The Wollemi pine was known only from ancient fossils until a park ranger rappelled into a canyon outside Sydney in 1994 and found a grove still alive, and the exact location is now a state secret guarded by Australian rangers

In 1994, a New South Wales park ranger abseiled into a hidden canyon outside Sydney and found a grove of conifers last seen in the fossil record 90 million years ago. The Wollemi pine's wild location remains undisclosed — and for biological reasons that have nothing to do with theatre. Read more

Rolex has no owner because of a 1945 foundation a grieving widower built after his wife died — and it’s now the company’s sharpest competitive weapon

When Hans Wilsdorf's wife Florence died in 1944, the Bavarian-born founder of Rolex built a Geneva foundation that has owned every share of the company since 1960.

The Pistol shrimp snaps its claw so fast it creates a bubble that briefly reaches 4,700°C — nearly the surface temperature of the sun — and stuns prey with a flash of light the animal itself cannot see
