A species of shark that was discovered in 1976 when a U.S. naval ship caught one on its anchor. Scientists dubbed it megamouth, for obvious reasons. Since then, the shark has been proven to be extremely elusive. Only 100 specimens of them have so far been found, but every one that can be examined reveals new information about these strange sharks.
Megamouth sharks can grow up to be 18 ft. (5.5 cm) long. To fuel such a huge body, it needs a lot of food, but, surprisingly l, this big fish is not a big game Hunter. It's a filter feeder and most of its diet consists of tiny, planktonic animals, which it strains from the water.

The false depiction of Jesus Christ that appears in paintings and all different types of media. Most people don't know the fact that Jesus in reality was an ancient Palestinian Jew. He wasn't the handsome white guy that's portrayed in movies and artwork.
It's that awkward moment when the Ku Klux Klan and all the racist Christians find out that the White Jesus they've been worshipping is actually a Middle Eastern Arab and not white at all.

A monotreme found that's found in eastern Australia and Tasmania. When the skin of a young platypus was sent to Britain for examination in 1798, scientists thought it was a fake. The zoologist George Shaw (1751-1813), who worked at the British museum, even checked it for stitches, believing that it had been sewn together from parts of other animals (you can still see the scissor marks that he made on the pelt today). However, these creatures have been proven to be real. With a beaver-like tail, duckbill, flippers, and spiky fur, these must surely win the award for being one of Australia's strangest creatures.
The platypus is one of the world's few poisonous mammals. When trouble strikes, it squirts venom out through a hollow spur on its ankle (only males carry poison and they're more likely to use it on other males during the breeding season than on people).
