This scary photo of a bear was taken in 1996 by a camper who got attacked and mauled to death in his own tent. Michio Hoshino was a widely known nature photographer who specialized in photographing the wildlife of Alaska. Sadly, this was the last photo he had ever taken. The incident took place in Kurilshoye Lake in Russia.

Now this is something you probably haven’t seen before. This creature is called the star-nosed mole and it has a total of 22 pink spikes surrounding its nose. These odd-looking spikes are actually sensory organs called Elmer’s organs.

Sadly, we don’t know how this situation played out put the picture shows a rather sad incident where a seagull tried to save his friend from a bald eagle.

This adorable brown panda is the only left example of this species in the world. Qizai didn’t only suffer from loneliness but also from bullying, as other pandas didn’t accept him.
Even his own mother abandoned him in a Chinese Forest but, luckily, he was found by humans and later taken to the Foping Panda Valley in China. He has been safe for years there and his caretakers are even trying to find him a mate.

Australia Zoo Crococdile in 1996
Here is the popular crocodile hunter Steve Irwin with his wife, Terri. Steve was, however, more than just an ordinary hunter. He was also a showman, an educator, and a television personality. It was a huge shock to find out about his sudden death in 2006. Unfortunately, Steve was killed by a wild animal while filming one of his TV episodes.

This photo shows two snakes battling for life, a scene commonly seen in nature. In this case, we have a King Cobra fighting against a Python. However, neither of these two snakes won the battle. The cobra died of constriction, while the python was killed by the venomous bite of the cobra.
