Who doesn't love a good fun fact? This is super easy and a great way to learn useless stuff! Just post an interesting truth that most people won't already know. If you want to reply to someone's fact, that's fine. Just don't forget to post your own too.
Did you know that the killer whale, whose proper name is the orca, is actually the largest species of dolphin? It's true! Suborder Odontoceti: toothed whales, family Delphinidae: oceanic dolphins, genus Orcinus, species orca. Their original name, whale killers, given because pods were observed hunting whales, was accidentally reversed in translation to English.
