In a study of 200,000 ostriches over a period of 80 years, no one reported a single case where an ostrich buried its head in the sand.

"WHY IT'S NOT TRUE: Ostriches don't bury their heads in the sand—they wouldn't be able to breathe! But they do dig holes in the dirt to use as nests for their eggs. Several times a day, a bird puts her head in the hole and turns the eggs. So it really does look like the birds are burying their heads in the sand"!

The world's oldest captive goldfish lived to be 43 years old. Tish, the goldfish, achieved fame late in life after being recognised by the Guinness Book of Records in 1999. In 1998 the fish took the longevity title from Fred, a goldfish who died in 1980, aged 41.

In later life, Tish faded from bright orange to a distinguished silver, but remained healthy until shortly before his death. His owner said the secret of his long life was not being overfed, and being put in the sun occasionally.

Got a frog in you throat? "Medieval physicians believed that the secretions of a frog could cure a cough if they were coated on the throat of the patient."
