    Only 39?

    With more than 50 countries in the world having presidents, I'd wager the number is far higher than that.

    Like a lot of slow movers, it seems Jonathan is a little 'US-centric'.

    The picture is not a blue whale, it's a humpback.

    At 188 years old, my guess is they meant US presidents (we are on 40 something at the moment)

    Well spotted sir.
    I believe (haven't checked) that the humpback whale's fin is officially the largest organ of any living animal, up to 1.5 tons. Just one fin.

    Don't blame tomcat, blame the Twitterati. It's a copy and paste thread with TC's pics and commentary copied from Twitter.

    How dare he.


    And here I thought he was drawing a unique thread of images and facts from his years of observations and learning.

    To be fair, this thread has shown neither strange, nor unusual.

    But if it stops tc from throwing hissy fits elsewhere, it seems a fair trade.

    Indeed.
    I'm sure there's more than few that might be in agreement.

    It's more an Interesting-photos-ripped-from-the-net thread than a thread about strange and unusual facts. But whatever floats yer boat.
    Perhaps we'll have some interesting (or not) memes ripped from the net to add to it at some point.

    ...please feel free to contribute to this thread when you find something unusual to post...anything, in fact, that isn't sniping at others...

    Great. Now that this has been cleared up, a possible thread title change has been noted by the mods, he can continue on unabated. :-)

    Either way I'm sure we can all agree it's an interesting thread and a worthy contribution.
    Thanks TC.

    The beautiful ring-tailed cat is native to parts of the USA and Mexico. They are rarely seen, so they're far less known than their cousin, the raccoon.

    This dog is a chimera - a combination of a Yellow Lab embryo and a Black Lab embryo.

    Scientists hope that they can use DNA from a preserved 12,000-year-old extinct cave lion cub, to bring this extinct species back to life.
