Although the komodo dragon doesn't actually have venom, the bacteria in its saliva (it salivates a lot) is even more deadly. It will hunt dear and other large animals, usually biting its victim once, then tracking it for hours. Once the victims dies, it feasts.

Kiler whales (I know they're not whales) work in pods for hunting. These incedibly intelligent creatures will beach themselves, grab their prey, and work their way back to the ocean. Each pod has its own unique language of clicks, but all of their languages are fairly similiar.

Nope, not gold! I think copper is the second fastest. In fact, today's fact will be about copper

 a good saw bone could cut through a femur in a whopping 30 seconds!

Decompression sickness occurs when a scuba diver goes deep, and rises too quickly. This is because the diver breaths in more air (which is 70% nitrogen) when they are deeper down because the air taken in is compressed by the water's pressure, when they rise, the nitrogen basically forms bubbles in their blood vessels, which is truly awful. It is also called the "bends" because divers who get this double over with pain

Hello, I have missed a day, as I have been very busy lately. Here is yesterday's fact as well as today's.
1: the first amputation under anesthetic was in 1847, when the surgery was over, he asked,"when will you begin doctor?" 2: the largest tree of all time (its dead now) was in Australia, it was a 490 foot tall eucalyptus tree.
