Fast facts: The world's smallest snake is the rare thread snake of the West Indies. If you take the lead out of a mechanical pencil, the thread snake could slither through the hole. There are about 2 million sweat glands in the average human body. The average adult loses 540 calories in a liter of sweat. Eskimos use wooden "eyeglasses" with narrow slits for eyepieces to protect their eyes from the glare reflected by ice and snow. The females of many moth species have no wings. To compensate for this, their bodies are always larger and heavier than those of male moths. All porcupines can float in water and do so when given the chance.
