8. Combining the tracks into a kind of “train” looks delightful
Sometimes people are faced with such a phenomenon when caterpillars, lined up in a row, obediently follow each other. Why are they doing this? It’s simple – so insects fight for survival. Such a scheme of movement allows you to safely move from one source of food to another, because predators perceive such a “train” as one large creature.
9. Three-eyed snake
The Parks and Wildlife Service of the Northern Territory of Australia shared photos that showed a snake with three eyes. The unusual creature was found by local rangers. Researchers were very interested in this case, because X-rays showed that the snake had not two separate heads, but one skull with three functioning eyes. Scientists believe that the third eye of the animal did not appear due to the influence of ecology. The main version is an embryonic mutation.
10. Poisonous sea slug
The Spanish Dancer is an amazing clam that can be found mainly during night dives into the sea. The creature does not like sunlight and prefers not to be shown to everyone. However, sometimes it is thrown into shallow water in waves, which gives people an excellent opportunity to observe an unusual creature from the outside.
11. Bridge Giants
The Giants Bridge is Ireland’s main attraction. It is a rocky shore, which consists of separate basalt faceted columns, closely pressed against each other. All columns are predominantly hexagonal. Scientists have found that the columns were formed as a result of a series of volcanic movements, cooling and horizontal compression of lava.

Every year, millions of monarch butterflies fly to winter in Mexico, Florida, California, and then return back. Monarchs at the place of wintering is a memorable sight, they hang in whole bunches on the branches and trunks of trees.
13. These fluffy balls are actually a mineral called okenite.
And they are not soft at allOcenite is a fairly rare mineral that can be found in Greenland, Iceland, India.
14. Underwater forest on Lake Kaindy
Lake Kaindy was formed as a result of a natural phenomenon – water flooded the gorge, creating a natural gate in the very middle of the reservoir. The most interesting attraction are the spruce trees, as if growing out of the water itself. In fact, these trees have long died, and the fact that they have been preserved in this form is the result of a kind of “conservation” due to the low temperature of the water.
