This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

They say the same thing about horses because of their kidney to body size ratio but it's simply not true. It might help them survive on saltwater longer than a human would but it's still a death march.

I could see that since horses require a salt lick anyway.

I feel like that just because of their body size and the fact that they sweat.

Not a great white either. Basically unchanged for hundreds of millions of years and absolute apex in every way.

No longer apex. I can kill a Great White... With plastic rubbish!
