5 Fun Facts Challenge

1. In Australia, there is a small mouse-like creature called an Antechinus. During its mating season, it will have so much sex that it will disintegrate. These violent and frenetic encounters can last up to 14 hours at a time. This is the one chance he has to pass his genes on. In the process, he will exhaust himself so thoroughly that his body will start to fall apart. His fur falls off, he bleeds internally, his immune system weakens and he will become riddled with gangrene.

2. If you took out all the empty space in our atoms, you can fit the entire human race in the volume of a sugar cube.

4. A Banana is classed as a berry.

5. Andromeda and The Milky Way will eventually merge into one galaxy. Because of the distances between the stars, few if any of the stars in either galaxy will actually collide, so it's unlikely to be a catastrophe.
