Let’s debunk some myths!!

Transcript: Hello everyone, my name is Ivaan and I'm Dad. Welcome to my channel, Facts with Ivaan. I'm in year one and every day I come across millions of new facts. Some interesting and some boring. On this channel I show you some amazing facts.

Let's move to the fact of the day. Today we'll talk about some common myths. First, let's talk about sharks. It's commonly believed that sharks love to attack humans. That's not true. They don't even like the taste of humans. They only attack if they feel attacked by humans. Did you know there was something called shark fin soup? People tag sharks to get their fins to make soup. The shark's only choice is to tag the human, otherwise it will get in danger to being turned into soup.

Next, how many of you have heard that camels store water in their hump? Almost all of us. That is not true. A camel's hump is made of just fat. They use this to survive long times in the desert without food and water.

After that, let's talk about bats. A common myth is that bats are blind. Bats are not blind. While it's true that most bat species use sounds to navigate, all bats have eyes and can see.

Finally, dinosaurs. We all have heard or read that dinosaurs went extinct millions of years ago. Did you know that we still have dinosaurs around us? That is true. Just look at the tree around you. Birds are the ancestors of small feathers, the theropods from the Jurassic period, and are still with us.

These are my favorite myths which I thought I would share with you. Maybe someday we can talk about more myths. Thank you everyone for listening. I'll see you all soon with some more facts.
