When British supercentenarian Reg Dean turned 110... He told newspapers that during his time in India in the 40s, a stranger offered him a “mysterious brown elixir” saying that it would make him live forever.

Astronomer Tycho Brahe's pet elk slept inside his house like a dog and attended parties with him.

2/ The females emerge from their mother's carcass filled with offspring already preparing to consume them.
