   Despite weighing less than a paperclip, monarchs migrate up to 4,800 km from Canada to mountain forests in central Mexico.

2. 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.

   Hippos cannot actually swim — they sink and gallop along the riverbed, surfacing to breathe every few minutes.

5. Big Ben, the Great Bell of Westminster 13.8 t

   Big Ben is the bell, not the tower — and it cracked within months of entering service in 1859; the odd tone is the crack.

6. General Sherman, the giant sequoia in California 1.3K t
