There are two main groups of bats: larger, Old World, fruit-eating mega bats (Megachiroptera) and microbats (Microchiroptera). Megabats are also known as fruit bats or flying foxes and typically live in warm climates. They use their large eyes to find food in the dark and they tend to roost in trees rather than in caves, crevices, or old buildings. Microbats are generally much smaller and use echolocation to find insects. Microbats are typically found all over the world, including the U.S. Not all megabats are larger than microbats. @googlefactss#mammals#nowyouknow

Paraskavedekatriaphobia is the fear of Friday the 13th. 😨 This phobia combines fear of the number 13 (triskaidekaphobia) and fear of Fridays. Superstitions include the Biblical Last Supper, where Judas was the 13th guest 👑, and a Norse myth where Loki was the 13th guest at a dinner party. 🍽️ @googlefactss#phobias#nowyouknow#funfact#FridayThe13th

To boost alertness after a power nap (a 20-minute Stage 2 nap), sleep researchers suggest drinking caffeine before a nap. Caffeine requires 20–30 minutes to take effect, so it will kick in just as you’re waking. @googlefactss#research#nowyouknow [read more1] [Read more2]

Right clicking a YouTube video allows you to “Copy video URL at current time”. How to Use It: Pause the YouTube video at the exact moment you want the link to start. Right-click anywhere on the video player. From the menu, choose "Copy video URL at current time". Paste the link (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V) into an email, message, or document. When someone clicks the link, the video will automatically begin playing from that specific time. @googlefactss#nowyouknow#internet#tips

Blind people smile even though they have never seen anybody else smile. Facial expressions like smiling are largely innate and biological, not just learned through visual imitation and not learned at all. @googlefactss#nowyouknow

Dragonfly nymphs (larvae) breathe and move using their anus, drawing water in for gas exchange (breathing via internal rectal gills) and expelling it forcefully for jet propulsion to escape danger or catch prey, a remarkable adaptation for their aquatic life. @googlefactss#insects#nowyouknow
