No, Mount Everest is the highest! But how high is it?

Let's see

No! It is the blue whale.

It can weigh 200 tons, about the same as 50 African elephants!

Even its tongue can weigh as much as one elephant!

Next question

Well, that is impossible to answer!

Everyone has a different opinion.

But my favorite food is ....

It is inside your ear. Yes, that’s right!

It is called ‘stapes’ and it helps you to hear sounds. It is only about 0.3cm long - you could easily fit 3 on your thumbnail!

Next question

The answer is ... the cheetah!

The cheetah can run at a top speed of 120 km/h (75 mph), which is super fast!

Cheetahs live in Africa and use their incredible speed to catch other animals to eat. It can only run for a short time though - it gets tired very quickly.

Next question

Mount Everest is nearly 9km (5.5 miles) high - that is the height jumbo jet airplanes fly at!

Hope you enjoyed it!

Try to remember some of the facts as we learn. At the end of this lesson I’ll give you a quiz.

So, are you ready?

No

First up, which is the fastest land animal in the world?

Ok, next question. How old is the oldest tree in the world?

I know I know

It’s 9,500 years old. Wow!

The tree is growing in Sweden and it is called “Old Tjikko”.

It’s not very tall though, only 5 meters. It doesn’t look very special either. However, it is so old that people were still living in caves when it started to grow!

Next question

The next amazing fact is about food. Does anyone like hamburgers? How much do you think the most expensive hamburger costs?

Let's see

It costs over US $2,000 (£1,700, €2,200)!

That is enough to buy 2,000 cheeseburgers at McDonald’s!

This expensive burger is sold at the Honky Tonk restaurant in London, England, and it even has gold in it!

Would you like to try it?
