This week, at one of our members’ requests, we have a few pieces of trivia. Good luck! Share with the team if you are able to solve them! The answers are below.
1) When NASA was considering animals to experiment on in space, they picked birds, because of the low maintenance. Although NASA was aware that most birds require gravity to swallow and would not survive the weightlessness of space, they did manage to find two types of bird that would survive the trip.
Which birds were they?
2) What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?

Answers:
1) Doves and Pigeons.
Since most birds swallow water by tilting their heads back and using gravity to let the water run down their throats, they would dehydrate in space. Doves and Pigeons are the only birds that can drink without tilting their heads back.
2) Niagara Falls - The rim is worn down about 1 foot each year because of the hundreds of thousands of gallons of water that move over it every minute
Have a great week!
