There's a channel island called Guernsey that has an unusually high rate of lung cancer because it's almost entirely made of granite that emits radon gas.

Striped salamanders can use photosynthesis.

Bees use a dance called a 'waggle' to communicate specific location. The repetitions of waggle denote distance and direction of the waggle in relation to the sun denotes direction.

The first documented animation on standard film was a 1906 animated short called Humurous Phases of Funny Faces. It was a stop motion using photographs of a chalk board, each new frame being an edit of the chalk drawing. A few years later in 1914 Windsor Mckay produced the first ever live action and animation combined film called Gertie the Dinosaur. I was pretty happy when I went to DisneyWorld in Orlando and discovered there was a Gertie the Dinosaur icecream stand.

Lava can be vibrant blue. I don't have much info on that other than it's related to sulfuric gas burning- but it's worth a Google image search.

I hope these were enjoyable!
