My current favorite Wiki pages:

Skunk. In particular, this description of a skunk from The Jesuit Relations:

“But it is so stinking and casts so foul an odor, that it is unworthy of being called the dog of Pluto. No sewer ever smelled so bad. I would not have believed it if I had not smelled it myself. Your heart almost fails you when you approach the animal; two have been killed in our court, and several days afterward there was such a dreadful odor throughout our house that we could not endure it. I believe the sin smelled by Saint Catherine de Sienne must have had the same vile odor.”

Grain entrapment. The diagram is fun.

Hippopotamus. They’re surprisingly dangerous.

Centralia mine fire. This thing has been burning forever.
