Mother Russia
Russia is huge. This truly massive country might look big on a map, but it also looks big in space! The surface area of Pluto is less than that of Russia. Pluto is about 1.67 x 107 square kilometers, and while it's pretty close to the same size as Russia, it's just a little bit smaller. Hey, maybe we can get Russia declared to be its own planet!
Camel Imports
Camels are known to be great for travel, and you probably associate them with crossing big deserts in the Middle East. Rather surprisingly though, these camels are not native to the region. They are typically imported from countries like Australia. So, next time you see a camel crossing a desert, know that it might be just as lost as it looks!
