These cheery fun facts should turn a frown upside down, Hope you enjoy the first of a continuing series of fun facts... 1. Otters hold hands while floating. It's their safety precaution while sleeping. Keeps them from losing contact with one another. 2. Dolphins name each other. How neat is that! They do this by making certain sounds to one another for identification. So, I guess Flipper isn't the only dolphin name out there. 3. Spaghetto is the technical name for a single strand of spaghetti. Wonder if that funny name was the inspiration for coming up with the product called "spaghettios." 4. A newborn panda is smaller than a mouse. Ah, a critter as cute as a little hamster. 5. German Chocolate Cake is not named for the Country. Nope, it's named for American baker Samuel German who developed a type of dark baking chocolate for the Baker's Chocolate Company in 1852. Now you know some interesting, pretty cool historical facts. Which fact did you enjoy the most? Till next edition... Source- Woman's Day Photo- seaotters.com

Those are interesting facts. I've known about the otters. The newborn panda is a surprise at how small it is. The tasty treat gets my vote for most delicious.

@dgobucks226 A lot smarter than we know, I think. I remember watching this one show where the dolphins were showing the divers how to find these certain crustaceans that lived in the sand

Yes, some interesting fun facts. Those Dolphins are really intelligent creatures! And I would of thought German Choc cake would be invented in Germany.

I didn't know that the panda is so small when born. I would have thought it was much bigger but now I know.

Yes, that was a surprising trivia fact! They sure make up for their size later on though.

I can't decide, all were interesting although I did know #1 ..... holding hands also keeps them from drifting too far out to sea.

So should I start referring to each separate spaghetti western as a "spaghetto western?"

Okay, spaghetto comes from "spago" (piece of string) that means small piece of string. The world exist and in Italy it is never used, you never say 1 spaghetto, always "gli spaghetti" (no S at the end of course, it is already a plural)..
