Fact Hunters: Dogs, Stonehenge & F1

William Edwards
Did you know that dogs have stronger teeth than cats & more teeth than cats? However cats have sharper teeth.

Ostrich eggs are the largest of all eggs, the yolk is the largest single cell that exists today on our planet, though they are actually the smallest eggs relative to the size of the bird.

Martin Wicher 
Did you know that all living organisms start as a single cell and that the vast majority of living organisms keep growing to the day they die?

Amazingly Stonehenge was built in phases from about 3100 B.C. to 1600 B.C. That is more than 5,000 years ago—during the Stone Age, long before the wheel was invented! We know this because scientists have used carbon dating to analyze the age of animal bones buried at the site.

Incredibly there were over 2,000 names of gods in Ancient Egypt. Some images of Ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses show them with a human body and the head of a bird or an animal. Animals were chosen to represent the powers of the god.

F1 teams can change tyres quickly… very quickly! At the start of 2012 Ferrari had it down to 2.6s in a race. McLaren broke that time with a 2.31s stop in late 2012 then Red Bull took it right down to 2.05s at the race in Malaysia this year.
