Not everything in nature is as beautiful or as hilarious as we're mostly used to. It has a dark side, too, and I'll completely understand if this list by Bored Panda forces you to build a pillow-fort in your living room and avoid going outside for a week.
From a mama centipede protecting its babies to a wasp colony building a nest around a discarded doll, these pictures feature some of the scariest things Mother Earth has to offer. Scroll down to test how brave you are, and vote for your favorite entries.

Brave Patriot Bald Eagle Takes Down Wimpy Canadian Goose

There is nothing wimpy about a Canadian goose! But size and talons make the difference.

I'm Canadian and I can tell you full well that Those geese are not wimpy. tell that to my broken arm when I was a kid. apparently goslings are not that cute at least when moms around.

Never had a personal experience with those geese, yet (LUCKILY!). But I also steer clear of them, whenever we cross paths... in Europe.

Don't insult anything Canadian. You will live to regret it. You are a very stupid person that put the picture up.
McKinley D'Aigle 8 years ago
I am certain that it was a joke. I mean, I never take it personal when people rag on/insult Americans...whether as a joke or in all seriousness (i find that,right now it is the cool thing to insult America and its citizens). life is too short,and the world is too full of hate to be defensive all the time. I figure I am a human/global citizen first,American second. we don't get to choose where we are born,we do get to choose to be good people and laugh at the little things. now, if someone would maliciously malign a country, or negatively sterotype,well,that isn't cool. I just don't believe that the person who titled this, was mocking Canada. Seriously, who in the world can hate Canada, that place and its people are awesome.

Yes Canadian Geese are tough too, and VERY large but the Eagle is much quicker and has that sharp Bill. That bird is so majestic. Great choice for the National Bird

I remember being at a zoo or a park once and the geese did not like me. They chased me and tried to bite me. One of them actually did bite me. Yet, I have never been bitten by an eagle...lol.

There's nothing patriotic about a bald eagle. It's a bird. Stop with the nationalism BS.
McKinley D'Aigle 8 years ago
I agree, I'm not knocking those who are proud of being a citizen of their home country,but when it borders on fanaticism and fervour, then it becomes a problem (to me at least,and,I suspect, to you). I don't even care about all the flags of nations,and the like. nationalism ,anywhere, is a problem (at least the way I define it,where one is so rabid that they deign to believe they are better than any other country because of where they were born. nothing wrong with being proud of one's culture...but the rabid xenophobia we are seeing is a very big problem. I imagine that the bald eagle is thinking, what the hell is America? you mean that place that allows others to hunt us to extinction, then has the gall to throw us on its emblems and currency? yeah I'll pass..for me and my eagle brethren, home is not America, home is where we happen to land😉)

Mayzie B 8 years ago
Hey!! I'm from Canada, and believe me Canadian Geese are not wimpy! they will chase you and beat you up, if you go to close to them. But a eagle is a predator and a Canadian goose isn't. The eagle is used to hunting and the goose doesn't have much predators in the sky, so they don't need to avoid anything really.
