Tasmanian Tigers
This picture was taken before the beautiful thylacine went extinct. Also called a Tasmanian tiger, this species wasn’t actually a tiger, nor a canine. This was deemed the largest carnivorous marsupial on Earth. That is until the International Union for Conversation of Nature announced it was extinct in 1982.

The Tasmanian parliament did the same four years later. However, many stories come in of sightings in the wild, increasing the likelihood that a group of these animals is still living somewhere in the wild.

Look Behind You!
The view of this is enough to send most people scrambling to their basement. Yet this girl was confident enough to pose for a picture with this massive tornado behind her. You would assume her mother would come yelling after her to stop playing around and to get indoors, but her mother is the one who took the photo!
Marilee Thomas took the photo of her daughter, Audra, in 1989 on their land in the USA. A barn was unfortunately destroyed but no lives were lost, thankfully.

Racoon Meeting
This photo was taken by a woman who was woken up in the middle of the night while she was camping. She heard unusual noises and poked her head out of her tent to see what was going on. Raccoons generally stay alone and not in groups, but tonight something drew them all to her campground. As you can imagine, this scared outdoorswoman didn’t properly seal her food before going to bed! This is what attracted these forest critters to her site to have dinner. Who knows, there were probably many more that aren’t in the image…

Electricity Meet Water…
Water and electricity, when placed together, are so serious that everyone should be careful when using electric appliances near water. If only Mother Nature took that advice! Just one bolt can send 300 million volts into the sea, killing all nearby fish.
This bolt is more than enough voltage to kill a human, so the photographer had a lucky escape here. If you are ever caught swimming and hear thunder or see lightning, it is strongly recommended to leave the water and get dry!

The Endurance Ship
This old photo shows the Endurance, a ship that got trapped in ice during a 1914 trip to Antarctica. The ship was incapable of moving, and the crew thought they would eventually be released by the thaw when spring came. Instead, the weather change caused the ice to exert so much pressure that the ice cracked the hull, prompting the ship to sink into the water. Forced to abandon the ship, they made their way to Elephant Island. Most of the sailors waited there while some comrades left for South Georgia Island to call to rescue them.

‘Can You Hear Me Now?’
Careful up there! This brave man has climbed a cell phone tower to do maintenance after a massive storm caused ice to form. When compressed water droplets freeze on surfaces, this is known as ‘hard rime’. These form as ice in the direction of the wind, and can often be seen on trees, planes, towers, and other types of structures that are exposed to Mother Nature. It looks like it’s pretty slippery up there, so we hope this guy was clever enough to ascend the tower with the right climbing equipment.

Real-Life MEG
The megalodon, translated as “big tooth,” is actually an extinct shark species that was once four times longer than a great white. These terrifying marine predators would crush sharks’ bone and tendons with their powerful teeth in one bite!
In total, they measured up to 60 feet long. This photo depicts a reconstruction of this monster’s giant jaws next to a life-sized model of a great white shark. It is recognized by paleontologists as one of the largest, most powerful predators that ever existed.

Albino Bats
These cute bats are also known as Carribean White Tent-making bats. Honduran white bats eat only one type of fig, but that’s not all! They then build ‘tents’ out of leaves that they ultimately cut and fold down to make their own shelter. If you want to track down these cute animals, you would have to go out in the wild searching for them. They are only in a few countries: Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Paraguay. A female bat can give birth a few times a year, but only to one baby bat at once.

Twin Twisters
In this old photo from May 4, 1922, we can see twin twisters roar together over Austin, Texas. The building in the shot is actually the Texas state capitol building. It is considered by historians to be one of the worst disasters caused by tornados in Austin.
These tornados were first one twister, but that split to cause chaos throughout the city. When the storm finally passed, 13 people were killed and at least 50 others were wounded. Some $400,000 in destruction was done to the property, according to estimates at the time.

@CrystalMarker - so many animals have almost gone extinct or totally gone wiped off due to our greed or meddling. Australia (and even Madagascar) are special when it comes to the ecosystem. Any invasive species including humans have damaged it so much.

The Megladon were great beasts. There was this scientist who found a Shark Head, of a Great White. it was a fully grown great white with its head bitten off. He spent a lot of time to find the culprit but he couldn't.

Tornadoes, Twisters, Typhons, Tsunami Nature got it its T-Game totally stacked.

@MissLed - this is connecting Denmark with Sweden - The Öresund Bridge is truly something else. The one side was made into a tunnel for a bunch of interesting reasons. a) Copenhagen Airport is nearby so Air traffic would not get interfered b) gives good channel fo ships in all weather c) prevents ice floes from blocking it

You can see one side thus is a bridge and then becomes a tunnel coming out on the other side.
