I will be the last person to die in my lifetime.
An aspen grove in Colorado is considered one of the largest living organisms at 6,600 tons; one of the oldest living organisms at 80,000 years old.
Aspen trees in a grove are connected by a single root system. This particular one has been named Pando (latin for “I spread”)
Silly city person, that was only true in the olden days! These days most milk cows are not brought in, hence the pasteurized milk you see in the grocery cooler. Meat cows, however, are still brought in at night. Pasteurized meat would just be weird.
True fact, been a long week and I thought that I started this thread but wasn’t sure where I had put it. Yes it can be any true fact, however I was talking about the “True Facts” on animal topics usually some of the weird sexual positions that they talk about are pretty funny.

Heavy ice sinks. (But does it sink in heavy water? I don’t know.)
In the Japanese classification system (it is like gender only there about 20 cases), whales are fish and squirrels are birds. Hence both were edibile even when there was a taboo against eating mammals.
Among zefrank’s True Facts videos, I personally enjoy the many things that I learned about Tapir.
Slightly sad as well, though. I’ll link later, when I’m not at work.
Hippos can’t be struck by lightning.
