00:00 Intro
00:25 Number 10. Bananas Grow on Trees.
Bananas grow on something the size of trees, but the Banana, "tree", is not actually a tree. The banana plant, which can grow up to 7.6 meters, is actually the world's largest perennial herb. The banana plant doesn't have woody fibers, it has strong stalks and leaves, yet it lacks the trunk and branches that would qualify it as a tree. Another related fact is that bananas are berries, since they don't produce mature seeds.
00:58 Number 9. Humans Use Only 10% of their Brains.
The human brain is quite busy all day and night, using about 20% of the body's resources. Every part of the brain is busy doing all sorts of things, even when you aren't paying attention. In fact, various parts of your brain are active all the time, far more than the mythical 10%. Learning a new skill, gaining a new memory, or thinking about a person's face, can all stimulate your brain in different ways but they are not activating an unused part, they are utilizing an active part for a new purpose.
01:36 Number 8. Bats are Blind.
Bats see in black and white. And at night they see better than we do. They lack color receptors; but in low light, we can't see colors either. Try it some time. Perhaps this myth about blind bats arose from the fact that bats don't see as well as we can in daylight, or because they have sonar and can navigate without sight. They see just fine for their environment.
02:06 Number 7. Goldfish Have A 3-7 Second Memory.
Of all the sea creatures, the octopus is probably the smartest, blue whales are the biggest, and goldfish are neither. But to be fair to the poor little guy, he's pretty adorable for his size, and he's not as dumb and forgetful as you might have heard. Goldfish can learn basic survival skills and remember them for up to three months. They can even tell time. In lab tests they could be conditioned to push a lever for food at roughly the same time each day.
02:42 Number 6. You Need to Drink at Least Eight Glasses of Water Every Day.
According to the Mayo Clinic, the amount of water you need daily depends on several different factors, like your overall health, your activity levels, and where you live. No single number applies to humans across the board—some people may be perfectly hydrated with fewer than eight glasses and others might need more.
03:08 Number 5. Dogs Only See in Black and White.
It was once thought that animals, including cats and dogs, could only see in black and white. However, scientists have proven this to be a myth. In all animals, including humans, the perception of color is determined by the presence of cells in the eye called cone photoreceptors. Veterina
