In 1986, 5-year-old Saroo Brierley of Khandusa, India- accidentally boarded the wrong train and could not find his way home. Living in Tasmania 25 years later, he used satellite maps to locate his hometown and reunite with his family! Believe it or not! Starfish can regenerate an entire new body from a single arm! The Champawat Tiger- a wild man eater- killed more than 400 people in India and Nepal before she was killed by a hunter in 1907!

One tiger killed over 400 people? That’s more than a little difficult to believe. Local folklore perhaps but unlikely to be true. File under bullsh**.

Oyster-men would chop up starfish and throw them back thinking they were killing them but only making more starfish.

I saw this great thing on the Discovery Channel. Turns out if you kill a starfish it’ll just come back to life.

I heard they’re thinking of putting microchips in kids, like they do dogs, to relocate them if they’re lost or abducted. Yes, one can cut a starfish in several pieces and the pieces all grow back into several starfish. They showed us this in films when I was young and in Biology class.

Which is why they are actually Sea Stars, not fish. No relation to fish whatsoever, so stop calling them fish, you sound ignorant.
