The desert gets more dangerous after dark 🦂 Scorpions emerge at night to hunt—using pincers and venom to strike unseen. Their nocturnal edge turns the desert into a battlefield.

This reminds me of when I saw a rattlesnake eating a bunny but it was too big for him to swallow so he had to give up so he probably died after that 💔 #NatureIsMetal

Location: Angelina National Forest A dramatic, high-contrast close-up of a Bald-faced Hornet nest built into the side of a texture pine tree. The image features a "moody" edit, with deep, dark shadows in the craggy fissures of the bark that make the tree look ancient and rugged. The nest itself is a swirling, papery orb of light greys and whites, creating a sharp focal point against the dark wood. Several hornets are visible near the entrance hole of the nest. The background is a soft, desaturated blur of forest greens and browns, ensuring all attention remains on the intricate, layered textures of the nest and the bark.

I found this deer carcass where some predator/scavenger dropped it mid drag across the road. Pretty amazing site, actually if a bit gruesome. Check out the short video to hear my guess about the dagger. #Wildlife #carcass #natureismetal

Whether you’re waiting on Old Faithful to do its thing or getting lost in the impossible blues of a thermal pool, the magic of the world’s first National Park is hitting different today. Yellowstone geyser ​#YellowstoneNationalPark #OldFaithful #GeyserBasin #NatureIsMetal #NationalParkGeek

Deer Caught Gnawing on Human Bones For the first time, researchers spotted a white-tailed deer chewing on a rib bone at a body farm

Deer are a lot creepier than they're given credit for.

Deer cause more human fatalities than all other mammals combined.

Deer eating bones isn't unheard of

Deer slurping baby birds out of their nests like screeching boba isn’t unheard of, either.

This deer speared its rival so hard it now carries the rotting head around. SO. FUCKING. METAL.

NASA’s Warning: Yellowstone Supervolcano & The "ZOMBIE" Anthrax Outbreak Is the ground beneath your feet trying to kill you? (Spoiler: Yes, it definitely is). We sat down to react to a terrifying History Channel documentary, and honestly? We might never sleep again. If you think global warming just means hotter summers, wait until you hear what’s waking up in the ice. In this episode, we are peeling back the layers of the Earth to expose the hidden dangers that threaten human extinction. First up, we look at Yellowstone National Park. It’s not just a place for yogi bears and geysers; NASA satellite imagery has confirmed a massive Supervolcano lurking right beneath the surface. We discuss the rock analysis that proves this monster is still active and ask the big question: Is a volcanic winter closer than we think? But wait, it gets worse! We then travel to the frozen wastelands of Siberia, where melting permafrost is releasing something out of a horror movie. We break down the real-life Anthrax outbreak—caused by "Zombie" spores from a thawed-out reindeer—that proved biological history doesn't stay buried forever. We break down: - The NASA Discovery: How satellites found the magma plume under Yellowstone. - The "Zombie" Bacteria: How ancient Anthrax survives for centuries in ice. - Reaction & Analysis: Are these just scare tactics, or should we be prepping for the apocalypse? Join us as we laugh through the fear and analyze the science behind the End of the World. It’s nature vs. humanity, and nature is playing dirty. 👇 Hit Play before the volcano erupts! Did this episode freak you out? Make sure to SUBSCRIBE/FOLLOW and leave a 5-star review so we can keep bringing you the scariest truths on the planet! FAQ for this Episode: - Is the Yellowstone Supervolcano active? Yes, NASA imagery and rock analysis confirm the volcano beneath Yellowstone is active, though an eruption is not currently predicted. - What is the Siberian Anthrax outbreak? It was a biological event where melting permafrost thawed a frozen reindeer carcass infected with anthrax, releasing spores that infected humans and animals. - Can melting ice release viruses? Yes, permafrost acts as a freezer, preserving ancient bacteria and viruses (like Anthrax) that can reactivate when thawed.

Peering through two trees in the foreground, a black and red southern grounded hornbill is eating a baby chick with the head in its mouth, and the body on the ground. A large log can be seen behind it.

#NatureIsMetal On first glance, this looks like an art piece made of frog legs with raw meat still stuck to them.

A black and red southern ground hornbill with a baby bird captured and dangling from its beak. A fallen log and a tree are both visible in the picture as well as two blurred trees in the forefront.

The image captures a moment where a smaller Red-winged Blackbird, is mobbing a Red-tailed Hawk perched on a tree branch. This is after a chase through the sky to drive home the message. This is my area dammit! Mobbing is an anti-predator behavior where individuals of a certain species harass a predator.

Red-tailed Hawk: Looking for a quiet spot.

Red-Winged Blackbird: I’m gonna need to see your permit for this air space. This is a territorial dispute! 🪶🌿🦉🦅🐦‍⬛🍁

Fly on small yellow and white flower. Fly has white face, dark red eyes, and spiky hairs on its body and legs.

Fly whose eyes have darker curvy designs on them and a bronze thorax. (Unfortunately not all in focus).

Some goth flies from last weekend to wrap up #flyday. Tachinid fly Juriniopsis adjusta and the appealingly named Wavy Mucksucker (Orthonevra nitida).
