** SPOILER ALERT — Trivia posts should be read in ascending order from #1 up. **
On May 27, 2006, the U.S. Postal Service released the Wonders of America stamp collection. There are 40 stamps that feature natural and man-made wonders of the United States. The front of each stamp illustrates the superlative nature of a particular place or thing and the name or location of the featured wonder. Text on the back of each stamp provides relevant statistics and other interesting information.
For this game, I'll ask the question and in the next post of this series, give the answer and whatever other info that's on the back of the stamp.
Answer to Stamp #1:
The largest reptile is the American Alligator. Most adult male alligators are about 11' long and weigh 450-600 lbs. The largest gator on record measured more than 19' in length. Alligators are found in swamps, marshes, rivers, and lakes from Texas to the Carolinas.
Question on Stamp #2:
What are the Highest Sea Cliffs?
Hint: It isn't the slope behind Cheech and Chong's house in East L.A.
Answer will appear in post with "Stamp #3" in the title.
