“Darn Nature You Scary”: 50 Times Nature Made People Go “Nope”
Nature is awesome with its sunrises and sunsets, scenic landscapes, beautiful birdsongs, and refreshing oceans. Poets have written praises about its beauty, and songwriters have sung ballads about its grandeur. Yet we as a species are just one of many. We think we dominate, but have no idea just how dangerous some of the Earth's inhabitants can be.
Yet the folks at the "[Darn] Nature You Scary" community know. They're a subreddit dedicated to showcasing all the crazy and scary stuff nature has to offer. Deadly venomous spiders, terrifying-looking worms from the Antarctic ocean, and huge crocs just waiting to sink their teeth into your soft flesh are just some of the things the peeps have shared over there. So, put on your brave face, Pandas, and scroll down if you want to be amazed!

Dracula Parrot
Scarlett O'Hara's Ghost 1 year ago
I'm an avid avian. At one time I had a flock of 45 beautiful birds in a huge outdoor, cooled and heated aviary. I live in Arizona so the birds lived outside year round. My flock ranged from the tiniest of Strawberry Finches to my beautiful Blue and Gold Macaw, Bonnie Blue after my favorite book, GWTW. I've been around this parrot. They're very smart and can learn a wonderful vocabulary! Other unusual beauties are the magnificent Hyacinth Macaw who is so critically endangered in the wild that when scientists finally found a decent flock of them in Brazil, that wouldn't share their location. Also endangered in the wild is the Palm Cockatoo who is every bit as much a monkey as their yellow crested cousins! And finally, sadly, the majestic Spix Macaw. The world is down to only double digits of these birds. All in captivity. A man in Arabia has a small flock of them trying to breed them.

When I was in Yellowstone there was a grizzly out in the field who was easily the size of my Honda Element. Pictures just don't do that justice. These guys are UNITS.

Hippos swim around in their own p*o water, and have bitey fights. Luckily they secrete acidic antibiotic sweat.

What do you think ?

Thanks for the nightmares... seriously though, some of these pics were awesome. I cringe at the 'stuff eating other stuff' pics though. I know it's nature and that's what happens but I prefer thinking everything exists in a happy land like Pokémon games (they mention some Pokémon eating/killing other Pokémon or doing other dark things, but of course it's never shown in-game) where everything coexists nicely and the worst that happens is one thing may accidentally boop another.

Just don't examine it too closely! (Not intending to discourage you, mind, but I've never encountered a setting that unravels faster than Pokémon when you question it!) In solidarity; here's a loop of a Spheal just vibing. They're so round! https://youtu.be/qoGQ85rsrkI?si=M7sJ2OVveMfzFnnW
