   A single pomegranate can hold over 600 juicy seeds, called arils, and the fruit stars in myths from Greece to Persia.

3. An adult brown rat 350 g

   Rats emit ultrasonic giggles when tickled and come back for more — research that helped earn an Ig Nobel Prize.

   The largest land animal walks almost silently — its foot pads expand and absorb sound like cushioned trainers.
