National Geographic's 'Underdogs' celebrates the misfits and oddballs of the animal kingdom

National Geographic's "Underdogs," narrated by Ryan Reynolds, is shining the spotlight on some of the misfits of the animal kingdom to finally give them the recognition they deserve.

Many of these outcasts and oddballs can be found at Disney World's Animal Kingdom.

One such animal is the humble manatee.

"Manatees aren't gross, they're adorable," Reynolds says.

Manatees are unique because unlike dolphins or whales, they don't have blubber, making them far more sensitive to the cold.

Because of this difference, these gentle giants spend their days in warm coastal waters, just floating around and chowing down on seagrass.

To learn more about these amazing animals, visit Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom, and stream "Underdogs" now on Disney+ and Disney+ on Hulu.

Disney is the parent company of National Geographic, Disney+, Hulu and this ABC station.

Remember the White Candy That Seemed to Appear in Every Grandma’s Christmas Tin?

Divinity is one of those old-fashioned candies that can instantly bring back a kitchen you haven’t stood in for years. Light, fluffy, and almost cloud-like, it’s nothing like dense fudge or chewy caramel. The outside sets with a delicate finish while the center stays soft and airy, with that unmistakable melt-away sweetness that made it a holiday candy-table favorite. It looks deceptively simple, but anyone who grew up watching a grandmother, aunt, or church-supper expert make a batch probably remembers there was a little technique involved. When it turns out right, those snowy spoonfuls look beautiful piled onto a platter—and somehow taste even better after you’ve spent years wondering why people stopped making them.

This Three-Ingredient Chicken Tastes Like a Church Supper Classic

Some recipes earn their place in community cookbooks because they are dependable, affordable, and capable of feeding hungry people without exhausting the cook. This three-ingredient church supper chicken fits that tradition perfectly. The chicken bakes beneath a flavorful coating that helps keep the meat juicy while creating the kind of warm, comforting aroma associated with fellowship halls and Sunday dinners. There are no complicated marinades, hard-to-find seasonings, or multiple pans competing for counter space. Three ingredients go into the dish, and the oven turns them into a family-friendly meal that tastes much more involved. The finished chicken is tender, savory, and ready to share the plate with nearly any traditional side already planned.

Three Ingredients Shouldn’t Turn Into Fudge This Creamy, but Somehow They Do

Fudge has a reputation for candy thermometers, careful timing, and recipes that can go wrong if you look away at the wrong moment. This three-ingredient version skips most of that drama. With just a few simple ingredients and no oven required, it sets into rich, smooth squares with that dense, melt-in-your-mouth texture people expect from homemade fudge. There’s no long baking session and no complicated ingredient list hiding behind the word “easy.” Just creamy chocolate sweetness that can be sliced into little pieces once it’s chilled and firm. It’s the kind of recipe that makes you wonder why homemade candy ever needed to become an all-day kitchen project.
