weird

The eyes are the windows to the soul! 

It's quite bizarre-looking through all these animal and insect eyes and discovering how vastly different they are from one another. It's just mind-boggling to think there are so many different eye colors, shapes, uses, it's just too much to think about! 

Here is a huge list of numerous animals/insects and a close-up of what their eye looks like and what "special features" it may have. 

A majority of these incredible shots are taken by the incredibly talented photographer Suren Manvelyan! Check more of his amazing work here! 

We've actually never heard of these really bizarre, but some really cool, animal facts! 

Crazy how much we actually don't know about anything. Weird Facts is here to help fix that a bit by providing just the weirdest facts that you probably would be better off not ever knowing. Most of them, anyway. Some facts are just downright cool. 

Follow them on Instagram to get "mind-boggling' facts daily! 

If you don't know who RandoWis is, it's definitely time for you to learn. 

We would have to say that when it comes to facial expressions within comics -- RandoWis is probably the king.

His comics are all truly hysterical but we especially enjoy the ones with his cat Puss, who is definitely the most expressive cat in any comic we've ever seen. 

Settle in, you're in for a treat! A weird treat, but a treat nonetheless! 

Here's something different! You know that popular subreddit, "Explain It To Me Like I Have 5?" Well, this is sort of like that but better because it only involves one thing...

Cows. 

Imagine, things you were never quite sure about finally explained to you in a language you can comprehend, in terms of cows. Thankfully, NewsTalkZB had created such a thing and learning has never been easier! 

So buckle in, folks! And get ready to learn things you may or may have not known, all in terms of cows. 

We've seen a lot of unusal interspecies friendship but can't recall ever seeing this particular bond...

A cat and a snake... friends? Weird, right? Weird but strangely really neat. That's what Twitter user and cat owner @molly7anne thought, too. After sharing a few images of her cat just basking in the sun with a snake, the tweet soon went viral and was flooded with comments and criticism (as always).

Here are a few of the most popular comments: 

It's the start of another really weird work week working from home! It's purrfectly healthy to take a mental health break and reward yourself with some of the funniest, cutest and plain bizarre cat videos on Instagram! 

Enjoy!

If you missed last week's top 5, you can find it here. There are few things in this world better than scrolling through cat hashtags on Instagram. 

But we can't think of any. Nor do we want to. 

This is a weird one. 

Or oddly wholesome... we haven't quite decided. 

There is a private Facebook group where members (over 700k currently) pretend to be members of an ant colony and work together to help any ant problems that arise. Such as, a collapsing tunnel or finding food, the ants (members) come crawling into the comments to share their support. 

On one hand, it's a very odd idea to begin with... but on the other, we sort of love that people are coming together...and pretending to be ants. 

We'll probably join the colony, to be honest. 

Yup. Totally "normal." There is no denying it -- cat's are weird. 

They just are! But their weirdness is what makes them so unique and delightful to be around. Their bizarre quirks and odd displays of affection -- we can't help but smile when thinking about it!

We can go on and on about how cats simply bring light into our lives, but we won't bore you with our rambling.

Onto the main event, cats being ...well, cats: 

Cats go missing all the time. Heck, mine disappears about 12 times a day and that's within the confinements of the apartment! 

Another obvious thing cats really enjoy is climbing. 

Climbing. Literally. Anything. If it's climbable, your cat will be all over it. If it's not climbable, your cat will be all over it. 

It's just what they do. What you rarely see, however, is a cat holding onto a tree branch... Cats are usually such elegant creatures. It's quite silly to see them in a position that showcases the opposite of that. 

Don't worry too much, though, the owner has confirmed below that the cat landed safely and (if you can believe it) elegantly.  

It's absolutely crazy to think there's so many creatures on Earth that we haven't' ever heard of or have ever seen. However, on the other hand, of course we haven't seen/heard of all the creatures that occupy this ginormous plant with us. There's still so much left to explore!

Below you'll see 23 animals that are totally obscure and get no media attention whatsoever. They may be animals you had no idea even existed, or maybe you know of them all. 

Just a heads up, some of these creatures are indeed the stuff of nightmares. 

Here's a strange story. 

In the Spanish town of Molina de Segura, police got an unusual call about a wildcat on the loose. Imagine their surprise when they realize that the animal in question was no lion at all, just a really big dog, with an odd haircut. 

When the arrived on scene, the police were about to detain the animal (not realizing yet that it was in fact a canine) and scan for a microchip, which revealed the truth. 

Molina de Segura local police told HuffPost that officers were able to reunite the pooch with its owner. "We're investigating and waiting for some results," a spokesperson said in a message that has been translated to English. "We don't know the motive for shaving it that way. For now, there's no justifiable motive. We have to confirm the vaccines and documents are correct, but fortunately, the dog is fine."

We hear a squawking chicken... how about you?

Elizabeth Opdycke, pet owner from Kelso, Washington, was in her kitchen when she heard a strange and her Bengal cat, Clark causally entered the room. 

Just moments later, Clark began to make some unusual sounds that sounded more like a human shouting than any loud-mouthed feline we've ever heard. Elizabeth recorded and uploaded the video to the popular app TikTok, where it's already gathered 1.4 million views. 

Comments on the video claim they hear the cat screaming "Handball!" Elizabeth thinks it sounds like Clark is shouting her husbands name, "Michael."

"I yell at my husband across the house all the time so I thought why wouldn't Clark?," Elizabeth Opdycke tells DailyMail.

What do you hear? 

41 Strange, a Twitter account thats run by authors who share weird photos from about the web, tweeted an image of a penguin standing beside a sketeal version of itself. Well, one Twitter user, @vdeIrossi, was confused by the image writing that they needed "a minute to process" the fact that a majority of a penguins skeleton is mostly neck.

Soon after sharing the initial shock, other Twitter users began to comment their surprise and confusion, as well. 

Now we know, penguins are 98% neck and 2% wobble -- you learn something new everyday! 

Welcome! You've made it through the another tough week (seriously, how is it STILL January?) and you should reward yourself with some of the the funniest, cutest and plain bizarre cat videos on Instagram! Enjoy! If you missed last week's top 5, you can find it here. There are few things in this world better than scrolling through cat hashtags on Instagram. 

But we can't think of any. Nor do we want to. 

A lot of questions come to mind when seeing these science diagrams... the main one being, "why?"

Unfortunately, we do not have the answer. And we may never have the answer. 

Get ready to take one of the weirdest rides. 

There's a subreddit, r/MiniPaws, that is solely dedicated to cats... with small faces. 

MiniPaws describes their pages as, "A home for pets with tiny faces. If your pet has a normal-sized face, just add a pinch of Photoshop."

And voilà! 

It's definitely odd but we can't help but love it.
