Little Cormorant Phalacrocorax niger

Cormorants get their name from "marine crows" and even in my mother tongue it is called neerkakka or "water crow". They have the remarkable ability to swim and chase underwater to catch fish. This is possible due to their remarkable adaptations of wettable feathers and webbed feet. They are resident in most parts of India and are commonly seen in or near waterbodies and are usually found drying their wet feathers. I was walking back at the end of a birding trip when this one was sitting alone in a pensive mood and didn't seem to notice me allowing me to get close and take this shot full frame and in portrait mode.

Sailing stones of Death Valley

Sailing stones, sliding rocks, and moving rocks all refer to a geological phenomenon where rocks move in long tracks along a smooth valley floor without human or animal intervention. They have been recorded and studied in a number of places around Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, where the number and length of travel grooves are notable. The force behind their movement is not confirmed and is the subject of research.Some stones make linear turns others make oval turns while others create a wavy shape on their tracks. No one has ever seen them move and nobody knows the speed they move with. The mysterious sailing stones of Death Valley turn while they are sliding through the flat leveled valley and this leaves different tracks behind them. Some stones move further than others over two to five years.

Stunning Photos Capture of Antarctica's Icebergs

Tokyo-based nature and wildlife photographer Martin Bailey captures the otherworldly beauty of Antarctica in this fascinating photo series. Though the frozen continent is home to numerous seals and penguins, but the brave Martin Bailey chose to snap the sweeping landscape without any signs of life, instead focusing on the harsh and otherworldly beauty of 1,000-year-old icebergs and glaciers. With a striking palette of pure white, icy blue, pale aqua, and deep cobalt, Bailey's spectacular photographs draw parallels between manmade civilizations and the isolated, natural allure of Antarctica. Therefore; towering, monolithic ice formations evoke the imagery of architectural form such as grand palaces, impenetrable fortresses, and even great pyramids. Splendid in snow and ice, the frozen tundra's mesmerizing attractiveness looks like something from a dream or another world.

Mutant Giant Spider Dog

Well, what’d you do if you saw a huge, mutant spider-creature running straight towards you? As shown in the funny viral video "Mutant Giant Spider Dog," most folks flee in complete terror. You just no need to panic, though; the onslaught of giant, mutant spiders is not yet upon us.

As shown by Poland-based prankster Sylwester Adam Wardęga (a.k.a. "SA Wardęga"), the horrendous, and eight-legged monster was nothing more than his loveable dog, “Chica”, cunningly dressed up in a furry costume and unleashed onto the unwary public. In the video, you can clearly see “Chica the DogSpider” scuttling cheerily after each innocent victim, looking like the stuff of nightmares emerging from dark alleys and shadowy corners. Even one man, in the middle of taking out his garbage, flees for his life upon seeing “Chica” pop out from behind a door.

Moreover; in another scene, two girls run away shouting from the frightening sight of the furry creature preying on a seemingly lifeless man in an elevator. Then a couple is seen cautiously approaching a spider-web-wrapped form in the trees, only to sprint right out of the park when “Chica” appears. One exclusively funny scene shows a man confronted with numerous bloody, dangling limbs, which he stops to snap a photo of before being rushed by the mutant monster straight into a close spider-web. In a moment of intensified tension, the gentleman struggles to escape, but absolutely disentangles himself just in time to get away.

Adorable Topiary Sculpture of a Sleeping Baby Bird by Claude Ponti

Some peoples are blessed with natural abilities to do something different. Like, French artist Claude Pointi, who produced a beautiful sculpture in a large botanical garden.  So if you happen to discover yourself in Nantes, France, be sure to head to Jardin des Plantes, a big botanical garden. Where you will find this delectable topiary sculpture titled “Poussin endormi” (Sleepy Chick) by French artist Claude Ponti. 

It features a larger-than-life baby bird whose relaxed pose looks like it’s in the middle of a nap. The amusing work showcases Ponti’s great abilities in crafting a topiary. Ponti’s creates evenly-textured, rounded forms that are punctuated with metal details like long, thin legs and a bright yellow beak. There’re even miniature eyelashes that dot the bird’s closed eyes! This lovely topiary is part of a larger exhibition of Ponti’s work that’s available for view through October 20 of this year.Source: Charismatic Planet
