facts

When it comes to nature, there are so many things left undiscovered. Every other week, we hear about a new species being found, an old extinct animal coming back into the world. We read interesting stories about nature all the time, like when a 392 year old shark was discovered or when a study was done that showed that sometimes octopus punch fish for no reason other than spite. 

There are always more facts to learn about the animal world. And today, you're about to learn about one of nature's mysteries. Thanks to @AlexPetrovnia, we had taken the time to thoroughly look into this mystery, you're about to learn about the truth behind why we don't find fossils in the Appalachian mountains.

Guys, get ready to be scared and impressed all at the same time. We're about to give some love to yet another insanely underappreciated animal, but we're going to do it from the safety of our homes, because this bloody bird is a little terrifying. Meet the 4 foot tall red-bearded vulture. 

We know that birds are clawsome at this point, don't even lie. Parrots can impersonate different accents and be jerks to other pets. Crows sometimes collect gifts and bring them to people. And the red-bearded vulture? Well, the red-bearded vulture eats a diet of bones and covers itself in blood for a reason which, even after we read, we can't really comprehend. It's a cool bird though, and we always love learning more about the animal kingdom, even when it scares us a bit. 

If there is one animal that we believe does not get enough love, it's horses. Yeah, everyone knows what horses are, but does everyone know that horses are majestic galloping creatures of beauty? Do they know that horses get spooked by affectionate goats with pool noodles on their horns? Do people really know anything about horses other than people sit on them? We don't think so, so we think that it's time to learn.

My goodness do we love dinosaurs. We're not even quite sure why. Perhaps it's their mystery, their massive size, or the fact that we grew up with really incredible dinosaur films. Whatever it is, we don't really care, we just know we love them. 

One Redditor decided to ask the community, "What's a cool fact about dinosaurs you know?" And it turns out, there were plenty of really cool facts we didn't know! So, we had to gather the best ones to share with all of you, because, you know, knowledge is power. And soon, we'll be the most powerful community of them all!

In the words of imgur user caesarstoga, "[t]here seems to be a critical shortage of these chaps on Imgur," and the same goes for the rest of the internet. These unique pigs are probably one of the most adorable pig breeds out there, and in this viral imgur thread, caesarstoga teaches us exactly why. 

They're cuddly, they're harmless, their tiny widdle piglets are the cutest, and they love hanging out with cats. There is nothing else that we could ask for. Allow these "fat and round" creatures to warm your hearts and your snouts, and us and the piggies wish you "a cracking good day". 

If you ever had any doubt about the ferocity of kittens, today, you shall need to look for no more proof. This tumblr thread has given us all the proof we'll ever need by explaining that Vikings - the huge, powerful, strong fighters - used to give tini-tiny kittens to their newlywed wives. And there has to be a reason for that, right? 

Just looking at the pictures of the Norwegian Forest Cats is enough to understand why Vikings would give such ferocious kittens as gifts to their wives, but reading about the legend behind the custom and the real life facts about these facts is something one cannot argue against. So, next time you're considering getting a dog to protect your house, perhaps you should take a look at kittens instead.
