    Did you know blue lobsters are real?

    And yes, they’re insanely rare—about a 1-in-2-million chance of being found! These stunningly blue crustaceans get their unique color from a rare genetic mutation that makes them produce an excess of a particular protein.

    Most lobsters are brown or greenish until cooked, but this mutation gives blue lobsters their natural pop of color. So, you’re more likely to win a major lottery than stumble across one of these beauties in the wild. Want more rare finds like this?

    Ever wondered why a bee would be called a fish?

    Turns out, in 2022, a legal case in California declared certain bees as fish! Yes, you heard that right—a fish. Due to a quirky loophole in the California Endangered Species Act, the law included a broad category of "fish" that ended up covering invertebrates, too. Since bees didn’t have their own category, the court allowed them to be classified as fish to give them much-needed protections.

    Ever wondered if the Tooth Fairy has a tax bill?

    Well, if her payouts to kids were taxed, she’d owe quite a sum! According to estimates, the Tooth Fairy leaves about $4 per tooth, and with around 20 million teeth lost each year in the U.S. alone, that’s $80 million in “income.” At a 24% tax rate, she’d owe nearly $20 million to the IRS annually!

These quirky little fish have adapted to life both in and out of water, using their strong, pectoral fins to "walk" on mud and even climb small trees!Here's the wild part: mudskippers breathe through their skin, allowing them to spend hours out of water. They live in mangrove swamps, hopping around, keeping cool, and basically owning the mud flats. Not your average fish, right?

    Did you know synchronized swimming has roots in ancient Greece?

    Well… not exactly! Although the ancient Greeks adored their sports, artistic swimming didn’t hit the scene until the 20th century. What they did have, though, were water-based performances that combined athleticism and grace—like divers showing off their skill mid-plunge! Synchronized swimming as we know it emerged from water ballet performances in the early 1900s and was eventually embraced by the Olympics in 1984.
