Scientists from The University of Western Australia and Kelpie Geosciences in the UK have captured footage of a rarely seen Dana octopus squid, which features giant bioluminescent headlights on two of its arms. The photophores are some of the largest in the world — about the size of lemons. Damn!

SPOILER: Nothing to do with the earth’s gravity or oxygen supply. It involves the dinosaurs’ air sacs (still present in modern birds), which allowed them to remain relatively
Seen here looking like a deleted scene from Twilight, this is some footage from a trail cam set up by McGill University professor of evolutionary ecology Andrew Hendry, which is spotted by a pack of 15 wolves. The wolves then proceed to investigate the camera and surrounding area to determine
This is a video from train conductor Eric Carlisle in Waverly, Nebraska of an EF-3 tornado (3-second gust speeds of 135-165MPH) passing directly over the locomotive and breaking the windows.

Note: Image above has no frog, scroll down for the full image, I didn’t want to make it too easy with a crop. This is a photo of a tree with a well camouflaged frog hiding in plain sight. Can you spot it? I spotted it almost immediately, but I’m
