Caffeine is a natural pesticide.
Caffeine—which is found in tea leaves, guarana berries, kola nuts, and, of course, coffee beans—acts as a natural pesticide.

It overloads the nervous systems of insects that try to eat the plants containing caffeine, paralyzing and even killing them before they can do too much damage. It affects humans' central nervous systems, too, but for us, it merely acts as a stimulant.

More than 200 viruses can result in a cold.
There are more than 200 different viruses that can cause symptoms of the common cold. These upper respiratory infections are usually due to a rhinovirus, but corona viruses, adenoviruses, and enteroviruses can all result in the common cold, as well.The average adult gets two to four colds a year, which isn't too bad considering all the different viruses your body has to fight off to maintain that statistic. Thanks, Mother Nature.

Armadillos are bulletproof
There have been numerous reports that if you shoot an armadillo, the bullet will ricochet off the animal's armor and instead, hit the shooter.

When a man in Texas pulled out his .38 revolver and fired three shots at an armadillo, the bullet wound up hitting the man in the face, resulting in him needing to have his jaw wired shut. Long story short, please don't try to test this one at home.

The Low's pitcher-plant is a toilet and food source all in one.
You've probably heard of carnivorous plants like the Venus flytrap, but the Nepenthes lowii (or the Low's pitcher-plant) has moved away from eating animals, to instead feasting on what they leave behind.

The plant secretes a white, sugary nectar that both birds and shrews love. But in order to access it, they must perch their rear ends over the mouth of the Low's pitcher-plant. "Basically it's a toilet complete with a feeding station," said one researcher at Royal Roads University in British Columbia.

Slow lorises are the only venomous primate.
Found only in Southeast Asia, the slow loris is a small, monkey-like creature that you might recognize for its big round eyes.

They also have the distinction of being the only primate in the animal kingdom with a venomous bite. They lick a toxin-producing gland under their arm before deterring predators with their teeth. In humans, this venom provokes an allergic reaction that usually results in a painful swelling, though there is at least one report of a human dying of anaphylaxis from a slow loris bite.

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
Southwest Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni is the largest salt flat in the world, and is about as surreal as landscapes come. When dry, the flat is a sheet of blindingly white salt tiles. During the wet season, the shallow lake mirrors the sky, creating a dreamy illusion of infinity.
