes are divided into two parts so that they can see above and below the water at the same time.
3) Honey bees have to fly around 88,500 Km to make just under ½ Kg of honey.
4) Swifts sleep in the air. They can shut down just half of their brain so they can sleep without hitting the ground.
