Things that make you go hmmm....

...while watching Cartoon Network in the middle of the night.

Zoobooks ad, written for kids introduces them to the world of animals...

then proceeds to give a series of random facts about animals.

Including the tidbit "The largest animal in the world, lives on the smallest."

Meanwhile they are are showing shots of Orcas eating fish.

1) Orcas are not whales

2) Blue Whales eat krill, not fish.

Makes you wonder what other factual errors there are in the magazine.

Um, when I had "Marine Mammals of California" at Foothill College, we were taught Orcas are a type of whale.

There are two main types of whales: ones with a single blowhole, and ones with two blowholes. With sufficient study you can identify the type of whale you're watching by the spray pattern from its blowhole.
