🚨 Ghostly “Baby Dragons” Spotted Above Ground! 🐉 For centuries, the olm — a pale, cave-dwelling salamander nicknamed “baby dragon” — was thought to live its entire life in underground darkness. But scientists in northern Italy just made a wild discovery: these elusive creatures are emerging into the light. 🌞 🔍 Olms were spotted in 15 surface springs, even during daylight — a hostile environment for such specialized cave animals. One larval olm was even found out in the open, raising questions about possible surface breeding! 🪱 Even weirder? They’re snacking on surface earthworms. Researchers say these trips aren’t accidents — they’re feeding, and thriving. This eerie evolution defies everything we thought we knew about Europe’s most mysterious amphibian. The shadows are shifting… #funfactpart1🤔

💡Did you know? 🎂If you get a group of 23 people together, there's a 50% chance two people will have the same birthday. In a room of 75, there's a 99.9% chance at least two people will have the same birthday. #funfactpart1 🤔

💡Did you know? 😂Laughing came before language. How do we know? Some researchers tickled baby apes, which, beyond being adorable, showed that they share the same structure as ours and likely arose in our common ancestors millions of years ago. Language came about much later. #funfactpart1 🤔

💡Did you know? 🌊🎚️‘Sea level’ isn’t actually level. As the strength of the force generated by the Earth’s spin is strongest at the equator, the average sea level bulges outward there, putting it further from the centre of the Earth than at the poles. Differences in the strength of the Earth’s gravity at different points also cause variation. #funfactpart1 🤔

💡Did you know? 🦩Flamingoes aren’t born pink. They actually come into the world with grey/white feathers and only develop a pinkish hue after starting a diet of brine shrimp and blue-green algae. #funfactpart1 🤔

💡Did you know? 🐈Most ginger cats are male♂️. There are roughly three ginger male cats to one ginger female. This is because the ginger gene is found on the X chromosome, meaning female cats would require two copies of the gene to become ginger whilst males only need one. #funfactpart1🤔
