This article was written for two main reasons. I personally had to endure a war between myself and an animal. A decade ago, I fought a bull dog for 30 minutes, trying to distract it. I would not be in one piece if it were not for a neighbour and a driver who helped me get rid of the problem, yet in the wrong way.
1. Steve Irwin vs. Stingray:
Better known as the Crocodile Hunter, Irwin was a wild man who performed stunts involved species of many kinds. His show the Crocodile Hunter was shown in 130 countries and had 50 million viewers. Sadly, his love for animals came to an abrupt end. He was pierced in the chest by a stingray and died.
2. Shannon Ainslie vs. Great White Sharks:
Not many people battle the great white sharks and can live to tell the tail. While surfing with his brother and friends, Ainslie was ambushed by 2 Great White Sharks. Thankfully, he survived. With 3 stitches and two reattached fingers, Ainslie still holds scars from the ambush. This; however, does not keep him from surfing.
3. Man vs. Kangaroo:
This is one of the most bizarre fights I’ve ever heard of. In China, a man dresses up like a clown and fights a kangaroo. Kangaroos are great fighters especially their forepaw jabs, grappling, and their own unique style of kickboxing.
4. Man vs. Leopard:
A number of people in the town of Nisak decided to thrown stones at a leopard to distract it. The leopard caught on to them and kidnapped a man who was one of those disturbing the leopard. The spectators ended up saving the man and were able to get rid of the leopard by clubbing it to death.
5. James Morrow vs. Alligator:
This fight ended well. Morrow was snorkeling in Florida. While snorkeling, he found his head inside of an alligator. He is one of the few to have lived to survive. The alligator put Morrow’s head to its taste buds and let go.

Whenever we see a pair of twins on the street, we cannot help but stare because really, it must be fascinating to grow up with somebody who looks exactly like you. The following are the ten most exceptional out of the lot.
1. Albert and Ebenezer Fox
They were known for their poaching abilities during the 1800s. These identical twins came from a good family but for some reason, turned to crime related activities. They got each other out of trouble all the time and never went poaching together.
2. Alicia and Jasmin
A German man and a Jamaican-English woman gave birth to a pair of twins in 2006. While Alicia’s skin is dark and her hair is black, Jasmin’s skin is fair and her hair is blonde. A Genetic expert explained that this happened because the mother’s genes which determine what the skin color of her babies will be, were mixed.
3. Richard and Damien Powles
These twins were considered to be telepathic after several experiments were carried out on them. One such experiment involved Richard plunging his hand into freezing cold water and while his respiration rate changed, so did Damien’s.
4. Tamara Rabi and Adriana Scott
Tamara Rabi and Adriana Scott were given up for adoption shortly after they were born. Both adoptive parents kept this secret from them but surprisingly, neither knew that the sisters were growing up only 20 miles away from each other. When they turned 20, mutual friends started figuring it out and made the two meet. Even though they did not grow up together, they had very similar traits and tastes.
5. June and Jennifer Gibbons
These two are also known as the Silent Twins. The twins were inseparable from the time they were born but spoke only to each other in a language that nobody else understood. They did not interact with other children and the situation got so bad, that they had to be separated. However, this only made the problem worse and the two got withdrawn and catatonic. After they got reunited, they came to a decision that one of them had to die. Jennifer took the plunge after which June started speaking and communicating with others.
Jennifer Gibbons’ death: Within hours after the twins’ release in 1993, Jennifer died of sudden inflammation of the heart (reported initially as viral myocarditis). There was no evidence of drugs or poison in her system. To this day, Jennifer’s death remains a mystery to this day.
