Siamese cats are widely regarded as sleek and attractive creatures today, but they once had crossed eyes and kinked tails! Bred in what is today Thailand, the reason these cats had such a strange appearance became the subject of several legends.

Jellyfish, though beautiful, can sting with their tentacles if they brush against you when you're swimming in the ocean.
