We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Rotifer — The claim that bdelloid rotifers were restored after 24,000 years frozen is misleading; they were revived from permafrost dated to about 24,000 years ago, not continuously frozen for that duration.
Sand dollar — The entry's STATS section states sand dollars average 80–100 mm, but the 'DID YOU KNOW' section implies the test is similar in size to a Spanish dollar, which was actually 38–40 mm; this size discrepancy is a factual error in the implied comparison.
Vampire squid — The claim that the vampire squid has the largest eyes relative to body size in the entire animal kingdom is a factual error; it has the largest eye-to-body-size ratio among cephalopods, but not necessarily among all animals.
Vampire squid — The statement that the vampire squid is the only cephalopod able to live its entire life cycle in the oxygen minimum zone at oxygen saturations as low as 3% is not universally established; other cephalopods also inhabit oxygen minimum zones, and the 3% figure
Velvet crab — The genus name Necora is derived from the Galician word 'necoras', not from Greek.
