Creepy Facts About Nature That’ll Haunt Your Nightmares

By Editorial Staff in Nature On 26th August 2016

Nature is filled with mysterious wonderment. However, some of these mysteries are better left uncovered because they’re creepy as hell! Sit back, relax, and get ready to contract a major case of the heebie jeebies when you scroll through these 15 examples of how Mother Nature likes to punk us

#1 Psychotic Little Fulmar Chick

Oh hell no! Talk about a horrific way to lose your life. Note to self: Stay away from Fulmar chicks.

In the Animal Kingdom, vomiting brown, sticky death fluid on your prey is perfectly acceptable.

#2 Horrifying Crab Seal Gob

No. Just no. We want nothing to do with the toothy nightmares that lurk within the mouth of this crab seal.

Imagine being this guy's dentist.

#3 Cordyceps Infected Tarantula

Yes, folks, it is possible for tarantulas to become even scarier than what they already are. Cordyceps is a parasitic fungus that munches on the host's body leaving "antlers" behind in it's wake.

Some species of the Cordyceps fungus can control the minds of their hosts, causing them to be zombie-like.

#4 Instant Sex Change

Just think if human males settled their differences in this way? Bar fights would be taken to a whole âÂ€Â˜nother level, son.

Ben just became "Betty" after losing the penis fight against Charles.

#5 Tongue-Devouring Isopod

Oh. My. Gawd. Was Mother Nature having a bad day when she created a species that attaches itself to the tongues of fish?

Isopods eat the fish's tongue and act as the new tongue. Awesome.

#6 Meet The Mu Fish

If you look closely, you can see that the Mu Fish has teeth that are similar to those of human beings. Clearly, he needs to see an orthodontist.

Somebody get this guy some toothpaste.

#7 Spider-Tailed Viper Snake

If the name itself doesn't freak you the hell out, watch this snake's tail "walk." We don't like the spider-tailed viper snake.

Researchers are unsure of why this snake has a spidey tail.

#8 Red-Lipped Batfish

This fabulous looking creature is the red-lipped batfish. She doesn't swim so well, but spends her time applying lipstick and walking around the ocean floor.

Margaret, the red-lipped batfish, was disheartened to find out her lip balm had been discontinued.

#9 Nobody’s Home!

This spider constructed his own man cave, and he doesn't want you bothering him. No problem there, spider dude.

Richard the Spider told his children many times to shut the door on their way out.

#10 Teeth Of Steel

Better watch which appendages come in contact with this fish's mouth. Who would have thought a fish could take a bite out of a tin can?

What are your strongest qualities Mr. Fish? Biting shit.

#11 Cookiecutter Shark

Get a load out of those teeth! No, we won't be inviting Cookiecutter shark over to our house for holiday baking.

Stick your finger in my mouth. I dare you.

#12 Tiger Sharks Are Vicious Even Before They’re Born

Can you imagine struggling to stay alive while still in your mother's womb because your siblings are trying to eat you? Welcome to the gestation period of a tiger shark.

Go hide behind a fallopian tube or something.

#13 Gladiator Spider

This Gladiator Spider stealthily uses its web to catch its prey. Fascinating.

Thank God these spiders aren't human-sized.

#14 Parastatic Party

So, um, yeah. That awful looking wiggle worm thing that's coming out of this dead bug? That's a parasite. You can't unsee this.

Parasites enjoy long walks on the beach, wine, and devouring the insides of the dead.

#15 What The Hell…

Could somebody please kill this thing? Like, right now! That'd be greeaattt.

This gigantic spider is on a mission to teach that snake a lesson.
