Oh rats! In 1800s New England, it was customary to write a letter to the rats infesting a home asking them to leave! In 1954, an Ohio boy successfully mailed his chilly pet chameleon in a 3 cent, pre-postaged envelope to the Orlando, Florida, Postmaster, with instructions to release it. As of 2015, it is illegal in New York to take a selfie with a tiger or any other big cat.
