An average Basset hound weighs about as much as an elephant's heart. Thanks to her role as Violet in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, actress Denise Nickerson wrapped filming with 13 cavities! French grunt fish grind their teeth when they are frightened, making a sound similar to nails on a chalkboard!

Cavities can be filled:) Vic Morrow was decapitated while filming the Twilight Zone Movie along with two children:) Eric Fleming drowned while filming High Jungle:( And Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee’s son, was shot dead while making the classic movie The Crow:(

A male Basset Hound weights up to 61 pounds. A Blue Whale’s heart weights 400 pounds:)

um, I read that Basset weigh about 80 lb. for males, 65-75 for females. About the same as a full grown Lab, only on a dog that’s 20" at the shoulder.
