Pumpkins are beloved all over the world. There are over 40 different kinds of pumpkins each with their own name, my personal is sweetie pie pumpkins. Even though its well-known as a vegetables pumpkins are actually a fruit. This is because they grow out of the flower of their plant which makes them a fruit. Pumpkins are used in a variety of sweet and savory dishes so it fits either the vegetable or fruit category just fine.
Pumpkins are a symbol for Halloween but originally it was turnips. In the original tale of how we came to use pumpkins as Jack 0` lanterns . They were made The tale said that “Stingy Jack” (Skeleton Jack) tried to trick the devil into paying for his bar tab. And after Jack died, the devil was so angry about the situation that wouldn’t let Jack cross over to the afterlife. So, he had to wander the Earth at night, using light from a single coal. To avoid burning his- undead- self, he put the coal in a hollowed out turnip, and became known as “Jack of the Lantern.” This Irish tale led to the tradition of carving turnips in Jack’s likeness, to scare him away.
Mushrooms are the fruit of a Fungus. Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies or reproductive structures of a much larger underground fungus. They are one of the most common oddities on Earth. Different species of mushrooms are found on almost every continent. Fun fact, In ancient Egypt, mushrooms were held in high regard because it was believed that they were the secret to immortality.
There are hundreds of different species of mushrooms, not all are edible and some are actually incredibly toxic to humans. The effects can range from mild irritation to in some cases death. But there are some kinds of mushrooms we can forage and consume like lions mane and puffball mushrooms. These are a staple of many vegan diets.
Some mushrooms reproduce through spores that are released in the air after decomposition. This makes it possible for mushrooms to grow in the most random places. Interesting to note that mushrooms are in fact the largest living organism on the earth.
Sharks terrifying or misunderstood.
Sharks have a very well known reputation for being the most dangerous animal in the ocean. Many people, myself included have an irrational fear of sharks. With the number of known shark attack cases in the world it is easy to understand why this predator has received such an infamous status but studies have shown that you are more likely to fall victim to an attack from a cow than a shark attack.
Sharks have been around for a very long time, some studies have shown that certain species of sharks are older than trees. These studies have found that sharks appeared in waters around 455 million years ago. Grandpa shark du-du-du-du.
Sharks are dentists favorite patient. This is because sharks lose on average about 30 000 teeth in their life times. Shark tooth necklaces are very popular around most beaches because they are either found on coral or wash up on shores.
Sharks are predators but humans do not form part of their food groups, Shark attacks are usually caused by confusion as sharks to not have the best vision. Humans who have been victims of shark attacks were probably perceived as seal, a common prey of sharks. Usually after one bite they are able to tell that they made a mistake and happily scurry off.
So please remember coconuts are more dangerous to humans than sharks.

Elephants (intelligent animals)
Elephants are the largest land mammal on the Earth at present time. The popular idiom, memory of an elephant holds some truth. Elephants are incredibly smart and can recognize themselves. Their brain can weigh anywhere between 4 and 6 kilograms. Most of an elephants behavior is not animal instinct but rather learned behavior through many experiences. They also have incredible memories, with a brain that size I`d hope so.
Elephants are matriarchal in nature, large herds of elephants are usually led by older female elephants. The older the elephant, the more information they know through years of experience. Younger elephants depend on their elders for guidance through dangerous terrain or difficult situations such as droughts or shortages of food.
Elephants that have had exposure to humans are known to be friendly and docile but herds of wild elephants can display acts of aggression that can lead to injury or death. Its best to avoid wild elephants as they do not know which humans are potential threats and can resort to violence if they feel threatened.
Interesting facts about Raccoons
Raccoons are black, white and gray animals that often resemble little thieves. True to their appearance raccoons have been known to take food that does not belong to them or rummage through trash at night.
Contrary to popular opinion raccoons are very intelligent animals, they have an IQ scale closer to that of a human. I wouldn`t appreciate being compared to a raccoon when it comes to smarts. Anyway, raccoons are known to have an evolving intelligence meaning they are able to learn and change their way of thinking from experiences.
Despite living outside and being known for picking through trash, raccoons are actually very hygienic animals. Whatever food they acquire they make a point of trying to clean it before consuming. If you have a minute search a well known video of a raccoon attempting to wash cotton candy, spoiler there is a rather disappointing but adorable ending.
Mount Fuji is one of the many landmarks one thinks of when thinking about Japan. Most Japanese would say that Mount Fuji is property of Japan but it is actually partly privately owned.
Mount Fuji is also an active volcano, the last eruption was recording in 1707. Beautiful but dangerous, though there has been no news that it would erupt it is a possibility.
Lastly, it is possible to get married on Mount Fuji, the same offered is limited but a wedding on a beautiful active volcano would be an experience.
