Elephant Stuck In Manhole
Despite their sheer size, elephants are among the world’s most peaceful and adorable creatures. However, this elephant pic taken in Thailand is simply terrifying.
This poor baby elephant got stuck in a manhole and is desperately trying to escape. His desperate eyes suggest he’s undergoing an excruciating pain. If it makes you feel better, a team of rescuers finally managed to rescue him with a bulldozer.
Spider Web Tunnel
Being attacked and swollen by a giant, menacing spider is probably one of the world’s most recurring nightmares. Imagine being trapped in this giant spider web tunnel!
Barn Funnel Weaver spiders are one of the most creepy insects you’ll ever find. You’ll usually spot them hanging from their spider webs, ready to attack their prey like the spider in the picture.
Killer Octopus
This heart-stopping picture was taken at Oregon Undersea Gardens, a popular marine park that sadly closed its doors several years ago.
Imagine how traumatized all the kids were after seeing this man being attacked by this incensed octopus. Luckily, he came out alive, but that doesn’t make it any less creepy!
Threatening Rhino
What would you do if you saw a giant-sized rhino storming right toward you? The person who took this picture must’ve faced exactly this same dilemma.
If you ever find yourself in this situation, here’s a useful tip: rhinos will put their heads down and attack if they sense you’re not being chill.
Eagle Feeds on Prey
This petrifying photo taken by Clark Espie features a sea eagle preying on a poor little feral pig who seems to be screaming for his life.
According to Espie, the bird struggled to clutch his prey, and in fact, the pig almost wriggled himself free until a second eagle showed up and left him with no chance of survival.
King Of The Ocean
Everyone knows that the Great White shark is the world’s most lethal predator, but have you ever seen a scarier picture?
Great White sharks have a bite force of nearly 2 tonnes, which is nearly 25 times harder than that of a human. We really feel sorry for those fish!
Scary Odd Couple
You’d never imagine a poisonous tarantula and a miniature narrow-mouthed frog to be friends, right? Well, you’ll never imagine the story behind this frightening picture.
These cute little frogs can frequently be seen around tarantulas as they feast on the small invertebrates that live on the remnants of their meals. Frogs, on the other hand, love eating ants, animals whose main source of food is spider eggs. It’s a win-win situation!
Irritated Snowy Owl
It’s a widely known fact that snowy owls love preying on ducks. Their hooked beak allows them to grip prey easily and tear their flesh open.
The intimidating look on the owl’s face makes it look as if it were about to finish off with its prey. However, the photographer said they were just chilling together, and they eventually parted ways.
Fighting For A Friend’s Life
This harrowing picture show’s how cruel nature can be. A bald eagle had just caught a seagull with its claws when all of a sudden, another seagull came to the rescue.
While the prey is desperately trying to wriggle himself free, his buddy is biting the eagle’s feathers off in an attempt to save his life. What do you think happened?
Surprise Hiding In The Toilet
What’s the deal with Australia that it’s full of deadly creatures everywhere? As crazy as it sounds, this woman living in Brisbane was attacked by a five-foot carpet python the moment she sat on her toilet.
Snakes seek refuge inside people’s homes whenever it’s too hot outside. Let’s take a look at the bright side: at least carpet pythons are not venomous!
Racoon Zombies
This woman was camping with a friend when all of a sudden she heard some strange noises right past midnight. She took her camera with her and snapped this freaky picture.
A herd of raccoons was staring at her angrily as if saying, “what the hell are you doing in my territory?”. Some were walking on their tiptoes as if they were zombies. Run, woman, run for your life!
Bird Tornado
One of the most staggering things about birds is the way they sometimes fly in formation. Even though we’re mostly used to seeing them fly forming the shape of a V, sometimes they form other stranger patterns, too.
Here’s a picture of a massive flock of birds forming the shape of a tornado. As creepy as it looks, these fellas are simply trying to stay safe from predators.
Camouflaged Owl
We know what you’re all thinking: what’s so creepy about a picture of a tree? Well, look twice, and you’ll make an eerie discovery.
That seemingly supernatural creature is actually a grey owl. These birds can melt into the background, which comes in handy for snagging their prey.
Killer Goose
Have you ever wondered what a geese’s teeth look like? No one ever imagined these birds could be so intimidating!
It turns out that geese have multiple rows of teeth, but even though they’re only made of cartilage, they seriously look like chainsaw chompers.
Giant-Sized Manta Ray
As absurd as it looks, this is a true picture. In 1933, this 20-foot wide manta ray got entangled in A.L. Kahn’s boat while vacationing on the coast of New Jersey.
The man then had the creature taxidermied, and the pictures he took made it around the globe. Unbelievably, it’s possible for manta rays to reach that size. Yikes!
Hyena Matriarch
Hyenas are ferocious scavengers who survive across the African Savanas, preying on corpses. This spine-chilling picture shows a hyena matriarch fending off a pack of wild dogs.
These dog-like creatures have such strong jaws that they can pulverize bones to obtain the minerals they need to survive. We better stay away from them!
Whale Carcass
As much as it looks like an alien craft, this strange object is a bloated, rotting whale carcass floating across the ocean and on the verge of exploding. How can this be possible?
Once a whale dies, what’s left inside its stomach starts to decompose, and the bacteria start creating an excess of gas, which builds up until the animal bursts. There are people whose job is to puncture whale carcasses before this happens.
Tree-Climbing Goats
This picture seems photo-shopped, but it’s totally real. Morocco’s Argania tree-climbing goats have the superpower of making their way to the top of the trees.
These goats sidle up to the trees, attracted by their thick bark, and eat whichever fruit they find along the way. It’s spooky yet at the same time fascinating!
Frozen Buffalo
Buffalos are among the most majestic creatures you’ll ever find in America. They’re six feet tall, and they can run at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. Even though they’re generally peaceful, they kill nearly 200 people every year.
Since they’re covered in thick layers of fur, they only start feeling cold when the temperature drops below -40 degrees. Therefore, this bison covered in ice sheets probably feels warm inside!
Spider Attack
This picture will definitely give you goosebumps. Taken in Pakistan right after a flood, the photo shows some trees cocooned with giant spiderwebs.
This is what happens when hundreds of thousands of spiders seek refuge in trees to protect themselves from rising waters.
Eye Of A Gecko
This terrifying eye belongs to a rare lizard known as the tokay gecko. Even though they’re a bit creepy-looking and can sometimes be aggressive, these creatures make good pets.
Sadly, these dashing creatures are targeted by poachers mainly because they’re used in a wide range of medicinal remedies.
Dragon Bear
At first sight, it seems like the polar bear is exhaling fire as if he were a dragon, but we know that’s simply impossible. How can we explain what’s going on?
As petrifying as it looks, this is nothing but a well-timed photo that caught the reflection of the rising sun, and the polar bear was perfectly placed.
Biggest Crocodile Ever
Taken in 1914, this harrowing picture shows the biggest crocodile to ever set foot on the planet. There’s no way of knowing how big it actually is, but scientists claim it’s over 28 feet long.
This heart-stomping picture was taken at Roper River, Australia, by a couple known as Miss Cross and Mr. Joynt. It’s a miracle the picture made it to this day!
Flying Demon
This enormous golden-crowned flying fox looks like a monster pulled straight out of a horror movie. Popularly known as “megabats,” they can only be found in the Philippines.
No matter how threatening it seems, flying foxes don’t pose any threat to humans whatsoever. In fact, they only feed on figs and nuts.
Boxing Lions
Male lions know how to pick up a fight, and here’s some real-life proof. Two fearsome lions are battling with each other in what appears to be a life-or-death situation.
Lions can sometimes fight to the death and they won’t give up until they’re covered in blood. But this isn’t even the worst part: whenever an alpha lion wins, the first thing he does is kill the cubs of the defeated lion.
Watch Out, Kids!
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there were lots of recorded cases of bears showing up in urban backyards all across Canada. Here’s a striking example.
Imagine your kid is going down the slide when they suddenly bump into this grizzly bear. We wouldn’t want to live to see that!
Exorcised Dragon Fish
While this may look like a fake, exorcised creature, it’s a real-life deep-sea dragonfish. It looks like everything but friendly!
Fortunately, it’s highly unlikely you’ll ever cross paths with them since they live 1,600 feet deep into the ocean. They’re also only three and a half inches long, so they’re really not that threatening.
Exfoliated Shark
This revolting picture features a goblin shark, probably one of the eeriest creatures you’ll ever find in the ocean.
These sharks are known for terrifyingly protruding their jaws to catch their prey. It looks as if they had had their skin ripped off. Are you ready for one of the scariest animals to ever exist?
Stranger Things Monster
This disgusting, slimy creature seems pulled straight from a Stranger Things episode. They’re most famous for their jawless mouth, which sucks blood from mammals and fish.
Found in the Pacific Rim, these sea creatures are colled Pacific lamprey. Next time you travel to California’s beaches, you better watch out!
Spine-Chilling Fish
Bearded sea devils are petrifying in every possible way. They look like a mixture between a human liver and a defrosted chicken, only grosser.
This horrible species inhabits the subtropical waters of all of the world’s oceans. At the same time, they’re kind of cool, as they’re covered with luminous bacteria, which makes them shine in the middle of the ocean’s darkness.
