Everybody's Gotta Eat

I guess snakes can eat kangaroos?! Kind of makes me wonder what other animals have ridiculous eating habits. "Contrary to the popular belief that snakes can dislocate their jaws, snakes have a very flexible lower jaw, the two halves of which are not rigidly attached, and numerous other joints in their skull allowing them to open their mouths wide enough to swallow their prey whole, even if it is larger in diameter than the snake itself as snakes do not chew" (Wikipedia). This is nothing short of amazing. Would you say extraordinary?

Leopard vs. Hyena vs. Lion

For all the music, art or fashion and other human creations we can post, nature at its best always has the edge. There's something so fascinating about the fact that shit like this happens every day somewhere in the world whether we see it or not. Did you know leopards can climb trees? Did you know lions can climb trees? Ok, maybe you did. But you didn't, and neither did I. A chance to watch something we don't usually get the chance to: a crucial struggle between three predators. Enjoy.

Hermit Crabs At A Glance

As a land or water dwelling crustacean, the hermit crab is one of natures most adaptable animals. The soft inner abdomen of the hermit crab is their most vulnerable area, and in defense seek out empty sea shells for protection. To further camouflage themselves, hermit crabs sometimes carry other organisms like anemones along as well, further disguising them from predators. Interestingly enough, when a hermit crab changes shells, often the anemone will also transfer to the new shell and continue along with the crab. The lifespan of a hermit crab is also impressive with some species living up to 32 years. I wonder if the female crabs choose up on the dude crabs with the flyest shells.

The "Dark Zoo" Series By Nicolas Evariste

I think we're just scratching the surface of where we're going artistically in the world. Amazing works pop up each day, people harnessing their talents to create lasting images. The work of Nicolas Evariste is no different. A remarkable photographer, his excellence is achieved through his passions, "I am passionate about everything related to the picture, a graphic designer by trade, I am also fanatical about painting, cinema, or literature. I like the image in all its forms!" Nicolas Evariste. wet dot net.
