Stingrays may appear to be soaring through the water, but a closer look reveals that they are actually moving through with a smooth flapping motion. The majority of species move by undulating their bodies, much like an aquatic wave, however, some prefer to flap their sides like wings.

We've all been caught jaywalking. You will NOT see jaywalking during your vacation here, even though it is rather widespread in other world areas. This is one of the fascinating facts about South Korea that may take some getting accustomed to. South Koreans are extremely conscientious about traffic and pedestrian restrictions, therefore they will always wait for visual confirmation that they are permitted to cross the street, even if the crossing is clear! Fortunately, in a densely populated city such as Seoul, this results in safer streets and fewer traffic accidents.
The strangest thing of all time is that certain snails may sleep for up to three years! This is because they require wet circumstances to exist, and if the weather does not provide adequate moisture, they will hibernate. Honeybees, which can flap their wings 230 times per second, are also fascinating creatures. And did you know that baby pandas are born smaller than mice? They're only four ounces! Finally, horses and cows can sleep standing up but only dream while lying down.
