On this week’s Who Knew Wednesday, we discussed Apple Strudel, Mascots, and Crocodiles; plus, who am I trivia. Here’s what we talked about.

WHO KNEW FACT CHECK – Crocodiles can go through over 3,000 teeth in their lifetime! As soon as one falls out a new one starts growing in its place. 

NATIONAL APPLE STRUDEL DAY – The longest Apple Strudel ever made measured over 2,004 feet and was baked in Vienna in 2015.

NATIONAL MASCOT DAY – The word Mascot comes from the French word “Mascotte” which means lucky charm.

WORLD CROC DAY – Some crocodiles can reach lengths of up to 20 feet and weigh over 2,000 pounds. They also have a long lifespan, with some individuals living for more than 70 years.
