Kenenisa Bekele is one of the most dominant distance runners in the history of the sport. He held the 5000m world record from 2004 through 2020. He is even more daunting in the 10,000m; he was undefeated in this discipline from 2003-2011. That streak included four consecutive World Championships. Adding to his legend, the Ethiopian great has also run the second fastest marathon ever.

Special Bonus: the truly eternal Hicham El Guerrouj.

Gelatinous Oceanic Denizens.

Various examples of Jellyfish, and the Portuguese Man o’ War, which is a colonial organism. It is also quite predatory, equipped with deadly stinging tentacles, which can deliver venom potent enough to kill a human being. Steering clear of the Man o’ War would seem to be a sound strategy. Certain Jellyfish happen to be quite capable of inflicting mortal wounds, as well, however.

Someone seems to be thinking very bad thoughts…..

This rather intimidating creature has been known to devour young antelopes and crocodiles. It reaches 5 feet in height, with an eight 1/2 foot wingspan. It will also bite your face off, for you.
