There’s no doubt that before finally disembarking all the animals, Noah made a brief, undocumented stop in Australia. There are two reasons for this: first, few creatures would actually survive long-term exposure to Australia’s incredibly dangerous fauna.

Second, Australia is home to some of the most bizarre animals, the mere sight of which sometimes makes you think the photo was the result of a failed ChatGPT prompt. However, nature has a wonderful sense of humor, and our selection of incredible animals today is further proof.

Of course, the great naturalist Sir David Attenborough, whose centenary we recently celebrated, would’ve said it much better than I, but I’ll give it a try. Our planet is full of incredible, stunning, and completely unique creatures that sometimes look as if they were simply meant to make us smile. But in reality, of course, this isn’t true.

Millions of years of evolution have done their job – and even those utterly ridiculous-looking horns, protruding fangs, or strange, variegated colors have always served a purely utilitarian function. They helped animals survive, here and now. And over millennia, these mechanisms have been honed to absolute perfection.

Almost two centuries ago, Charles Darwin, observing insects on the windswept Madeira Islands, discovered an interesting pattern. Insects with medium-sized wings demonstrated the best survival on the archipelago. Those with small and short wings were simply blown into the ocean by strong winds, while very long wings sometimes broke under the force of the elements.

This is precisely how evolution works – for example, the prominent teeth of certain rodents historically helped them crack the tough shells of the most nutritious nuts. And the unusual eye position of some herbivores allows them to maximize their field of view, preventing any predator from sneaking up undetected.

Well, the entire history of life on Earth has been one continuous “arms race” between predators and herbivores. For every new advancement in offensive camouflage, equally impressive hearing evolved over the centuries. Increasingly dangerous fangs were countered by instantaneous launch speeds, and predators responded to increasingly sophisticated visual evasions by developing keener senses of smell.

This race sometimes continued even after one of its participants disappeared. A classic example is the American pronghorn antelope, which can maintain speeds of up to 60 miles per hour over relatively short distances and can leap up to 20 feet. Biologists long wondered why pronghorns possessed such phenomenal abilities, but paleontologists finally provided the answer.

The fact is that just a few million years ago, the American continent was inhabited by Miracinonyx, a distant relative of the cheetah. It’s not surprising that such a fast predator forced pronghorns to perfect their jumping and running skills…

As for that “notorious” Australian fauna, its development is largely explained by the continent’s geographic isolation and the absence of many predators for many millennia. As a result, many species of relatively primitive mammals that have long since become extinct on other continents have survived in Australia.

The platypus, echidna, quokka, koala, and wombat – all are unique animals whose existence, by and large, would be impossible outside of Australia, and which evolved precisely in the unique natural conditions of this continent. Today, we simply admire their appearance, while some of us don’t even believe that such animals actually exist.

Yes, nature has a peculiar sense of humor, so the appearance, habits, and lifestyles of many animals truly make us wonder, “How did they even survive?” Well, as we see, they not only survived, but are actually doing quite well – especially when we and our activities don’t interfere.

In any case, we just hope you enjoy this collection of incredible and unique animals. So, please enjoy it, and maybe add your own ideas about such amazing creatures, in case you, too, have something to say!

Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks is still known as the nicest guy in all of Hollywood. And it doesn’t seem that this will change any time soon. At the 2020 Golden Globe ceremony on Sunday, Hanks got the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Cecil B. DeMille Award for Achievement in Film, and it was the perfect opportunity for people to speak up about their real-life encounters with the actor.

We’ve collected some of the best stories about people meeting Hanks in real life, so scroll down and enjoy the heart-warming experience. Don’t be shy about leaving us a comment with your thoughts about Hanks and, if you’ve ever met him in real life, we’d love to hear your tale.

Also make sure you have a read through our earlier articles about how Tom Hanks is the nicest guy in Hollywood, as well as how wholesomely Hanks reacts to some of the nicest tweets.

Numerous celebrities wear two radically different masks: one in public and one in private. Heck, we could even say that most people in the world behave very differently around strangers and their loved ones.

But Hanks is one of those rare individuals who is always genuine, no matter who he’s talking to. Another upside is that the actor being his honest self is great for everybody because he’s a good person. Compassionate. Kind-hearted. Caring. He’s the perfect stranger to help us out when we’ve had a string of bad luck and the perfect neighbor.

Hanks is known for spending lots of time with his fans. He sometimes sends them gifts. And he even answers fan mail. With a typewriter. Oh yeah, he’s that awesome.

When we look at Hanks, there’s a small intuitive feeling that there’s something oddly familiar about him. And we’re not wrong to think that. After all, Hanks’ family is related to the 16th president of the United States—Abraham Lincoln himself. When you realize that, some things just click into place, don’t they?

“The members of my branch of the family are either cousins or in-laws or poor relations. So when I was at school, guess which president I was always doing essays on,” Hanks joked.
