"The mantis is an interesting creature.\nTurns out, it's got five eyes. A 180-degree head rotation, too. And, if a female gets bored during sex, she'll bite her mate's head off.* \nUp top, YouTube user zefrank1 breaks down some of the coolest, grossest and WTF-est mantis factoids. The video is part of his \"True Facts Thursdays\" series, where he analyzes an arbitrary subject \u2014 like a land snail, seahorse or tarsier \u2014 in a voice as butter-melting as Morgan Freeman's.  \nSEE ALSO: True, Hilarious Facts About the Life of Morgan Freeman\n\nWhat other interesting animal facts do you know?

The Botfly in My Head\n\nTry to watch this video and refrain from scratching your head for the rest of the day. Hey, you know what's better than one botfly? Two, naturally. \nDoes anyone else think \"The Botfly in My Head\" sounds like a potential sitcom?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Eyeball Tattoo\nYeah, the narration gets a little wonky toward the end, but the video is pretty self-explanatory. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Lex &amp; Terry \u2014 Taint's Gross, Disgusting Infected Wound\nThis one is all about the buildup, the anticipation of something horrible you know is going to happen. Start guessing now what color the ooze will be.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Big Disgusting Booger Pulled out of Nose\nNot only is the payoff of this video fantastic, but the thought of metal instruments that deep in the nasal cavity (a la Total Recall) is enough to get us squirming.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Drainage Of Large Abscess \u2014 Elbow Joint\n\"The pus is oozing out\u2026oozing out. A lot of pus.\" The maddeningly calm narrator and excess of loose skin make for a one-two punch of horror. It just keeps coming.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Homeless Man's Leg Covered in Maggots\nThe cheeky self-awareness of the participants in this clip, from the TLC program Trauma: Life in the ER, doesn't make the concept of a \"maggot boot\" any less nauseating. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Huge Cyst Extraction\nThe king of all cyst extractions \u2013 an auspicious title, to be sure \u2013 pops like a champagne cork before spewing what looks like an entire tube of toothpaste. Delicious.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Olympic Weight Lifting Accident Ouch!!! [Arm Break]\nOne of these seems to happen every four years. You know, this is never a problem in curling.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. I Removed My Toenail With Pliers, Gross!\nJust do it already!Ideally viewed with this soundtrack.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Man Takes the IPECAC Challenge\nEverybody's got his price, and maybe that's what makes this video the worst. Yes, the content is shocking, raw and disgusting, but humiliation underlies it all. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy of YouTube, zefrank1"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
