Even though this bird’s coloring could impress any fashion designer, it doesn’t like to show off. The varied bunting (Passerina Versicolor) is a shy bird and often hides in desert scrubs. It is a songbird from the cardinal Cardinalidae family. A sturdy bird with a very short tail, males are only 4.3-5.5 inches long. They have a mosaic of rich plum, crimson, lavender, violet, cherry red, and blue, becoming browner towards fall. The females and the young ones are light to chestnut brown and speckled with white. Most varied buntings live in Mexico, but they spill across the US border.…

Los lagartos monitores son famosos por sus extremidades robustas, ¡pero es esa cola la que debes cuidar! Las colas pueden representar, por lo general, la mitad de la longitud del cuerpo de la lagartija y darte una buena paliza. Cuando se enfrentan, los lagartos monitores tratan de hincharse tanto como sea posible, haciéndose parecer más grandes y más amenazantes. Se paran erguidos sobre todas las patas, inflando los pulmones, aplanando la espalda, emitiendo un silbido y algunos también se balancean de un lado a otro. Como última medida de protección, abren la boca todo lo que pueden. Si se le acerca, el monitor…

The natural world around us is full of miracles that sometimes humans cannot fully explain. For example, recently, the image of a fish is said to be a carp, but the head is no different from a bird that makes people constantly talk. The man tried to hold the fish. A social media account has just posted a video of a guy trying to lift a fish with a special shape to take a picture. Due to the fish’s natural response when not in the water, it constantly struggles, looking extremely alive. Therefore, many people believe that this is not…
The gigantic belly bulged, 22-foot-long python was discovered in a rubbish area. The locals asserted that the snake had been consuming household and stray animals to survive. The large serpent was spotted slithering among abandoned construction materials at a deserted construction site in the province of Sisaket. When animal handlers came, they were able to rescue the animal from the complex nest it had constructed behind a group of deteriorated concrete pillars. One of them, Piyachat Charoensopha, said it was one of the biggest snakes they had ever seen. The snake may have consumed stray animals while it was spending…
These images demonstrate how a warthog and two baboons that adore riding on his back have developed an unexpected bond. When the animals first met at Zɪᴍʙᴀʙᴡᴇ’s “Free to be Wild” wildlife rehabilitation facility, they formed a special bond. After being washed down in a river during a flood with his sister, 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 warthog Bangwe was brought to the facility where he met baboon Umfazi who had previously been there for a year. After her mother was fatally ᴍᴜʀᴅᴇʀed on a farm four years ago, the infant baboon was saved when she was only a few weeks old. The monkey…
The Dinka people of South Sudan are known all over the world for their height. Their homeland is sometimes referred to as the land of giants – understandably so, as on average, their men stand almost 6ft and women are not lagging much behind, either.

This nightmarish parasitic isopod lives in the mouth of fish, replacing their tongues and feasting on their blood. These isopods live in the mouths of fish rent free. Image source: MrMiracle27 While we at Earthly Mission have previously covered some truly creepy marine creatures, such as the Atlantic wolffish, or the sarcastic fringehead, the tongue-eating louse may top it all off when it comes to creepiness. The Cymothoa exigua, or the tongue-eating louse, is an isopod (a group of animals, which also includes crabs and shrimp) that spends most of its life inside the mouths of different fish. They are known to remove the tongue,…
Scientists have just discovered a strange creature with a fish-like body but frog legs on the coast of the city of Santos, Sao Paulo state, Brazil. This creature has a fish-like appearance with two fins developed next to the body. The fin looks both like a frog’s leg and like an outstretched wing. Based on the shape, scientists can guess this strange creature is a mutated long-nosed batfish. So its mouth grows a scary-looking mass of excess flesh. Newly discovered strange creature in Santos, Brazil may be a mutated long-nosed batfish. Newly discovered strange creature in Santos, Brazil may be a mutated long-nosed…
The fishermen were taken aback when they came across this odd critter that appeared to be from another planet. Oscar Lundahl nearly jumped out of his fishing boat when he first saw the strange-looking species with bulbous eyes. The Latin name of the ratfish is Chimaeras Monstrosa Linnaeus. It started from the Greek mythological creature with a dragon’s tail and a lion’s head. Strange creatures are rarely caught since they live in deep water. They may have developed big eyes to help them see in such deep, dark places. Oscar, a 19-year-old fishing guide of Nordic Sea Angling, ᴀᴄᴄɪᴅᴇɴᴛly caught…
Wildlife photographer Chris Brunsᴋɪʟʟ was left astonished when he saw a cunning jaguar ambush and ᴋɪʟʟ a yacare caiman after a protracted and difficult struggle on a river in a remote part of Bʀᴀᴢɪʟ. Dramatic pictures showed the big cat surprising the reptile and pouncing on it, starting an uncommon ғɪɢʜᴛ to the ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ. The young jaguar wrestled with the caiman for more than twenty minutes, sinking its massive jaws into the reptile’s neck and the back of its skull. The predator turned prey for a much larger animal and the caiman bravely attempted to flee but was dragged deeper…
