Here's the challenge - I'll post one fact a week. But can you sort the facts from the fibs:
- The closest living relative to the T-Rex is a chicken
- Some worms can jump
- An armadillo's armour is bulletproof
- A bat can eat up to 1,000 insects per hour
- Hippos can run faster than humans
Inside this wild and wacky book, you'll discover 50 amazing animal facts. Some will sound stupid, some will seem obvious, and some may even sound familiar. But you've got to think long and hard to work out which are real and which are complete nonsense. That's right, some are the TRUTH and others are POOP!

We Eukaryotes
About 1.5 billion years ago, the single-celled eukaryotes became the common ancestors of all multicellular plants, animals, and fungi. Fish evolved a primitive lung sac and four limbs, 350 million years ago, so they could crawl between fresh water swamps. About 250 million years ago, the ancestors of all mammals, were tiny nocturnal insectivores and, about 6 million years ago, we began walking on two legs. The most recent Ice Age (2.6 million to 12,000 years ago), severely reduced rainfall in Africa, where Homo habilis was evolving. In Homo erectus (1.9 to 0.5 million years ago), cranial capacity increased to between 850 and 1000 cm3 implying the phenomenal increase of 125,000 more neurons with each generation. Between 70 and 50 thousand years ago, Homo sapiens spread out from east Africa. Then, about 20,000 years ago, evolution made a sharp change in direction. After 250 million years, we ceased to be hunter gatherers. The Neolithic Revolution meant we could never go back. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).Complete
F*** Cancer, This One Did Us All In.
There's not a lot that can freak me out in this world. Only large animals with sharp claws, too many people touching me, bullies, hives, horror movies, sitting underneath fans or lights or anything that dangles from a ceiling, glass or wooden bridges, my mother, mosquitoes, public situations, taking a shower with nobody in the house, taking a shower with too many people in the house and crocks. Oh, and zombies. Zombies is definitely on that list. It's almost a shame too, that I have to race through a city packed full of them to find my missing family. Packed full of zombies, by the way, not crocks. (Although I don't know which situation is worse.) Now I have to not only keep my feeble body alive, but also protect (or be protected by) my two best friends in the entire world as we all try to survive in a city packed with the Dead.Complete

24 Hours In The Past (Volume 1)
I'm back with a new book. This time I'm going to show you the many amazing, frightening and sometimes downright strange species that were lost to time. There are so many creatures that once roamed planet Earth, our own little oasis in the vast expanse of the desert we call the cosmos. But what were these creatures like? What would their everyday lives have been like? Well I'm here to answer those questions. In every episode we'll take a look at a day in the life of one of these creatures. Whether it be the apex predator of its environment or a small creature at the bottom of the food chain, there's never a dull moment in the lives of these amazing creatures. Note: As time passes, there's a strong possibility that my book will becomes less accurate as we discover more and more about Earth's past. But for now my book will provide the currently most accurate information we have. Also some of the creatures that are depicted in the episodes may not have been discovered in the exact location that this story takes place in, but rather in the areas around it. This is the first volume of a series I'm making, every book/season will contain 12 episodes, after that I'll take a break before continuing this prehistoric saga. Also, all of the pictures or videos belong to their respective owners.Complete
Welcome to Jurassic World
Anya Masrani. Is any other description needed? No, but I'll give you one anyway. Despite being the daughter of one of the richest men in the world, Anya is not as spoiled and snobby as people often assume. She works at Jurassic World as a handler for all the dinosaurs, that was at least until the raptors were born. And along with the velociraptors, came Owen Grady, someone that would grow to be very important to Anya. Join her and Owen on their adventure as they fight against power-hungry people and pre-historic dinosaurs. And as they fight for each other. Will they survive? And more importantly, will their relationship survive? #1 in jurassicworld #1 in chrispratt #1 in raptors #1 in owengrady #2 in t-rex #6 in suspense #13 in jurassicpark (Jurassic World, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom & Jurassic World: Dominion) (Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or the plotline. I only own Anya and any original scenes and dialogue that I've written.) (A/N: We still suck at descriptions and that's probably not going to change. It may be my fifth fanfic but please be nice. Hope you enjoy it)Complete

The Guardian Raptor {A Jurassic world Fanfiction}
Moon wasn't meant to be alive. A biological and scientific failure so shouted by the head scientist when he hatched. Moon was a Velociraptor...A Male Raptor. He was the oldest and strongest of a pack of five Velociraptors. The other four were all successfully hatched as females unlike Moon. Arguments ensued before the final decision of having Moon placed in his own pen right next to the females was decided. When Owen, The Velociraptor Trainer, came in to train Moon, he wouldn't have it. After a long while, Moon decided to just deal with it. When the Indominus Rex broke free, Moon stood to protect the one that had protected him so many times. And so, this is the story of how Moon protected his own saviour and his female's family. Being a biological and scientific failure just became a whole more handy. {Jurassic World story and characters each belong to their respective creators. Only Moon belongs to me}Complete
