Or it can be a simple hole in the sand! Nests can huge, and tiny. They can be found hidden away in hollowed-out trees, or perched on open windswept sea cliffs.

Animals with misleading names

The animal kingdom is filled with wonderful creatures. However, they can be equally confusing due to their misleading names. When it comes to animals, a variety of characteristics can be wrapped up in a common name, including where they live, what they eat, their color, or, more broadly, what they look like. But sometimes all of these categories can become misleading. For example, did you know that flying foxes aren't really foxes at all? Intrigued?

The stories of the tallest humans in history

Can you imagine living in a world tailored for toddlers? That's probably how people suffering from gigantism feel. Gigantism is a real condition, and although extremely rare, some people do suffer from it and try to live a life in a world where virtually everyone is shorter than them. The condition is caused by an excess of growth hormone (GH) which is sometimes associated with tumor growths on the pituitary gland. People with gigantism usually grow to be 2.1 to 2.7 m (7 to 9 ft) tall. Sometimes this condition is accompanied by acromegaly later in life (or it can happen on its own), which is a disorder that results from an excess of GH after the growth plates have closed (whereas in gigantism, it's during childhood), which can result in enlarged forehead, jaw, and nose. In this gallery, we look back at the real-life human "giants" in history and their fascinating stories. Click through!

The best and worst human foods to feed your dog

Our pets are part of the family, which means that every now and again we want to spoil them.

However, we want to make sure that the foods we're treating them to aren't going to cause more harm than good. Some human foods are actually incredibly healthy for dogs, and can be included in your dog's regular diet. Others, however, are extremely dangerous—and it's not just chocolate you need to be aware of.
