On this week’s Who Knew Wednesday, we discussed grapes, having no fear, and otters; plus, who am I trivia. Here’s what we talked about.

WHO KNEW FACT CHECK – Sea Otters have the world’s thickest fur of any mammal with 2.6 million hairs per square inch; roughly 10,000 times thicker than human hair! 

National Grape Day – There are more than 8,000 different grape varieties known to scientists.

Nothing to Fear Day – Franklin D. Roosevelt famously said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

National Otter Day – Some Otters will hold hands while sleeping so they don’t drift apart.
