It’s not SCIENCE FICTION! It’s the NATURAL WORLD going about its Day-to-Day Life

Nature is beautiful, but it can also be weird, creepy and just a little bit spooky. It is always amazing.

We’ve compiled an incredible collection of photographs of nature at its weird, creepy, spooky and amazing best.

Which photo do you like? Which freaks you out, even just a little bit? Which would you like to know more about?

ARMED ANEMONE

This alien-like creature found washed up on a beach in Broome, Western Australia, is an armed anemone, flipped over. It’s one of the largest species of anemone and can grow to 20cm in diameter, with tentacles 50cm long.

GIANT GOLDEN-CROWNED FLYING FOX

This photo taken in the Philippines is thought to be of a giant golden-crowned flying fox, an endangered species and the largest bat species in the world. They can have a wingspan of 1.7m. No need to worry for your safety: they’re vegetarians and eat mostly fruit.

CANE TOADS AND A PYTHON

Clever cane toads hitched a ride on the back of a 3.5m python during a storm at Kununurra, WA, in December 2018. The image was posted on Twitter by Andrew Mock.

HEDGEHOG SKELETON

This hedgehog is long dead, but its spooky skeleton is well preserved inside the remains of its protective spiky coat. Hedgehogs of various species are native to parts of Europe, Asia and Africa and are not related to Australia’s echidnas.

STARLINGS

Starlings dance before landing to sleep near Rahat, Israel. A mass movement of starlings in a flock like this is called a murmuration and usually happens in the evening before they roost for the night. Scientists study murmurations but still aren’t sure how the birds know how to fly like this. Starlings are not native to Australia but were introduced, so if you’re lucky, you could see them do this.

SNAKE IN A SHOE

It must have seemed like a good idea to this snake. A good idea for us? Shake out your shoes before you put them on.
