It’s far too easy to forget just how endlessly mysterious, at times terrifying, and other times downright beautiful nature can be. Life takes on a seemingly infinite number of forms. This planet is filled with an awe-inspiring number of fascinating creatures, plants, trees, etc, and we’re fortunate enough to live in a time where we’re documenting more of it than ever before. Seriously, if there’s one thing that we know about nature for certain, it’s that there’s so much of it that we really don’t know. At its core, nature is humbling. Let’s take a look at some of the most magical and then undeniably odd moments from nature that we could find.
1. Not every creature in nature is fearless.
2. A win for the cockroaches.
3. Honestly, kind of terrifying.
4. Finally, some good news.
Nature pulling through in the clutch here. While there are plenty of unrecognizable animals out there, this creauture definitely looks like an actual dragon.
Matt has spent over the last 8 years as both a writer and editor, working in Seattle and Brooklyn, where he is now based. He loves escaping the tirelessly fast pace of the “Mad Apple” that is NYC by taking walks and runs through parks where he’s able to catch up on the latest tea about society from the city’s ever chatty, always hungry, occasionally maniacal, pigeons. They always have a lot to say. When he’s not taking his urban nature strolls, or dutifully combing the deepest rabbit holes of the internet to find the content that’s worth sinking your mind’s teeth into, he’s likely holed up at a dark-lit dive bar with a new book and/or some friends, or just easily he could be on the hunt for the next addition to his steadily growing plant family.
