Just for fun: Weirdest stories of 2012


National Geographic compiled a list of the ten weirdest nature stories of 2012. Check out their Weird & Wild files to see them all, but here's my favorite:

The maned lioness. 
Yes, this is a female lion. These extremely rare specimens probably received an overabundance of androgens in the womb. You can read the story here.
