Discover Three Fascinating Facts You Didn't Know!

Did you know that Ireland and Iceland are the only countries in Europe with no snakes? In fact, there are only three more places on Earth with no snakes besides these two: Greenland, Cape Verde, and New Zealand.

Here's another interesting fact: China, which is nearly as wide as the contiguous United States, has only one time zone known as Beijing Time. Meanwhile, the contiguous U.S. has four primary time zones.

And lastly, although Greenland and Africa seem to have comparable sizes when looking at a map, Greenland is actually 14 times smaller than Africa. This discrepancy is due to the Mercator projection.

Here are three facts that I'm sure you didn't know:

Ireland and Iceland are the only countries in Europe with no snakes. In fact, there are only three more places on Earth with no snakes besides these two, and these are Greenland, Cape Verde, and New Zealand.

China, which is nearly as wide as the contiguous U.S., has only one time zone known as Beijing Time, while the contiguous United States has four primary time zones.

Although they seem to have comparable sizes when looking at a map, Greenland is actually 14 times smaller than Africa. The Mercator projection is to blame for this.

No snakes in Ireland and Iceland? Guess St. Patrick was more efficient than I thought. 🐍

[lolinhagamer]

Fun fact: Brazil has an island called "snake islands" that has the highest number of snakes per square meter in the world 💀

[UrLigmaSigma]

It’s crazy how New Zealand is right next to Australia, which is know for things like crazy snakes, bugs and animals, but New Zealand doesn’t have any snakes.

[julianaallen]

And China is to blame for the time zones. It actually was 5 different time zones but China being China.. thats why at 10am in part of the country its still dark.

"…and New Zealand!" Ass moment 💀

Mercator projection Is a navigational map. Directions on the map give you the compass direction needed to reach your destination. The fact that areas near the poles are magnified and areas near the equator are reduced are unfortunate side effects. It is not a plot to minimize the size of Africa.

[Mikeyc]

Usa has 4 primary but 6 in total (Hawaiian, Alaskan, PST, EST, CST, MST)

[kategreatdowdall]

The reason Ireland has no snakes is because St. Patrick banished them centuries ago. 💚💚🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️

[howard]

We have lots of snakes, they congregate in leinster House ( parliament)

[drjack]

Cheers to Saint Paddy; we, the Irish ☘️ were so proud of the legend!😅

[AlexLitaOfficial]

Me: brings snakes to Ireland and Iceland

[LeeviVarjonen]

[Idk_whaimdoing]

New Zealand having no snakes is actually crazy

[ahmedmaraden]

Him : these are the only places with no snackes ( Ireland, Iceland, Cape verde, Greenland, New Zealand)

Me: Antarctica has left the chat

😅😂❤

[Suspressable]

I hate when a youtuber puts “facts you didn’t know” in the title then puts an obvious fact in the video.

[cleppermarketing]

There's also no snakes in Ketchikan, Alaska. The snakes can't burrow deep enough and or the soil is to rocky for them.

[alexwaggoner]

Are you saying that Antarctica has snakes?

[TheB-B]

“Here are three facts I’m sure you didn’t know”

You’re wrong, I knew the last one.

[trevormillar]

I thought there were.no snakes In Hawaii either.

[cruxx]

I'm pretty certain there are a lot of godforsaken islands that has no snakes
