Cats bring humans "presents" because they think we can't hunt for ourselves. Your cat has your best interest in mind when she brings you that dead mouse. No, really — it's true! "In the wild, cat mothers teach their young how to eat their food by bringing home dead or injured prey," according to Live Science. "Domestic cats are no different. But in this modern age of spayed domestic cats, many female felines have no young to whom they need to pass on their hunting wisdom. By leaving a dead animal on the back porch, your cat is acting out its natural role." Who knew?

The world's second-largest coral reef is no longer endangered. In 2018, the world received good news about the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, a 200-mile-long reef which is part of a 600-mile system in Belize. After a decade of work to protect and save the world's second-largest reef, it was taken off the list of endangered world heritage sites. It was put there in 2009, after which the Central American country placed restrictions on oil drilling and fishing for sensitive species. Now, it's believed to be safe from any further damage — as long as we continue to take care of it. Who knew?

A BIG slice for me, please.Scientists have discovered that humans are naturally helpful. An oft-cited 2006 study published in the journal Science found that 18-month-old toddlers would almost always try to help an adult when the little one realized that the grown-up was struggling. For instance, if an adult is reaching for something, the toddler would try to hand it to them, or if they saw an adult drop something, they would move to pick it up. "This requires both an understanding of others' goals and an altruistic motivation to help," the researchers concluded. Who knew?
