1 Your very first scar into this world

Well you guessed right, this thing on your body is your very first scar, and you receive it after the umbilical cord is cut to separate you and your mother as you are born into the world we now live in. Most mammals such as monkeys or pretty much any of the ape family all have this same scar from umbilical cords on their bodies.

Some people, I am not quite sure whether they are lucky or not don't get left a belly button type scar. It just heals so well it practically disappears without a mark.

According to a few studies done on this subject, there is an average of 60-70 species of bacteria that call your belly button home. With that amount of different species, there are 2400 different species identified so far that have been identified to live in peoples belly buttons.
