More cat adventures.

Most of today's gold comes from Quebec, Canada. You won't believe how deep they go to mine it!

The largest ever gold nugget was discovered in 1854 at Carson Hill in California. It weighed an impressive 195 pounds and was valued at $43,534 at the time of it's discovery.

During the Gold Rush, gold was mostly obtained by panning and sluicing. These practices relied on gold deposits, which were usually found in stream beds or in deposits of sand and gravel.

The modern hard rock method of mining gold produces most of the precious metal in the world today. Heavy machinery is used to dig down to veins of gold in rock deep beneath the Earth's surface. The deepest hard rock gold mine in North America is Agnico-Eagle's LaRonde mine in Quebec, Canada. The deepest shaft of that mine reaches over 2.48 miles deep underground.

The deepest mines in the world are the TauTona (Western Deep Levels) and Savuka gold mines in the Witwatersrand region of South Africa, which are currently working at depths of more than 3,900 m!

The chemical symbol for gold is Au. This comes from the Latin "aurum" which, when translated, means "shining dawn." Gold was one of the first precious metals mined because it is easily accessible and can be found in the ground in it's natural form.

Jurassic Park’s raptors replaced by cats

Dear bookworms,

I'm going to write a book filled with wonderful, interesting characters you will fall in love with. You will learn their secrets and understand their inside jokes and cry with them and be happy when they're happy. Then, when I am sure you are in love with them, I will kill them in the cruelest way plausible.

Sincerely, authors
