Some turtles breathe through their cloacas... or anal/urinary canals. Yes, during hibernation turtles breathe through their butts!

It's called "cloacal respiration".

R11 That one isn't true, because the Maxon-Dixon line isn't a straight line of latitude. AC is below some parts of the line, but not the whole thing.

Although it hasn't been proven beyond a certain absurdly high number, every even number is the sum of two primes.

Go ahead. Try to think of an even number that's not.

You could match every natural number with a corresponding even number and never run out of even numbers, even though intuition tells you there are twice as many natural numbers as even numbers.

This is because the set of all natural numbers {1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ...} enjoys a one-to-one correspondence with the set of all even numbers {2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ...}, since they both extend to infinity.

When threatened, the turkey vulture will vomit at whatever is thinking about attacking it.

The can projectile vomit up to ten feet, and since they eat rotten dead meat nothing with two brain cells to run together will do anything but frantically try to clean that crap off.
