Keep reading to learn the least expected facts about a volcano that erupts blue lava, koalas and grasshoppers.

There are lots of amazing stories behind the most familiar and ordinary things.

#1 In the eighteenth century, only people of high social status had pineapples

#2 Just like human fingerprints, every dog has a distinct nose print

#3 Koalas naturally don't drink water!

Koalas are not used to drinking water like other animals, as they eat a lot of eucalyptus, which fulfills their water requirements. It may even be dangerous to give koalas water from bottles or hoses in the zoo!

#4 Leonardo da Vinci invented an alarm clock that wakes people up by rubbing their feet rather than the regular sound

Would you dare to try such a method of waking up?

#5 Grasshoppers' legs function as their ears

#6 Crocodiles swallow stones as a means of helping digestion and also to dive deeper

#7 Kawah Ijen is the only volcano that erupts blue lava instead of red

Which of these facts is the most surprising? Tell us in the comment section!

Yes, the blue lava would be very interesting to see in person. Pretty amazing, 70 years old and never heard about it. I do learn things from all these quizzes so thank you very much for all of the interesting facts.

Joy Holbrook, Is the gas hotter than the lava, like the blue flames from a gas stove are hotter than the red and orange tips? Is the gas also light enough to travel? Thank you, Christine, James's wife
