Damn Nature, You Scary!

Raptorial Prey Restraint

"Source":http://emilywilloughby.com/gallery/paleoart/deinonychus-prey-restraint From the source: This is an illustration based on the new paper by Fowler et al, which discusses a likely possible method of predation byDeinonychus and other dromaeosaurs (the "raptor prey restraint" model, or RPR). This excellent publication is available free to download. It suggests that the unique foot morphology of dromaeosaurs was an adaptation to take prey in a very similar manner to extant birds of prey: by grasping with the foot claws, digging in with the hypertrophied "sickle" claw, and tightly hanging on to the prey animal as it struggles and thrashes around. The dromaeosaur would then begin to feed on it while it's still alive, until it finally dies from blood loss and organ failure, all the while standing on top of the animal to pin it down (a likely use of the unusually short ankles found in dromaeosaurs) and using primitive flight strokes with its "wings" to maintain balance. The primary animal of study in the RPR paper is Deinonychus, so that's what I've drawn here. It is shown preying on the basal ornithopod Zephyrosaurus. Though Deinonychus is usually depicted in a dense floodplain environment, here I've reconstructed it amongst some higher-altitude arid North American mountains.

Scared of spiders? This is an Assassin bug. It tricks spiders by mimicking helpless prey caught in a spiders web. When the spiders run towards it, the Assassin bug stabs the spider with its snout. After feeding it wears the corpse of the victim as armor. There are more f----- up things out there than spiders.

Any Animal That Touches This Lethal Lake Turns to Stone

"Source":gizmodo.com/any-animal-that-touches-this-lethal-lake-turns-to-stone-1436606506 There's a deceptively still body of water in Tanzania with a deadly secret—it turns any animal it touches to stone. The rare phenomenon is caused by the chemical makeup of the lake, but the petrified creatures it leaves behind are straight out of a horror film. Photographed by Nick Brandt in his new book, Across the Ravaged Land, petrified creatures pepper the area around the lake due to its constant pH of 9 to 10.5—an extremely basic alkalinity that preserves these creatures for eternity.
