One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2012 I cycled from London to Istanbul with a buddy of mine, and we really had no clue what we were doing :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Did you know that the densest fur of any animal on the planet belongs to the sea otter, Enhydra lutris? If you were to put your thumb down on the pelt of a sea otter there would be more hair underneath your thumb than on the entire top of your head! On average, there are about a million hairs per square inch of sea otter fur.
