• Rare Red Coral of the Mediterranean is actuallyblue.
• Gray Whale is really black.
• Whalebone is baleen, more like fingernails than bone.
• Riptides are fast moving currents.
• That pretty Douglas fir christmas tree? Pine tree, not fir.
• Fish lovers beware. Atlantic salmon belongs to the trout family.
