    Koalas are the only animal I know of that regularly die from bursting into flames. Eucalyptus oil is highly flammable and they are covered in it all the time, so occasionally they just immolate if the sun hits them the wrong way

      Okay but as often as humans cover themselves in something highly flammable and then accidentally immolate? I bet we take the prize.
