Bygone Civilizations

History

There are about 100&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/uncontacted-and-indigenous-tribes/mike-rothschild" target="_blank">uncontacted&nbsp;native groups</a>&nbsp;around the world, but none of them are&nbsp;more isolated than&nbsp;the&nbsp;Sentinelese tribe. Located in the northern&nbsp;Andaman Islands of India, these indigenous&nbsp;people conscientiously separate themselves from the outside world. In fact,&nbsp;their&nbsp;isolation has likely saved lives, as nearby tribes have suffered losses at the hands of outsiders who carry&nbsp;diseases or create hostility. Explorers commonly exploit native people and kill the animals they hunt for food.&nbsp;The Sentinelese have not met the same fate, but as civilization continues&nbsp;to encroach, their days may be numbered. The Indian <a href="http://www.lifeaspire.com/7380/government-bans-people-from-visiting-tiny-island/" target="_blank">government encourages</a>&nbsp;outsiders to avoid the natives, though. Their hostility is detrimental to all parties involved.

Hidden deep underground are some of the rarest treasures in all of science.

Totally Bizarre True Stories

Pets

Even with training and domestication, pets have been known to turn on their owners. Sadly, this is all the more common with exotic animals that are difficult or impossible to train, such as lions, bears, and snakes. These stories are tragic, usually of devoted guardians attempting to simply do what can&#39;t be done - tame a wild beast.

Pets who have turned on their humans include a famous chimpanzee, various reptiles, a hippo that inspired a TV special, bears, and even spiders. Some of these cases&nbsp;are the result of&nbsp;obvious bad ideas, but many were just animal owners who had fallen in love with an exotic creature&nbsp;and paid the ultimate price.

To a select group of folks, having a pet snake is a big part of life.&nbsp;A&nbsp;small, unfortunate portion of these reptile lovers become people who were killed by their pet snakes. Pet snakes that turned on their owners usually did so for a good reason; they were underfed, mishandled, or kept in a less-than-secure container. Others <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/stories-of-pets-who-turned-on-their-owners/mike-rothschild" target="_blank">turned on their owners</a> for pettier reasons, like not wanting to be given medication.If you were on the fence about making yourself a proud owner of vicious pet snakes, maybe you should reconsider.

Plants

When most people think of plants, they picture beautiful beds of flowers or sturdy trees to fill out a front lawn. Most don&#39;t picture savage organisms that can destroy you almost instantly - but it&#39;s completely true.&nbsp;

Some deadly&nbsp;plants get into your food, some produce deadly toxins that can be transferred through touch. These most deadly plants seem like they have a mean streak in them, and with the way they go out of their way to end you, you&#39;d be right to be a little afraid.

Some of the most dangerous plants&nbsp;are pretty or unassuming, and can get into your system simply because they seem harmless. After all, who would think a pretty blue flower would kill you upon being picked, or that taking shelter from the rain under a tree would end in blindness?

So, if you&#39;re ready to learn about dangerous plants, and hopefully learn to avoid them, read on. You may find out&nbsp;some of these plants are ones you&#39;ve come in contact with before!

In the heart of the savanna in 1898, two big cats became infamous for following and killing humans. As this pair of lions&nbsp;wreaked havoc on hordes of unsuspecting railway workers, their thirst for blood became&nbsp;internationally known. Choosing humans toiling away at railway construction in&nbsp;Kenya&nbsp;as their prime food source,&nbsp;the Tsavo&nbsp;lions slunk in and out of&nbsp;campsites during the night, feasting on the unsuspecting employees. The workers set up barricades of fire and thorns, but they couldn&#39;t prevent the cats&nbsp;from taking whatever they wanted.

The man-eaters of Tsavo&nbsp;earned their reputation as they trailed&nbsp;the railway lines, leaving a bloody wake of their victims&nbsp;behind them. Although an unusual practice for wild cats, their meals consisted of humans for 10 months straight. Their spree ended when they were finally&nbsp;taken down by an all-out hunt for the beasts.

PETA&nbsp;stands for &quot;People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals&quot;... or so they say. Historically, however, many of their&nbsp;ads and campaigns show more controversially bad things about PETA&nbsp;than good. While they may try to fight for animal rights, and they sometimes succeed, the way they do it, and how they spend their time and money often just emboldens&nbsp;why PETA sucks at their mission. They're well known, sure, but not for the good they do. More often, it's for PR nightmares, skewed ethical decisions, and more wasted finances than you would believe.If you're wondering if there are any legitimate reasons why you shouldn't support PETA, this list only brushes the surface. From encouraging Ben and Jerry's to use&nbsp;<a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2008/sep/26/business/fi-icecream26" target="_blank">human breast milk</a>&nbsp;to <a href="http://www.torontosun.com/2016/05/20/peta-brings-human-bbq-to-ribfest" target="_blank">pretending to grill a naked woman</a> at a BBQ festival, this organization is baffling. Not to mention, these guys kill a whole lot more animals than most shelters do!&nbsp;This may seem like it's being pretty hard on a group that really does aggressively fight for animal rights, but there are just too many reasons PETA&nbsp;is actually bad&nbsp;to overlook. Perhaps support your local no-kill shelter or wildlife rescue hospital instead?

For hundreds of years, history&nbsp;left us wondering what disease killed&nbsp;the Aztecs in the mid-1500s. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/common-myths-about-aztecs/setareh-janda" target="_blank">Many assumed&nbsp;the Aztecs</a> were one of many Central American groups to be wiped out by European diseases <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/jeffrey-amherst-letter-to-henry-bouquet/kellie-kreiss" target="_blank">like smallpox</a>. However,&nbsp;DNA testing has unearthed new evidence about what really killed 80% of the Aztecs.&nbsp;

Scientists extracted DNA from Aztec teeth, and discovered the presence of a strand of Salmonella.&nbsp;Research on climate change in Mexico at the time&nbsp;indicates&nbsp;droughts could have precipitated the spread of disease.

Our Neighbors in the Sea

Although their name would suggest otherwise, killer whales -&nbsp;also known as orcas -&nbsp;are generally thought to be&nbsp;gentle giants of the sea. Free Willy&nbsp;and other whale-centric films have managed to brand orcas as some of the friendliest&nbsp;marine mammals - and films like the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-happened-to-seaworld-after-blackfish-backlash/jessica-bedewi" target="_blank">controversial&nbsp;Blackfish</a>&nbsp;shed light on how they are mistreated in captivity -&nbsp;but in reality, orcas can be brutal and ferocious, hunting everything from small fish to seals and dolphins. Since orcas are extremely intelligent, they often use their developed communication skills and carnivorous instincts to dominate the ocean as apex predators.&nbsp;A group of aggressive orcas have the collective power to&nbsp;take down almost any threat, including humans.&nbsp;

Many may simply attribute orcas&#39; bloodthirsty tendencies to their natural instincts rather than any inherent sadistic preferences. The&nbsp;orca facts listed below, however,&nbsp;may give you a fresh understanding of where orcas get their unsavory nickname. While plenty of people fear sharks, perhaps these seemingly friendly marine mammals are the true, unrecognized&nbsp;threat of the sea.

Another day, another lie from Hollywood. Inaccuracies in the Jurassic Park movies abound, and the biggest scientific errors glare at you with the intensity of a T.rex staring down two kids trapped in a car. As crazy as it sounds, Steven Spielberg never tackled the film with the intent&nbsp;a National Geographic-worthy film.&nbsp;From the original movies and pre-glam Laura Dern to Bryce Dallas Howard running&nbsp;from a dinosaur in heels (seriously, when will <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-female-movie-characters/ranker-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">women in movies</a>&nbsp;wear reasonable shoes?), the popular film saga takes plenty&nbsp;of artistic liberties when it comes to even the simplest dinosaur facts. The biggest scientific errors in Jurassic Park sound surprising,&nbsp;until you recall most <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/science-fiction-movies-with-bad-science/aaron-edwards" target="_blank">sci-fi movies employ bad science</a>.The Jurassic Park&nbsp;series plays the same game, adding traits to dinosaurs that range from bada** (venom spitting) to bizarre (sneezing). But inaccuracies in these films include more than just what Jurassic Park&nbsp;gets wrong about dinosaurs; their &quot;rules&quot; on fossils and genetics unravel faster than strands of DNA encased in amber (yep, even the insects lied in this film).

Who was Christopher McCandless? The young man whose life was chronicled in the book and subsequent film adaptation, Into The Wild, often seems more myth than man. After his untimely passing in 1992, his story made McCandless a larger-than-life sensation and touted his philosophy of simplicity and detachment from material goods. His persona became something that people all over the world over would cling to and adopt as their own dogma; he&#39;s often spoken of in the same breath as wilderness figures like <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/grizzly-man-timothy-treadwell/travis-morgan" target="_blank">&quot;Grizzly Man&quot; Timothy Treadwell</a>, who also met an untimely end seeking solace in the remote Alaskan wilderness.

However, was Into The Wild actually based on a true story? Or was it just <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/grizzly-man-timothy-treadwell/travis-morgan" target="_blank">another romanticized account</a> of a big-hearted dreamer who ultimately lost his life alone in the Alaskan wilderness after he realized it was too late to turn back? When it comes to McCandless, there are the facts, based on his own journal entries and family members&#39; accounts, but then there is also the speculation surrounding the truth, as often is the case when someone passes so young and mysteriously. Delve into the short, strange life of Christopher McCandless.

Adorable baby animals: Everyone loves them. But which young animals are actually the cutest? <a href="/list/cute-bear-cubs/jude-newsome" target="_blank">Bear cubs</a>? Kittens? Puppies? Until now, science has had no way to decide... But if you vote for the sweetest, most cuddly, most adorable baby animals on this CrowdRanked list - and make a list with your own suggestions - perhaps we can finally get an answer.

What makes certain baby animals so cute? Some have argued it&#39;s having facial symmetry, or proportionally larger eyes. Others may cite the degree of difference between the species appearance as an adult vs. in infancy (as with, for example, the hippopotamus.)

The scientific community is not infallible, and sometimes they get stuff just plain wrong. And that doesn't just include scientific theories. There are plenty of creatures people didn't think existed. These animals are all victims of scientific prejudice, animals so bizarre that even the smartest minds of the time could not accept that fact they existed. There are plenty of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/weird-looking-animals/eric-vega?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">crazy looking animals</a> that are real, despite the fact science didn't recognize them at the time of their discovery.Their discoverers were challenged and ridiculed for their absurd “discoveries,”&nbsp;and at least one man committed suicide from the shame.

Old School Cool

This list of the oldest living things on Earth, including the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/longest-living-animals/robert-desalvo" target="_blank">oldest animals</a>, species, and organisms, will definitely make you feel young. You could probably nitpick some of these life forms within a million years here, a million years there... but the fact remains that these animals have been around a loooong time. What are the oldest living organisms on earth? And more importantly how have they stuck around this long?

These ancient organisms have been around for millions, or ever billions of years and have achieved apparent perfection in their environment. Millennia have passed, and they keep on keeping on. Sure, a tail might shorten, an extra tentacle might grow, or they might develop a more streamlined coat of armor... but, like that guy you know with the haircut he&#39;s had since high school, these animals have asked themselves the question: Why change it if it&#39;s working?

These are the oldest living things on the planet, and they just might still be here long after we are nothing more than fossils found buried in a pile of styrofoam take-out boxes.

Smarts

List of the world's smartest animals, in order of their animal intelligence ranking. When putting this list of the smartest animals in the world together, I had to give myself criteria to follow. A complex brain is not a factor so much as the ability to use creative thinking. Sure, these are my own standards, and some might complain that this list is decidedly anthropomorphic– seeing as how I'm judging these smart animals by obvious human criteria. For example, why should creative thinking mean one animal is smarter than another animal that can remember the location of 2,200 individual nuts it buried over 2 years? That's just how I decided to do it. To me, creative thinking makes an animal smart, not memorization. I couldn't limit myself to a list of just the top 10 smartest animals because that would have eliminated some incredibly smart and creative creatures. What is the smartest animal in the world?

We're all more scared of one thing than another. Maybe it's the idea of being mauled by a Grizzly or having spiders crawl in your ear while you're sleeping. Maybe it's just the IDEA that a snake might be nearby. Whatever it is, vote on the animal that scares you the most, and of course, feel free to add any of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/frightening-facts-about-the-world-s-scariest-animals/aaron-edwards?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">scariest animals in the world</a> that might be missing from this list.Any list of the scariest animals in the world will likely include sharks, spiders, and snakes. But what terrifies one person might not scare another at all. It's interesting to look at why certain animals strike fear, and others don't. Is it because many of the animals listed here are potentially deadly? Some spiders' bites can be horrible, but <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/10-amazing-things-about-spiders/analise.dubner" target="_blank">spiders can also be pretty amazing.</a> Sure, but that doesn't explain why cockroaches freak people out (if you don't believe me, just check the list, and see the votes for yourself). It's highly unlikely that you'll be done in by a killer cockroach – so what gives? Well, they're creepy, they're crawly and (depending on where you live) they *can* fly. That qualifies as scary.And yes, some of the scariest animals listed here, we'll never ever encounter in real life. Oh, we might see a great white shark in an aquarium or on TV during <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/full-list-of-shark-week-episodes/reference" target="_blank">Shark Week</a>, but really? The odds of us actually coming face to face with a great white are pretty slim. Still, we've all seen Jaws, so that sucker shoots to the top of the list.
