Hagfish may not have the most appealing name or appearance, but it has a bizarre defense mechanism that makes it a formidable opponent. When threatened, the hagfish will secrete a slime from its glands that expands into a gelatinous mass upon contact with water. This slime suffocates the attacker by clogging their gills or mouth, allowing the hagfish to escape. The hagfish can produce enough slime to fill a large bucket in a few minutes.

The honey badger may be small, but it has the courage and strength of a lion. It has callous skin that can withstand bites, stings, and even machete strokes, and it can dislocate its joints to escape from tight spaces making it almost impervious to attack.

It also has a powerful bite that can crush bones and a tenacious attitude that causes it to keep fighting no matter the size of its opponent. Honey badgers are fearless creatures that can take on lions, hyenas, and humans.

The Komodo dragon is the largest lizard in the world, with a length of up to 10 feet and a weight of over 150 pounds. It has a powerful bite that can rip apart flesh and crush bones, and its saliva is teeming with bacteria that cause sepsis and death.

The Komodo dragon has a keen sense of smell, allowing it to detect prey from several miles away. It can also swim underwater for up to 30 minutes, making it a versatile predator on land and in water.

The sperm whale is the largest predator on earth, with the ability to dive to depths of up to 3,000 meters and hold its breath for up to 90 minutes. It also has the largest brain of any animal, and its head contains a special organ called the spermaceti organ that produces a waxy oil that it uses to create loud clicks and whistles. These sounds bounce off objects, allowing the sperm whale to “see” in the ocean’s dark depths and communicate with other whales.

The golden eagle is a fierce predator with sharp talons and a powerful beak that can kill prey as large as deer and antelope. It has incredible eyesight, can spot prey from miles away, and can dive at up to 200 mph to catch its target. It has large wings that allow it to soar for hours, scanning the landscape for food or threats, and its keen hearing makes it a master at locating prey even in dense foliage.

The bullet ant may be small but has a powerful sting that earns it its name. Its sting has been described as feeling like a gunshot wound, causing severe pain, swelling, and muscle paralysis that can last for days. The bullet ant has a venom that contains a toxin called poneratoxin, which can cause the victim to experience shaking and uncontrollable shivering.

Despite its small size, the bullet ant is considered one of the strongest creatures on earth, able to carry objects more than 100 times its weight.

The migrating monarch butterfly has an impressive ability to navigate long distances. Every year, millions of monarchs travel thousands of miles from Canada to Mexico and back, a feat that seems impossible for such a delicate creature.

They navigate their destination using a combination of the position of the sun, their internal body clock, memory, and sense of smell. They can remember the location of feeding and breeding sites from several generations ago. Also, they can detect the scent of their host plant from several miles away.

As the forward look styling cycle was ending, Chrysler President, Lynn Townsend sought a new logo usable by all of Chrysler's worldwide divisions and subsidiaries automotive and non-automotive, on packaging, stationery, and signage and advertising.

He wanted something that would be immediately identifiable as Chrysler's mark to anyone who saw it, in any culture. In September 1962, the company adopted a logo named Pentastar, made of five triangles arranged so their bases formed the sides of a pentagon.

The Pentastar logo was placed on the lower passenger-side fender of all Chrysler products, including non-US brands, from 1963 into the 1972 model year. It was placed on the passenger
side fender so it could be viewed by passers-by, a subtle method of getting the symbol ingrained in the public's mind: a nameplate has to be read, but a symbol is quickly recognizable without reading. Thus left-hand drive cars had the Pentastar on the right fender, while right-hand drive cars had it on the left.
