Ducks mate by raping.

The male's penis keeps getting longer and longer while the female's vagina has like thorns and shit.

LOOK IT UP, PEOPLE.

got ya covered


I saw a squirrel with a chipmunk hanging out of its mouth in downtown Toronto. It was a life changing experience.

I always thought they're all generic rodents... man stuff like that can really open your eyes

the horrifying dark side
 
The black dragonfish isn't really an adorable creature to begin with, but I found some interesting info about the species.

The black dragonfishes (Family Idiacanthidae) are long, slender fishes, which live in marine waters down to about 1000m deep. These fishes are sexually dimorphic (the males and females look different). The female has small eyes, long fang-like teeth, and chin barbel. The male is much smaller (5cm maximum length vs 40cm for the female) it lacks teeth, lacks the chin barbel, has a non-functional gut, and is dark brown rather than black. It appears that the male's main role is reproduction.

Like many deepsea fishes, the Black Dragonfish can produce its own light. This species has tiny photophores (light producing organs) scattered over its body and two rows of larger photophores along the side of the body. The chin barbel of the female also has a slender luminous tip. This may be used to attract prey.

Larval black dragonfishes are most unusual. They are long, slender, transparent fishes that have their eyes at the ends of long stalks, which can be up to half the length of the body.

A friend of a friend was retrieving a frisbee. There was a squirrel the size of a small (but fat) adult cat sitting near it. As the guy approached, the squirrel held its ground and stared at him. When the guy reached for the frisbee, the squirrel lept forward with lightning speed and tore his hand open, then walked onto a nearby log and started... well, taunting him.
Obviously an ambush, lol.
When we left, the guy's hand was still bleeding profusely.
 
I'm pretty sure that I saw on Reading Rainbow or some PBS show many a decade ago that lady bugs ate pests that killed crops, so farmers release lady bugs into their fields.

So yeah, I already knew that they ate other bugs. Good for them. And spiders. Keep killing those mosquitoes, please.
 
Goddamn link to Cracked. Now I've got three Cracked tabs open and the night is still young. Why don't you throw in tv tropes while you're at it?
 
why hasn't anyone mentioned how hamsters eat their young that shit would be traumatizing to bear witness to.

In hindsight, I think that may have been the reason my first grade teacher had them in class.
This was the same teacher who punched me. Craaaazy bitch. Looked like the black Bride of Frankenstein.
One of the babies that didn't get eaten somehow ended up dead in a kid's desk. Good times.
 
The best part about squirrels is how they eat birds. When I was a kid I'd occasionally overhear my grandpa saying how much he hated red squirrels. I finally asked him why he hated them so much, and he told me this: One day while walking around his backyard he happened to glimpse a squirrel atop a tree. It was eating something that looked like a nut. He edged a bit closer to get a better look. No, it wasn't eating a nut. It was a baby bird. You see, he thought it was a nut because of how it was eating. It would take a bite, rotate the bird, then take another bite. Imagine a squirrel eating a walnut and you'll get the picture.
