Did you know that the Coca-Cola Company offers more than 500 brands in over 200 countries, in addition to its most famous Coca-Cola beverage?

The first ever horse was more of a small dog-sized animal and lived about 55 million years ago. It had a primitive short face, with eye sockets in the middle and a short diastema (the space between the front teeth and the cheek teeth).

Did you know that Mexican children receive their gifts on January 6th as they celebrate the day that the three wise men arrived to meet Jesus? It’s called The Day of the Holy Kings.

Did you know that seahorses swim upright and avoid predators by mimicking the colour of underwater plants? Except for crabs, few marine predators eat the seahorse - it is too bony and indigestible!
