While we at Bright Side are experts at writing articles filled with cools facts, we’ve just learned about the aforementioned ones. And if this is the first time you’ve ever heard about these things, here are some details and evidence to prove that it’d be foolish to claim we know everything about this world.
1. “What do you think is this? I found it in the sea. When you touch it, it feels like hard jelly. Image search suggested that this is a persimmon, aspen mushroom, or an amber.”
Answer: This is the Actinia schmidti sea anemone.
2. This is not a tree but a sintered soil, commonly known as fulgurite, that forms when powerful lightning strikes sand or rocks. It’s fragile and very rare.
3. The Iranian Hormuz Island is considered a branch of Mars on Earth because of its red sand and water. It contains a lot of ochre, a natural pigment that consists of ferric oxide with portions of clay and sand.
4. Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain, Peru
5. Marine iguanas often allow lava lizards to climb on their heads.
6. Stones move by themselves in the dried-up Racetrack Playa lake and it was recently discovered why. Sometimes, at the bottom of the lake, a thin layer of ice forms. When the weather gets warmer, the layers of ice start breaking and become plates, allowing this movement which is caused by the wind.
7. “I took a picture of this beautiful butterfly in my garden. It’s called the Cinnabar moth.”
9. The green heron can extend its neck like a telescope.
10. Incredible rainbow obsidian
11. Unusual lilac flowers
12. “Black petunias from my garden”
13. A baobab tree in Madagascar
14. This is the giraffe weevil from Madagascar. It needs a long neck to fight for female weevils.
15. Unicorn lizard from Sri Lanka
16. An elegant worm from the island of Borneo
17. Mossy frog
18. Have a look at how this white opal shimmers.
