From the publisher

All the amazing facts in this book are strange but true. With clever, yet easy-to-understand visual comparisons, you will make sense of things that seem too bizarre to be real. In It Can’t Be True! 2, you can see a hippo’s mouth large enough to swallow a car, a truck strong enough to carry 90 elephants, and a jellyfish longer than three blue whales. Plus, did you know that all the world’s continents could fit into the Pacific Ocean? Or that all the world’s trees could fill North and South America combined? These concepts are brought to life with fascinating CGI artworks. Find out how much paper you’d need to print out the World Wide Web (hint: it’s a stack taller than the height of Earth’s globe), how much sweat your feet produce in a day (it could fill a glass), and much more in this collection of weird facts and world records from planet Earth and space, animals and plants, people, and technology. If you think it can’t be true, It Can’t Be True! 2 will prove that it is!
