  Posted by Redditor u/SaltyPeanut69:

  Crocodiles can gallop. Like a horse. I don't like knowing this, so I am cursing you people with this knowledge as well. Fortunately alligators cannot.

  (#10) Crows Follow The Food, Even When It Is Still Alive

  Posted by Redditor u/TheEldritchHorror:

  One reason that crows and ravens are associated with death is because they would often follow armies as they marched to battle. Being both carrion birds and extremely intelligent, they realized that a large group of armed men marching on one direction meant that there would be a tasty meal of corpses to eat soon afterwards.

  (#8) The Sad Truth About Blobfish

  Posted by Redditor u/songmage:

  Blobfish in its natural habitat looks like a normal fish, but it lives so deep under water that it doesn't use a normal gas bladder to keep itself balanced. Instead, it has a spongy skin that is slightly less dense than water, which becomes damaged and bloated when fishermen bring it up too quickly.

  It's not really the ugliest fish. It has just experienced something worse than one of us being thrown into outer space. Between sea level and space, there's one atmospheric pressure of difference. Between sea level and 2000 feet under water, their upper limit, there's 60 atmospheres of difference.

  (#6) The Details Behind 'Cannibal Island'

  The Nazino Affair 

  In Stalin's Russia, 6,700 people were sent to live in a work camp on an island in a remote part of Russia. They had no supplies, shelter, or tools and if they tried to leave the island they were shot and killed by Russian soldiers.

  It took less than two months before the people on the island, in their desperation, gave in to a cannibalistic holocaust. Over 4,000 people were killed or went "missing" in that time.

  In the end only 300 people made it off the island in one piece.

  It wasn't until the late 80's that a world tribunal even found out the gruesome details of what went on there.
