Around the world, people still do horrible things to animals all in the name of “medicine.” Whether it’s killing rhinos for their horns or using rattlesnakes and their venom, the practices are disturbing, especially when you consider the lack of scientific evidence to support the old-world beliefs. But perhaps one of the meanest and cruelest […]
Making mistakes is a part of life for people and animals alike, but some flubs have much deadlier consequences than others. Take the fishing spider, for example. Instead of catching prey in a web, it usually sits right at the edge of a body of water, then attacks when it detects ripples from movement. While […]

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); When it comes to punishing your kids, how far is too far? One mom is stirring up controversy after a video of her shaving her teenage daughter’s hair went viral. The reason for the cruel and unusual punishment? Her daughter bullied a girl with cancer. No parent likes to hear that […]

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); You know the old saying “it’s raining cats and dogs”? Of course, it doesn’t actually mean that — it just signifies that it’s raining heavily. Well, one city in Scotland might have to update that old saying for a new bizarre phenomenon that’s been happening in the area. Instead of raining […]
In high school biology classes, it’s common to dissect animals. I remember having to dissect worms and frogs, while some of my peers had to perform experiments with fetal pigs and fully grown cats. Some argue that students learn better when they use software and other non-animal methods, but unfortunately, in-class dissection are still a […]
Two-headed animals might seem like they only exist in myths and frightening folktales, but I’m here to burst your bubble. While rare, two-headed creatures certainly exist. They suffer from a condition called polycephaly — a term derived from Greek, meaning “multiple heads.” Take this two-headed albino Honduran milk snake, for example. Not only are polycephalic […]

When you think of animals with immense strength, honey bees probably don’t come to mind. While walking by a brick wall one day, this man turned and saw a bee investigating a nail. Wondering why on Earth a honey bee, a creature that’s been around for centuries, would be so interested in a piece of […]
