The blue whale is the heaviest animal that ever lived.

A giraffe is the tallest animal.

Football is a sport with a quarterback who is the captain of the team.

The lesser bamboo bat is the smallest bat on earth.

A snake is a reptile with no legs.

I am sure you all have many more, so please share them with the blog! And if there are any fallacies, let me know. I am sure there are several more definitions of chocolate we women can think of! :)

See ya after!
