The DC Eagle Cam has been loads of fun this spring, esp. when mom or dad delivers a big fish that would rather not be eaten.

Welp: You Can't Unsee This Roach Giving Birth While Being Eaten by Ants

Yikes, not clicking that

what this thread was made for

Hats off to nature for rendering all fictional depictions of horror obsolete.

Werner Herzog: [On the jungle] Kinski always says it's full of erotic elements. I don't see it so much erotic. I see it more full of obscenity. It's just - Nature here is vile and base. I wouldn't see anything erotical here. I would see fornication and asphyxiation and choking and fighting for survival and... growing and... just rotting away. Of course, there's a lot of misery. But it is the same misery that is all around us. The trees here are in misery, and the birds are in misery. I don't think they - they sing. They just screech in pain. It's an unfinished country. It's still prehistorical. The only thing that is lacking is - is the dinosaurs here. It's like a curse weighing on an entire landscape. And whoever... goes too deep into this has his share of this curse. So we are cursed with what we are doing here. It's a land that God, if he exists has - has created in anger. It's the only land where - where creation is unfinished yet. Taking a close look at - at what's around us there - there is some sort of a harmony. It is the harmony of... overwhelming and collective murder. And we in comparison to the articulate vileness and baseness and obscenity of all this jungle - Uh, we in comparison to that enormous articulation - we only sound and look like badly pronounced and half-finished sentences out of a stupid suburban... novel... a cheap novel. We have to become humble in front of this overwhelming misery and overwhelming fornication... overwhelming growth and overwhelming lack of order. Even the - the stars up here in the - in the sky look like a mess. There is no harmony in the universe. We have to get acquainted to this idea that there is no real harmony as we have conceived it. But when I say this, I say this all full of admiration for the jungle. It is not that I hate it, I love it. I love it very much. But I love it against my better judgment.

i will never not enjoy watching a cockroach die.

i am glad people are explaining what these things are instead of just leaving random links
my inner sadness thanks you

one of the penguins is like "fuck you guys I am out of here" and the other one is on some homicidal "so what is this like" shit wtf

Herzog's wrong, nature is harmony, it's just sometimes diminished fifths

best animal siblings

probably the greatest 'awkward family photo' ever taken. the proud parent presiding. that poor little thing in the middle, perhaps intelligent enough to sense it's next. the synchronised teenage savagers

nah, the one in the middle is like "see I told you, she's much tastier than me"

Poor Tiffany
