-You're more likely to get a computer virus from visiting religious sites than porn sites.

Ok,

did you know that koalas are prone to exploding during forest fires?
The reason for that is that they are typically drenched in eucalyptus oil due to their diet.
Female koalas can also commit suicide by jumping from trees if a male in heat is on his way up and they don't want to get raped.

There is a family of mushrooms promptly named "Phallacae". Since they remind of... well dicks.
Not only do they look like actual dicks. They are more commonly called stinkhorn, since the smell is so repugnant that you will notice them if they are somewhere near you in the forest. They are also covered in green mucus to attract flies that will eat it. The spores then stick to the flies and they travel on. Think about that next time a fly walk on your food, you might just get some penis mushroom spores in you.

Other species in this fungi-family look like, and smell like, rotten flesh. For the same reason as the above. How they managed to replicate this look and smell, is a mystery that I almost don't want the answer to.
Just to add , fungi and animals are more closely related to one another than either group is to plants . This has been determined through molecular phylogenetic analyses. Fungal cells are organized into tube-like filaments called hyphae. Hyphae are surrounded by a cell wall, and grow from the tips.
So the dick mushroom could be your long distant relative

This thread is delivering.

This is fascinating.
 
Tigers are the king of the jungle not lions. Lions live in the African savanna not the jungle. Tigers live in the jungles of Asia which means tigers and lions never really interact with each other unless via human doing.
 
RIP CurryPanda.

Tigers don't even exist in the wild anymore (>) and by 2040 only humans will be the king of the jungle.

There's still close to 4000 in the wild according to WWF estimates but yeah that's not much.
They will all be killed to make asian boner pills either way. Or was that the rhino?
