Earlier this month, a live giant squid (Architeuthis dux) was found washed up on a shore at the Ugu beach in Obama, Japan. The little giant, measuring just over 3 metres (9 feet) in length, is considered small for its kind compared to some of its bigger tentacled friends who have been recorded to measure up to a whopping 18 metres (59 feet) in length. Japanese authorities recognized straight away that this was no ordinary seaside discovery as these elusive creatures inhabit the deep ocean and aren’t know to just pop up for a visit. Their rare appearances and unfathomable size raise increasing…

This incredible frog is so enormous that it has perplexed Twitter as a whole! Even more people questioned whether it even existed.

However, even if it’s difficult to believe, the internet can connect us with real people and things all across the world. That’s what happened when a photo of a frog went viral on the internet. People don’t believe the frog is real because it appears to be…

The seven-bedroom home also has a fishing lake, tennis court, golf tee and green, vegetable plot — and enough room for a full-size footie pitch in its 20 acres.

There is even a cottage within the grounds where friends and family can stay if he runs out of room in the main…
As Liverpool were knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid after a 1-0 defeat, James Milner managed to break a record set by David Beckham in 2013. Milner managed to become the oldest English player to ever start in the tournament’s history since the Manchester United legend did so for Paris Saint-Germain a decade ago. James Milner is often lauded for his incredible longevity, considering he burst onto the scene for Leeds United as a mere teenager. While Milner would be gutted to see Liverpool crash out of the Champions League against Real Madrid, he can take solace in the fact that he outdid…
Alexis Sanchez seems to be the latest player suffering from the No 7 curse at Manchester United. The Chile star is currently enduring the worst run of his career and was even left out of the squad by Jose Mourinho at the weekend after the United boss subsided to calls for him to be dropped from supporters. Sanchez was also hooked with a quarter of the game still left to play during Tuesday’s Champions League draw with Valencia and looks to be a shell of the player that lit up the Premier League with Arsenal. Cristiano Ronaldo is the last player to succeed wearing the No 7…
When a giant wood moth, the heaviest of all known moths, appeared on the side of a school building in Queensland, Australia, the children were enthralled – even though they were used to a diverse local wildlife. This giant wood moth was found at Mount Cotton state school in Queensland by builders. While not uncommon, giant wood moths are rarely seen by humans in Australia. Photo: Mount Cotton State School Children and staff members at the Mount Cotton State School, an elementary school in Queensland, Australia, are rather used to spotting wallabies, koalas and snakes in the natural environment as…
Watch out for those fists! Photo: Silke Baron/Wikimedia Commons In April 1998, a fierce creature named Tyson smashed through the quarter-inch-thick glass wall of his tank. He didn’t get far, however, as he was soon subdued by nervous attendants and moved to a more secure facility. Still, it was rather a big feat considering that, unlike his heavyweight namesake, Tyson was only four inches long. The daring escape attempt is all the more remarkable as the animal accomplished it without claws. Instead, it used its powerful pair of what scientists call “raptorial appendages,” which end in a brutal hammer or…
Photographer Chris van Wyk garnered viral success with his pictures of an algae-covered “punk” Mary River turtle. The media attention he purposefully generated affected decisions related to preserving the habitat of this unique species. The Mary River turtle breathes in a special way, earning it the nickname “bum-breather”. Image courtesy of Chris van Wyk The now iconic Mary River turtle is just one of the many species endemic to the Mary River flowing in Queensland, Australia. This exceptional animal breathes underwater using specialized glands in its reproductive organs, allowing it to remain submerged for up to 72 hours – an…
One sunny afternoon in the heart of the jungle, a greedy wild elephant was on the hunt for his next sweet fix. He had a craving for sugarcane and knew just where to find it. As he made his way through the lush foliage, he noticed a group of trucks passing by, each one carrying loads of sugarcane. Without a second thought, the elephant ran out onto the road, hoping to snatch a few pieces of the sweet treat. But as he approached the trucks, he saw something that made him stop in his tracks. A small family of monkeys…
