I'm full of weird facts i learned over the years actually. So, another one: wombats have cube shaped poop.
many species of conifer require fire to propagate - the high heat releases the seeds from their protective enclosure. this is why forest fires are beneficial to some forest environments
The temperature greatly influences the sex of Alligator eggs. Above 93F and the majority of the eggs will be male.
I think this actually also true for certain other reptiles and even some fish. Really freaking interesting.
