1. This, snapped the day before his death, is one of the last pictures ever taken of Pope Francis: 2. And here's what Pope Francis looked like as a young man: Popes: they were once young! Who'da thunk it.

In 1731, King Frederick I of Sweden was gifted with a lion that, after its death, he sent to be stuffed and preserved . The only issue was that the people doing the taxidermy had never actually seen a lion. This, the Lion of Gripsholm Castle, is the finished product: Juuuuuust a bit off.

Turns out he'd just mixed and matched the bones of a rhinoceros, a mammoth, and a narwhal .
16. This is Steven Spielberg on top of Bruce, the animatronic shark that, well, played Jaws in Jaws : And now I'm realizing why the shark in Finding Nemo was named what it was. 17.
