If the female clownfish is removed from its group, such as by death, one of the largest and most dominant males will become a female.

which reminds me of a related trivia: Obama is the 44th President of US, but only the 43rd person to be President.

Not really a fact but it amazed me.......I was driving home from Bristol over the old Severn Bridge and a pigeon was flying along side me at about 50 mph. I didn't realise they could fly that fast. :)

Pigeons are strong fliers and can fly up to 40 or 50 miles per hour. Some pigeons are raised for their exceptional abilities to fly fast and find their ways home. These pigeons may fly as far as 600 miles in a day. Although feral pigeons are good fliers too, most of these birds seem to stay close to their regular feeding sites.
