- A kiwi fruit 75 g
Originally China's 'mihoutao', it was rebranded by New Zealand exporters in 1959 after their flightless national bird.

Some sourdough starters are family heirlooms over 150 years old, kept alive by daily feedings of flour and water.

The kilogram was originally defined in the 1790s as the mass of exactly this much water — the tie was only fully broken in 2019.
- An adult Dalmatian 25 kg
Dalmatian puppies are born completely white; their famous spots only appear after a few weeks.

A lion's roar can be heard up to 8 km away, thanks to uniquely flat, square-shaped vocal folds.
