Re: That's amazing ! Post incredible facts here.
I just thought it was odd that an animal that can eat half a deer in one meal would be bothered by a four pound hairball.
I've seen a tiger close up, and they're fucking enormous.

It is safe to assume that between 5 and 7 billion pounds of shit are produced every day from humans alone.

It's not that simple. Whales are generally neutral bouyancy, they don't float.Gawdzilla Sama wrote:That's because fat is lower density than water.mistermack wrote:When a blue whale is feeding, the water in it's mouth weighs more than the whale.
It's really because the volume of it's mouth is gigantic, due to the expandable folds around it's jaws.
So the volume of water in it's mouth is greater than the volume of it's body tissues.

Re: That's amazing ! Post incredible facts here.
That depends on the species, and the ambient temperature of their usual environment. But the difference in density between blubber and water is very slight, and is counterbalanced by the weight of bone and muscle.Gawdzilla Sama wrote:And its body tissues are mostly blubber.mistermack wrote:It's not that simple.

The sperm whale can make itself more dense than water, when it wants to dive, and less dense, when it wants to surface.
If the blubber was as light as you seem to think, they wouldn't be able to dive at all.

I've read reports of young girls having hairballs much heavier than four pounds removed. ( nowhere near basketball size ).
You don't believe it? That's fine. I think it sounds legit.

Tigers never live to 17 in the wild, so it's probably not a common problem.
Maybe basketballs aren't as big as I remember them. I was at school, the last time I held one. I've grown a bit since then.
