For decades, people thought Komodo dragons weren’t venomous.
The story was that their kills came from “dirty mouths” and bacteria alone.
Turns out… that was wrong.
Komodos have venom glands, making them one of the few venomous lizards on Earth.

This is an animal. And it’s not a jellyfish.
It’s a comb jelly (ctenophore), one of the most ancient animals on Earth.
And yes… it makes its own light. Many comb jellies actually produce bioluminescent flashes when disturbed

Pronghorns are the second fastest land animal on Earth. But there’s no predator in North America today that can catch them.
That’s because they didn’t evolve for modern predators.
They evolved alongside the now-extinct American cheetah.

Meet the African unicorn.
For a long time, people thought that’s exactly what it was: a myth.
Local communities had known about okapis for centuries, but Western scientists dismissed the stories. The okapi wasn’t officially described until 1901.

Can we talk about giraffes for a second?
Giraffes need an incredibly strong heart and extreme blood pressure just to pump blood all the way up to their brain! And their coat? Every giraffe’s pattern is unique, basically a fingerprint in spots!

Can we talk about how the bongo antelope looks like it belongs in another era? It feels ancient in the best way.
Both females and males have horns, which is pretty rare for antelope!

This little fluffball looks like a rodent…
but it’s actually more closely related to rabbits and hares than rodents.
Meet the pika. These tiny mountain mammals live high up in rocky slopes and spend their summers racing against time to survive winter.

Yes, a pink dolphin!
We all picture dolphins as grey or blue…
but some of them are actually pink..
This is the Amazon river dolphin 🐬 They’re born grey and slowly turn pink as they age, partly from blood flow, scars, and life in muddy rivers.

We all know the red fox…
but have you ever heard of the pampas fox?
They are native to South America, and they look like a classic fox at first glance, but it’s actually part of a completely different South American lineage.

Have you seen this creature before? A raccoon? A dog? A wolf?
Meet the tanuki, also known as the raccoon dog. They are actually wild canids, not raccoons at all. Native to East Asia, they’re one of the most unusual members of the dog family.

If you live in Australia, you’ve probably seen a possum at night…
but have you seen a baby hitching a ride on its mum’s back?
Australian possums are marsupials, not rodents, and mums carry their joeys in a pouch before they start clinging on like this.

Meet the Caribbean reef octopus.
They're known to change color in 0.3 seconds and squeeze through openings the size of their beak!
They're problem-solvers & and one of the biggest octopus out there!

When people think of rattlesnakes in North America, they often imagine one species.
But the Western Diamondback rattlesnake is its own desert specialist, and one of the largest rattlesnakes on the continent, often reaching 1.5–2 metres in length.

Have you ever been snorkeling and spotted Nemo darting in and out of a sea anemone?
They might look like plants or underwater flowers, but sea anemones are actually animals, closely related to jellyfish and corals!

The largest animal to have ever lived on Earth!
Even the biggest dinosaurs were smaller than the blue whale
An adult blue whale can reach over 30 metres in length and weigh up to 180 tonnes, yet it feeds almost entirely on tiny krill
