Unbelievable Camouflage by Satanic leaf-tailed gecko.

The satanic leaf-tailed gecko from Madagascar is a master of disguise, but that's not the only way it

avoids an attack from predators. It flattens its body against the leaves to reduce its shadow, and

opens its jaws wide to show an intimidating, bright red mouth. Like many other lizards, it can also shed its own tail to distract a predator.

This is what happens to human skin when it’s struck by lightning!

It’s called a Lichtenberg figure — the branching pattern made by electricity as seen

on the arm of Winston Kemp who was struck by lightning

this is how giraffes drink water

During the mating season, the female sits on a nesting ring while the males searches the entire beach for the pebbles

looking for the smoothest one to present to their chosen female. Once a pebble has been selected, the male penguins

presents the pebble as a token of love to the chosen female and if she takes the pebble and places it on her nest then

she has accepted that penguin as her mate.
