Animals

Often, people only do nice things to get something in return. These are the stories of people who simply wanted to make the world a little better. Like one woman who stops whenever she finds a penny and does the same bizarre ritual every time—but wait till you out why she does it.

We tend to think of animals as cute, adorable little creatures but some are far more intelligent, cunning, and interesting than most people realize. One freshwater parasite has a sinister life mission. First, it gets inside its prey and takes over its brain—but what happens next is the stuff of real nightmares.

We love our furry friends for their personalities, whether they’re being sweet, misbehaving, or just plain weird. Here are the most unbelievable pets.

Cats make fantastic pets...so much so, that it can be easy to forget that they are absolutely fascinating animals in their own right.
