For 20 years, a cat served as mayor of an Alaskan town.

In 1997, an orange cat names Stubbs became honorary mayor of the Alaskan town of Talkeetna. With a population of 772 in 2000, it would not have taken too many votes to earn the position, and the small town did not actually have a real human mayor.

But Stubbs proved adept at the role, gaining fans from around the world and "serving" in the position for years, greeting tourists and becoming a beloved symbol of the town until his death in 2017.

Oysters can change from one gender to another and back again.

Oysters are a protandric species, which means that they don't remain male or female over the course of their lifetime. Instead, they change genders. With reproductive organs that contain both eggs and sperm, oysters first release sperm when they mature before switching over to eggs once they get a little older.
