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.

in my town we have this park, and at the back of it is this big area covered in trees and stuff, and we call that "the bat cave" (not actually a cave but still) because there's this huge colony (is that the right word?) of flying foxes and other bats. you can walk through it and there are bats everywhere.

So... the thing is, at least in Minnesota... all the bats are bug-eaters. which means they're very useful flying fur balls. On the other hand, they're frequently carriers of rabbies, so if you happen to wake up next to one, you either have to have the foresight to catch it (so the animal can be tested), or you do the more normal thing and screaming and chase it away. (that flying furball just wanted to nap someplace warm, yo...)

danielw

for got to add, if you happen to go the screaming route (Who'd blame you?) you get the fun of rabies treatment, just to be safe.

We have flying foxes in Australia. I hand raised a baby of the largest species Pteropus alecto. They are wonderfully gentle, loving and extremely cute for those who must have cute.They also pollinate flowers and spread fruit seeds and we wouldn't have rainforests without them. I'm so sad that lyssavirus has spread to Australia and carers need to have a rabies vaccine to be able to raise their babies.

They are not only found on tropical islands and the mainland of Asia, but we also have them on the Australian mainland as well. Where I live in north Queensland (tropical region), they can be found all year round. If you go out into your yard of a night, you can hear them flying off with a sudden loud whoosh, which scares the c**p out of you, if you're not expecting it. On a bright night, you can see dozens of them flying around, just as you do with birds during the day. I have also lived in New South Wales (which is one of the cooler southern states) in a small town which grows many stone fruits. Often, during spring and summer, there would literally be thousands of them flying around at night (they slept in trees around town during the day). Sometimes the screeching noises they made were deafening, but they were never anything to be afraid of, they can be quite curious and playful. Unfortunately, however, they are prone to carrying deadly diseases, so handling them is not a good idea.

Why? It's not hurt or in danger, so it just needs to be left alone. I don't like bats, and this one is huge, but they play an important role. In general, "wild" animals don't need our help. If you don't disturb it, it will sleep and go away to live its life. The best we can do is not to touch or disturb them.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    My Town In Central Texas Has A Bird Problem

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    "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."

    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!

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.
