40 Times Mother Nature Proved To Be Scary As Hell (WARNING: This List Might Be Too Scary For You)
Sun is shining, birds are chirping, and the living is easy. We’d like to think of nature this way. But it moves in mysterious ways and it’s called Mother Nature for a reason.
You see, upon a closer look, things are hella odd and creepy out there. Think of it as a horror movie of its own league starring sci-fi-like creatures, unusual anomalies, bizarre plants and animals, and sightings that push you to the brink of saying "I’m out."
Bored Panda has compiled a spine-chilling fresh list for your next nightmare. Get ready for sweaty palms and don’t say I didn’t warn you. Before you are done and safely out of this whole ordeal, there’s part 1, part 2, and part 3 waiting one click away. No NOPEs allowed after this point.

Our planet is populated with both odd and amusing plants and animals. Some of them have been surrounded by myth and misunderstanding, and some we still know little about. David Attenborough’s series “Natural Curiosities” has revealed the remarkable evolutionary traits behind some of the most mystical wonders of the natural world.
Some of the quirky animals include flamingos, who survive in hot volcanic lakes by filtering out microscopic algae; salamanders that can regrow entire limbs; problem-solving crows that design intricate tools; and hippos, who secrete a vivid red mucus that acts as sunscreen.

I Heard Some Noise On The Roof This Morning
In an interview with Radio Times, David Attenborough recounted the particularly peculiar case of a greenfly that’s nearly all female. “Inside they are already pregnant. And inside the baby that’s inside the mother there’s another one. So you’ve got three generations all in one animal.” As bizarre as it sounds, that’s a very common insect we don’t really think of much.
Then There Was This Guy
I Think I Found The Entrance To The Spider-Verse
I Noticed Some Shrimp Missing...
My brain is still trying to process this and is failing miserably.
Imagine finding an animal fifty times bigger than you, that you've never seen before in the history of your people, and thinking "I'm gonna eat this."
They're at the top of their own little food chain

Got to love the tenacity, strength and group effort the ants put in to securing their food supply... (Apparently an average ant can carry 10-50x their body weight... A-mazing!)
Now i really sonder if Amts could move a dead Human..

Its not like ants are not able to be eating i mean they need that to live ide do the same thing so i ain`t gonna get mad about that.
OMG I did not notice the ants. Where did they carry the shrimp from (distance)?
To think we would need more than a forklift to do something like that
Once I sat on an ant hill and the ants tickled me a lot but in a bad way. I cried a little cause I was little (And I was having Physical Education in School) and do you know what the teacher did?!?! She said to everyone not to put they're hands up and of course you are thinking: why couldn't you call out?? Answer: Because I was in grade 1 and it was my first grade in australia and i was too shy. Because my background is Pakistan. BTW, when we all stood up to do the assigned activities, I then told my teacher that I had ants and yeh. She sent me to the sick bay in our school and when my teachers checked for any ants, there was none but some nits in my hair!? Fortunately, the nits are gone now after years of cleaning.
Ants are the most industrial hard-working small livings - they always co-operate to do everything. Besides, they don't fight each other ...... I was so cruel (around 10) in killing them (in million) when I climbed to pick-up mango & got bitten by them - burning their nests. ' The Law of Nature or Karma ' came right back to me when I started my first Meditation - they climbed up to my forehead & continued bitten for nearly 2 hours (5-7 am) - I was in tears to make an Apology & when I looked in the mirror - No Injury! From that day, I would feed Ants & never kill other livings (a vegetarian for over 30 years now). With 4 Meditation teachers, twice a Buddhist monk, & a vegetarian, my Guardian-Angels would come to assist me & couldn't die (just yet at 75+) ...... ' Stay Happy & Be Happy ' to All & Everyone !!! !!!
What, Exactly, Was The Sequence Of Events That LED To This?

Nature Is Scary As Hell
The Sandbox Tree also known as the "Dynamite Tree" grows exploding fruits. When fully mature, they explode with a loud bang and fling their hard, flattened seeds at speeds of up to 150 miles per hour and distances of over 60 feet. The shrapnel can seriously injure any person or animal in its path. As bad as this is, the exploding seed pods are only one of the ways that a sandbox tree can inflict harm.
The fruit of the sandbox tree is poisonous, causing vomiting, diarrhea and cramps if ingested. The tree sap is said to cause an angry red rash, and it can blind you if it gets in your eyes. It has been used to make poison darts.
Wow. The person who said nature is beautiful has CLEARLY never seen this tree!

yall why is everybody saying that the Earth is 5,000 years old? It's waaaaaaaaay older than that, and basing its age off of a calendar based in religion is quite likely to not be scientifically accurate. Please, for the love of all that is correct, stop saying the Earth is younger than we can soundly prove it is

I wish more of these had explanations. Some of them were completely confusing.
Nature is beautiful most of the time, ugly some of the time, and definitely deadly a lot of the time.
I'm living in Germany, and very often I feel like it's quite boring here. But sometimes I'm just grateful for all we have and for all we have not, as well.
I made this mistake of looking at this at 2:30 in the morning. I still can't sleep.
That was super interesting but also scary as fck. Anyway thanks for the warning in the caption. That saved me, as I scrolled down in slow motion and held my breath for every new pic.
Surprised at finding so many interesting things. This has given me some energy to learn more about these awesome creatures and plants. Thank you BP.
Nightmare inducing but really interesting. Thanks to those that provided explanations
But 'mother nature' or 'gaia' 'loves us'! Or, this planet is clearly 'designed for us'! - This didn't even get into what some tropical parasites will do to humans. You know what else 'mother nature' or 'gaia' or some supposed deity 'designed' for us? The Coronavirus, AIDS, anthrax, Ebola, e.coli - many other horrible things.
I love and hate these. I have a serious fear of spiders so I know there are usually some terrifying spider ones. But the rest are so fascinating!
I made it through all of them. I’m proud of myself! But I will NOT be sleeping, eating, brushing my tears or hair, or any activity where I might encounter this for a while..
Nature is wonderful, in many ways, we have so much beauty, be thankful for , and beware of a great many also !!!
maybe its just cause i want to be a marine biologist, but most of these were not "Scary As Hell," just 2% scary & 98% COOL! baby spiders are freaky though when theres that many
This story almost made me vomit for real. How do I get it off my page?
I think very few of these qualify as "scary". Cool and fascinating, mostly. (But spiders... spiders always scary. Except when cute. Like Lucas.)
Remove this from your site! Don't you ever show, nowhere, that disgusting picture of that dog's mouth! As well as some other terrible things 🤮
