Did You Know...

The zacahuil, or a Mexican tamale is three feet long and weighs about 150 pounds.

Mexico is home to the Volcano Rabbit, which is a rare rabbit that lives near volcanoes in Mexico.

Children in Mexico that celebrate el dia de los reyes magos do not recieve presents on Christmas, but on January 6. This also goes for Spain and many other Latin-American countries.

Mexico's size is 756,066 square miles, which is almost three times larger than Texas!

The Aztecs played a ritual ball game known as tlachtli, and the losing team would usually be sacrificed to the gods!
