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.

Enzo_Gorlahh_mi Report

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.

Your Chances Of Getting Killed By A Group Of Frogs Are Low But Never Zero

ops_castlebravo Report

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.

Nature Is Scary As Hell

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.

Some cats can have a genetic condition where their eyelashes essentially grow on the inside and can cause a lot of pain and eventual blindness. Removing their eyes, while tough to look at, is actually pain free once healed after surgery. Can't remember if it's called entropion or something else. Can happen in certain dog breeds as well.

Sphynx cats are often born with genetic defects, but this is horrible and tragic beyond words. This poor little angel is probably the result of irresponsible, ignorant breeding.

Actually, this kitty was born with both eyes and developed FHV. One of the symptoms of FHV is eye ulcers. The only option was to remove his eyes. First one in 2014 and then the other in 2018.

I really can not imagine how you can define "cute" a poor animal that has been created specifically to have skin problems and all kinds. And it is also likely that the lack of eyes, in this case, is related to the inbreed necessary to obtain the characteristics of the sphynx. It seems to me that defining a suffering animal as "cute" gives you the impression of feeling "out of the choir", but in this case I find it really inappropriate.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BvkmK1WBM_J/?hl=en here's a link to his instagram where it describes his condition. A lot of comments are focused on it being a result of breeding, but it wasn't. He was born with eyes and lost them because of corneal ulcers.

Maybe the poor animal is born like this. No sign of intervention. They should avoid these bad genetics experiments that result in unfairly suffering animals. Just because some decerebrate can say "How cute".

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
