My little sister always confused lions and tigers so I'd correct her. Then we went to the zoo when she was 15, saw a tiger and tried to throw a swing at me because she somehow interpreted my corrections as 'tigers aren't real'.

The tail of the platypus is fairly different from a beaver's and the front paws have a kind of retractable webbing not found in any other animal, certainly not duck. The bill might resemble a duck's but cutting into it you find it's flesh covering bone, not like any bird.

I thought vampire bats were a myth for a while when I was 7. I knew bats were real obviously but I thought the vampire thing was just something my brother made up to scare me. Wouldn't their bite wake up the animal and get them killed? I would notice if something that big landed on me and bit me. So clearly it doesn't make any sense.

On a side note some chick I use to work with thought slugs were just snails looking for a new shell like a hermit crab. I couldn't convince her otherwise because at the time I didn't have the common sense to ask her where she thought the shells came from if they didn't make them themselves.

Black bears are fucking pussies. You might as well be complaining that no one talks about squirrel maulings.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colossal_squid_specimens_and_sightings
They were thought to exist for a while with a small amount of evidence (two tentacles that were found in a sperm whale's stomach in 1925), but since the '70s more parts were found until finally a full, live one in 2007.

And there's evidence of bigger ones existing than the current biggest specimen. Sleep tight.

Not really, but I'm still amazed narwhales are real animals. It literally has a unrealistically long unicorn and swims in the sea. It's what an autistic 6 year old girl would draw in her diary as a made-up animal.

I had been under the impression for the longest time as a kid that pic related had been extinct since prehistoric times since I only ever saw fossilized ones in museums and stuff.
Blew my mind when I first saw a photograph of a living Nautilus.

I think I remember people believe it was extinct, and then it was "rediscovered" recently. Same with the coelacanth.

In a similar vein, I thought that the word misshapen was miss-happen instead of mis-shapen.

Not me, but my nephew thought capybaras were some kind of mythical animal till I showed him some pictures of some. Dunno how he didn't know about them, they're on nature shows all the time, and he's generally a smart kid.

As a Britfag i find it hard to believe they can be so dangerous. They just always look goofy and have always been portrayed as so.

I thought narwhals were made up because they were kind of a meme when I was younger and I never heard of them in any context other than cartoon comics and videos on the internet.
I also thought elephants were proper massive. Like as big as those elephant things are in that battle in Return of the King. When I first saw an elephant irl I assumed it was a baby. I was so disappointed when I found out the truth.

My brother honestly thought red pandas were something photoshopped. To be fair though the first image I show him was one standing up.

I was kayaking in the puget sound when I was a kid and this eel sort of thing with bright red eyes swam at the surface past my kayak. no one believed me

also saw that day: dogfish rolling their dorsals at the surface

did you know the men are tiny, and instead of sex, they bite into the side of the female, literally dissolve their face with acid, fuse with the female, and then die off until only the testicles remain.
The female later uses them on herself.
THAT is unreal.

My friends mom also thought armadillo were cow sized because of a statue she saw.

Dude that would be sweet. Armadillos are adorable, and I just imagine a cow sized one rolling up in a ball and like, rolling down a hill.

that would be terrifying. a 1 ton boulder comes smashing down on you and your family as youre having a picnic or some shit

Magical chinks and Ooogabooga Africans consider it a delicacy when prepared with the tears of child soldiers.

So wait, your family was extremely poor, so instead of working, your mother spent all day on her ass outside the library eating sandwhiches?

Why would your mom go to the library while your sister was in school? Or more likely, why did your sister need to go to the library outside of school at such a young age she couldn't be trusted on public transport?

Why did you count its testicles?
