Sometimes we get so used to dreamy landscapes and cute puppies that we forget about nature's dark side. But it's there. Regardless of whether we pay attention to it or not. To remind you about some of the Mother Earth's scariest 'children,' Bored Panda has compiled a list of photos that should send shivers down your spine. Or at least make you say a loud "NOPE." From half-dead spiders covered in fungus to mutated frogs with eyes growing in their mouth, consider viewing these images as a contest: if you can scroll to the very end, you win. The prize? Nightmares.

What Do You Do When You See A Flying Fox In Your Backyard? (The Philippines)

What Do You Do When You See A Flying Fox In Your Backyard? (The Philippines)

No that isn't the camera angle, that is actually one big bat. The flying fox also called the fox bat are among the largest bats in the world with a wingspan of 5 feet (1.5 metres) and a head and body length of about 16 inches (40 centimeters). They are found on tropical islands and the mainland of Asia. As scary as they look, these gentle giants only eat fruit.

First I would try to figure out how I got to the Philippines without me knowing about it. Then I would call a vet over to check this little guy out for diseases and then if he gets a clean bill of health, feed it fruit and all of the creepy a*s bugs on this list. Then I would hold him, love him, rock him, kiss him and call him George.

    Did you know that some lizards lay eggs while some give live birth? That's right, while you will find lizard eggs of geckos, iguanas and monitor lizards, you won’t see blue tongue lizards, Solomon island lizards and shingle-back lizards laying eggs! They give birth to their live offspring.

    Crazy Bird Tornado

    Crazy Bird Tornado

    This may look like a shot from Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, but this eerie scene was created by none other than mother nature herself. A Reddit user posted the shot to the site's r/WTF thread and titled it "birdnado." The cluster is thought to be made up of starlings, a bird known for flying in thick flock formations called murmurations. These clusters reduce the amount of energy required during travel and protect them from predators. If starlings sense a shift in one part of the flock the entire pattern will shift.

    They are wonderful to watch - and it has it's own sound. I used to live on the UK south coast, town with a pier. Starlings from many miles around used to congregate at dusk, up to 100,000 or more and put on this amazing display every evening. Imagine the sound of 100,000 pairs of wings flapping 50ft above your head in unison. It would last for maybe 20/30 minutes, then the ones from afar would head back home. Always disappointed when when they finished.

    The radars are actually locked on a much more interesting target. The males of the crew follows the smell of a lady bird, that's why the shape of the cloud. Where the smell goes, they fly. As simple as that. As they say in Africa, there's much more torque in the smile of a lady than in a bull pulling a chariot, despite the geographical fame, the same concept is expressed way less romantically in Italy..

    Believe It Or Not, This Is One Of The Least Dangerous Spiders We Have In Australia

    Believe It Or Not, This Is One Of The Least Dangerous Spiders We Have In Australia

    This is the huntsman spider, a common friend to be found in houses and garden across Australia. He's harmless really, don't let his large size intimidate you. Huntsmen won't bite humans unless provoked, are not venomous and are actually handy to have around the place, he'll use his speed and agility to keep your cockroach population under control.
    Think of the huntsman as a handy pet. Respect his space, let him do his job and he'll look after you well.

    I have a resident huntsman named Henry. Don’t know where he is today but every day he is somewhere different in our house. If you leave it alone they tend to leave you alone. But sometimes they do jump. I have had a huntman fall on my head when walking through a door way and I have had a huntsman fall on the iPad whilst I was starting to shut it down to go to bed. My brother sat on a huntsman in the car and got bitten. He was fine as they aren’t venomous to humans, but coz he wouldn’t calm down my parents took him to the hospital where they gave him “anti venom” which was just a sugar tablet (placebo).

    Birds Using A Dead Pike's Mouth To Nest

    Birds Using A Dead Pike's Mouth To Nest

    Pike fish are freshwater fish known as ambush predators because of their ability to lie perfectly still for an impressive amount of time, thankfully for these birds this pike is out of water so it's safe to say it's actually dead.

    I Want To Ride My Bicycle

    I Want To Ride My Bicycle

    Did you know that bees swarm when when the queen bee leaves the colony with a large group of worker bees? It's how a new honey bee colony is formed. In the prime swarm, about 60% of the worker bees leave the original hive location with the old queen. This swarm can contain thousands to tens of thousands of bees. Usually, swarming takes place in spring, within a two- or three-week period, but occasional swarms can happen throughout the producing season as well.

    We need bees, so if you ever see something like this, don't freak out: “The swarm is generally not dangerous as it is focused on finding a new home,” says local bee enthusiast Ann Evans. “If you see a swarm, contact a local beekeeper, a beekeeper’s listserv or the Police Department, which also has a list of beekeepers to contact in case of a swarm reported.

    Bees thrive in high density populations. Research "bee space" to learn more about comb density in natural bee colonies. This is probably 4000 bees bivouacing until scouts find a suitable 'permanent' home. They could be there for days but typically under 24hrs.

    There Was A Friggin Gecko Hiding In My Son's Toy Spider

    There Was A Friggin Gecko Hiding In My Son's Toy Spider

    Geckos are reptiles found in all parts of the world except for Antartica. To avoid predators they have developed special features such as camouflage to help them hide in any environment (even a toy spider). Most geckos are nocturnal creatures which means they are active at night, but there are day geckos which are willing to venture out during the daylight hours in search of food.

    Every autumn, flocks of birds migrate to warmer territories. Most birds migrate at night (when the air is cooler and calmer, and there are fewer predators), flying in tandem even when they are 655 feet (200 meters) or more apart. Some of them, however, can be spotted during the daytime as well.

    Not a migration. This is in Austin, TX most likely. This is daily behavior at dusk when tons of grackles come to roost. It's loud and fascinating!

    Sawfish

    Sawfish

    Sawfishes are large rays that are characterized by their long blade-like snouts. Along this elongated snout are lateral tooth-like denticles set inside sockets - which give the allusion of a giant chainsaw. Sawfishes use their "saw" (rostrum) during feeding time and to defend themselves. The rostrum will slash in a side-to-side motion and dislodge invertebrates from the substrate to stun fish.

    Lizard Shed His Entire Face In One Go

    If you want to peel of the skin from your pet lizard's head, you should try to take it off in one piece, and you want to make sure that it's 'released' around the ears. Also, be extra careful around the eyes.

    This was found in Broome, Western Australia and looks like an anemone. More specifically, Dofleinia armata, the armed anemone. Also called the striped anemone. It is considered extremely dangerous as it can inflict painful stings that take months to heal.

    This Fascinating Creature, A Deep-Sea Squid, Was Video Taped By Shell Out In The Perdido Area Of Alaminos Canyon, At 7800 Ft. Depth

    This Fascinating Creature, A Deep-Sea Squid, Was Video Taped By Shell Out In The Perdido Area Of Alaminos Canyon, At 7800 Ft. Depth

    We are well aware of the weird and wonderful creatures that inhabit the vast depths of the ocean, but this bigfin squid is very rarely seen, and little is known about them as a species.
    This is the best and most recent footage of the elusive creature, taken on 11 November 2007 by an oil company in the Gulf of Mexico. The species are very distinct from all previously known squids, with the length of the elastic tentacles estimated to be up to 15–20 times the body length. Estimates based on video evidence put the total length of the largest specimens at 8 metres (26 ft) or more.

    Death Shrouds From Hell - Spiders Cocooned These Trees To Save Themselves From A Flood

    Death Shrouds From Hell - Spiders Cocooned These Trees To Save Themselves From A Flood

    In 2010 a monsoon hit Pakistan that caused the rivers to swell and insects to run for cover. The strange anomaly was captured by aid worker Russell Watkins, a multimedia editor with the U.K.'s Department for International Development (DFID) in the Pakistani village of Sindh."There wasn't a scientific analysis of this being done. Anecdotally, I think it was pretty much any kind arachnid species, possibly combined with other insects," he told National Geographic. It was noted that because the flood waters took so long to recede, spiders who had sought asylum in the trees had just begun to spin weaves. Locals said they had never seen anything like it before.

    I heard about that, it was actually good for the people living there. Because of the water, the mosquito population exploded which could have led to a malaria epidemic, but because of the spiders in the trees most of the mosquitos never reached the humans. Still creepy to an arachnophobe (which I unfortunately am)^^

    Found A Beehive While Renovating An Old House

    Found A Beehive While Renovating An Old House

    Bees can find a cozy space between walls, causing issues for homeowners. How do you tell them to leave? We all know the value that bees have for ecosystems so simply gassing them should not really bee and option.
    They can cause damage and mold though, especially if they are honey bees, so should be removed. Call a professional beekeeper to come and take the hive away, don't attempt it yourself!

    Frog With Eyes In Its Mouth As A Result Of Macromutation

    Frog With Eyes In Its Mouth As A Result Of Macromutation

    A macromutation is a mutation that has made a significant impact on an organism, caused by a change in a regulatory gene that’s responsible for the expression of an array of structural genes. It’s been suggested that the cause of the mutation was the result of a parasitic infection by a trematode worm (Ribeiroia ondatrae). Trematode infections have reportedly been linked to an increasing number of amphibian limb mutations, particularly missing, malformed, and extra hind legs.

    You Can See The Back Of An Owl’s Eye Through Its Ear

    You Can See The Back Of An Owl’s Eye Through Its Ear

    "Like all birds, owls lack the external ear structures found in most mammals," photographer Jim McCormac said. "The birds' ears are unadorned openings in their skulls, visible only when the feathers on the sides of the animals' heads are parted. But these owls' unusually large earholes and eyes also offer a "behind the scenes" peek at their visual system, showcasing the evolutionary adaptations in sight and hearing that make the birds so successful at stealthy nighttime hunting."

    Owl eyes are tube shaped, so they can’t roll around in the socket! That’s why they turn their heads!! Also why we can see their eyes through their ears. Imagine if you could look through your ear and see your eyeball.

    Lactarius Rubidius Growing Out Of Fox Skull

    Lactarius Rubidius Growing Out Of Fox Skull

    Lactarius Rubidius, more commonly known as the 'candy cap' mushroom, is found in western North America and is known mainly as an aromatic mushroom. Instead of being eaten as a vegetable, they are instead used mainly as a flavoring in a way similar to vanilla, saffron, or truffles. Would you eat this one if you found it?

    This Spider Web That Looks Like A Spider-Man Mask

    Light, temperature, and humidity can affect the strength of a web. The adhesive droplets that spiders apply to their silk become sticky only when the silk leaves the spider’s body. But its strength can be affected by environmental factors, thus transforming into a creepy skull like this one.

    Just Going To Run

    Just Going To Run

    This cozy fella has been identified as a ratsnake. Native to North America, ratsnakes are commonly found in the forests of the eastern and central United States and are essentially harmless to humans. If bitten by one of these critters, the most you will need is a small bandage, they are not venomous.
    As the name suggests, their diet consists largely of small rodents, meaning they can often be found around barns and garages. Careful handling them though if you do find one in your shoe, instead of biting they are more likely to cover their victim with a foul-smelling musk!

    The plant grows underground, except for a fleshy flower that emerges above ground and emits an odor of feces to attract its natural pollinators, dung beetles and carrion beetles. The flowers act as temporary traps, retaining the beetles that enter long enough for them to pick up pollen.

    Weird Mold Growing Out Of Cat Food Can I Left In An Empty Room For 10 Days

    By the looks of it, this could be a type of fungi called phycomyces. Phycomyces is not known to produce toxins, although its chemical composition has been investigated in considerable detail. It is probably safe for mammals: the fact that the dung of small mammals is the best natural source for Phycomyces spores suggests a regular consumption as food.
