50 Of The Most Horrific Things Mother Nature Produced That People Caught On Camera (New Pics)
There are arguably as many beautiful creatures in the world as there are creepy ones. But since they’re not as pleasant to look at, the latter might not appear on your news feed as often as puppies or kittens do.
Well, today we want to shed light on the underdogs, the eyesores, the fascinating yet at the same time disgusting creations of Mother Nature. If you think you’re brave enough to see them, scroll down to find an entire list of some of the most bizarre-looking creatures out there. But if you are squeamish about spiders, weird aquatic beings, and reptiles, among other similar things, you might want to check out some dog memes instead.
Here at Bored Panda we were curious to learn more about all sorts of weird-looking beings, so we got in touch with the evolutionary biologist and Professor at the Department of Biology at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, Dr. Robert Montgomerie, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions. If you’re curious, too, scroll down to see what the professor had to say about them.

There Is Something Attractive And Repulsive About Crabs. Mother Nature Tried
Tabitha 3 months ago
Not horrific, and I say that as someone who has been clipped by crab claws that actually drew blood, and a lot of it. Stepped on a crab when I was 9, and the claw sliced that bit of web between my big toe and the toe next to it. Sliced all the way through it, like a pair of sharp scissors. Hurt like hell, but healed up just fine, and crazy fast for some reason (maybe because I was 9?).

I think it's hilarious how scared of spiders the average person is. But then they see giant sea-spiders and their mouth waters. 🤣

Oh I just saw something like this in a Florida couples home after hurricane Ian. The independent insurance adjuster said they need over 200k in repairs including a new roof. The desk adjuster illegally changed it, per companies instruction, to 15k, after the deductible they got 9,000 and two years later they still have not been able to afford a roof and now have molds like this growing inside the house. It was a coordinated effort of several insurance companies to defraud victims of hurricane Ian.

I'm Pretty Sure I Came Across The Scene Of A Crime This Afternoon
The smaller spider looks like a widow to me. At first, I thought it was a black widow, but it has more of a brown color, and I don't recognize the red stripe. Plus, its web is in an exposed location above a window on the outside of our house. What is it?
The bigger one (the victim, I think) is curled up, not moving, and partially wrapped in webbing. I thought it might be a tarantula, but I'm not sure. It has really fuzzy legs and body.
