Race and Brooke Belmont- twins from Tampa, Fla., USA, turned 11 on 11/11/11 (Nov. 11, 2011)! Whale sharks, the largest living fish in the sea, can reach lengths of 40 feet- eating mostly microscopic krill! The only known species of night flowering orchid was discovered in New Britain Island, Papa New Guinea. It flowers for a single night before dying!

I wonder what the orchid needs to be pollinated. An insect would die of starvation waiting for the next ‘opening night’.
