Glass is neither a liquid nor a solid.
Glass is an amorphous solid that doesn't have the rigid structure of a true solid, nor is it a supercooled liquid, as many have long believed. It's somewhere in between the two. Mind.Blown.

Greenland sharks don't reach puberty until they're 150 years old.
The longest-living vertebrate animal on the planet is the Greenland shark. At 21 feet long and 2,200 pounds, it's also one of the world's largest predators.

In 2016, when scientists found a method of determining age by examining the proteins in the lens of the sharks' eyes, they realized their specimen lived to be between 300 and 500 years old. Perhaps because they live such a long time, Greenland sharks grow very slowly: only about a centimeter a year. On top of that, they don't reach sexual maturity until they're 150 years old.

One of the elephant's closest living relatives weighs 10 pounds.
The fuzzy rock hyrax is only found in certain parts of Africa and the Middle East. Though it may look somewhat unremarkable, it has a pretty incredible relative: the elephant. You have to look pretty closely to see the similarities between these 10 pound creatures and a 10,000 pound elephant. But the rock hyrax does have long front teeth that are distinctly tusk-like.

The elephant and the hyrax share another relative in the manatee. We'd totally watch a family reunion among these three species.

Your tongue is made up of eight muscles.
The tongue is made up of eight muscles: four that anchor it to the head and neck, and four that intertwine to make up a muscular hydrostat, like an elephant's trunk. While it may not be the strongest muscle in the body—an honor that would go to the heart, the jaw muscles, or even the gluteus maximus, depending on how you measure strength—that doesn't make the tongue any less remarkable.

Black holes aren't actually black.
At the heart of a black hole is something called a gravitational singularity, which is a mass so dense that it creates gravity too strong for even light to escape, i.e. the "black" part of black hole.

However, quantum physics actually predicts that black holes, particularly small ones, do emit some observable radiation, including visible light. This is called Hawking radiation, after astrophysicist Dr. Stephen Hawking, and it slowly drains the black holes of their mass and energy.

There's a fungus that bleeds.Found all across the United States, particularly in the Pacific Northwest, the mushroom Hydnellum peckii has a pretty unmistakable appearance, particularly when it's young.

This fungus exudes a thick, dark red sap across a white cap, earning it numerous nicknames, from "strawberries and cream," to "devil's tooth," to "bleeding tooth fungus." Fortunately, neither the fungus nor the sap are poisonous, but they're both said to be inedibly bitter. So we suggest staying away.
