This fact has a typo in it–”weatherman” is missing the “r”

And the fact that says tiger’s skin is striped as well as their fur, the same is true for dalmations (pink skin with black skin where the spotted fur is) and for orange-and-black striped domestic cats, and presumably most spotted, striped, or otherwise patterned mammals.

Just a note- one fact states that the Sahara is not the largest dessert, but that Antarctica is. Another (#413) references the Sahara as the world’s largest dessert.

the wiorld’s smallest national park is Squaw Island in canadaigua, NY.
it’s this tiny little island out in the middle of the lake that has, like, 3 trees on it and is probably smaller than most apartment building lawns.
apparently at one point it was bigger, and you could walk out to it on the sand banks when the lake levels dropped in summer. not anymore, they keep the lake artificially high for boaters. unfortunately this is eroding the island.
apparently the local tribe would hide all the women and children out there during battles, and they were pretty safe.

my location is Rochester, NY.
