1.

People who eat whatever they want and stay slim have a
slow metabolism, not fast. A skinny person tends to have less
muscle mass than others, meaning their basal metabolic rate
(BMR) is lower than those of a high muscle mass – this gives
them a slow metabolism, not a fast one.
2. Earth is 4.54 billion years old. Using radiometric dating,
scientists have discovered that the Earth is 4.54 billion years
old (give or take 50 million years). This makes our planet half
the age of the Milky Way Galaxy (11-13 billion years old) and
around a third of the age of the Universe (10-15 billion years
old).
3. Beavers don't actually live in dams. Technically, beavers live
in a lodge that they build behind a dam, within a deep pool of
water.
4. The average dinosaur lifespan was surprisingly
small. The Tyrannosaurus rex, for example, reached full size
between 16-22 years old and lived up until 27-33. The largest
dinosaurs such as the Brontosaurus and Diplodocus tended to
live up to between 39-53 years old, maybe reaching the heights
of 70.
