Did you know....?

[Soubriquet]

That one of the main predators of the moose....is the orca?

That’s right. Moose dive deep down to get to the vegetation on the floor...and then get eaten by a killer whale

What’s your amazing fact?

yes I know I’m going to get pineapples don’t grow on trees and baby vests roll down etc etc

[FlibbertyGiblets]

Whaaaat?

[SoupDragon]

On your fuel gauge is a little arrow telling you which side your filler cap is on






🤣🤣😂🤣

[dudsville]

That's blown my mind. I didn't know that!

[MineMineADouble]

Figs are not suitable for vegetarians!

DH told me this recently as we've got a fig tree in the garden of our new house and he'd been doing some Googling

[SoupDragon]

Seriously though, I did not know moose were at risk from killer whales.

[GiveMyHeadPeaceffs]

Mind. Blown. Poor moose...

[AriettyHomily]

What's wrong with figs?!?

[BarbaraofSeville]

I didn't know about the moose but as a scuba diver I can relate to this cartoon.

I did see a cormorant several metres under water once, when it dived down to catch a fish. That was pretty cool.

@AriettyHomily

What's wrong with figs?!?

Technically, they contain dissolved dead wasp due to the fertilisation process.

[Ernieshere]

My petrol picture is not on the correct side

[Soubriquet]

Yes, figs have a female fig wasp inside that die causes causes the fig to ripen.

This always comes up and it totally depends on your car, it's not a universal “fact”

Wow. Learnt two things today!!

[Soubriquet]

That cartoon always makes me laugh

I think I would be pretty freaked out to be scuba diving and suddenly seeing an orca eating a moose

[SoupDragon]

🤦🏻‍♀️

That would be why I added the laughing emojis.

[TheOrchidKiller]

I'm just picturing a moose in scuba gear, with the goggles strapped to its antlers

Except this 'fact' isn't really true. Orca have been known to very occasionally take a swimming or grazing moose but they certainly aren't one of their main predators.

Moose do however sometimes graze underwater and are adept at diving which is pretty cool

[ItsJustTheOneSwanActually]

I did not know that OP
And I live in Canada (not near the sea tho)

[ItsJustTheOneSwanActually]

Round here cars and guns kill the moose

[SoupDragon]

I thought that meant you were pleased that you knew a fact

Oh no... I know loads of useless shit!

For example, black plastic can't be recycled simply because the sorting machines can't see it. The sorting machines use a beam of light which is just absorbed by the black and it falls through the machine and ends up in landfill.

[dudsville]

So, inside each and every fig is a dissolved wasp? How have wasps not evolved to avoid this? How do fig groves not kill off native populations of wasps to extinction? I'm off to Google "have I yet again succumbed to another urban myth?".
