A photograph captures the moment a mother jackal chases down an eagle that has kidnapped her cub. The images were taken by wildlife photographer Ateeb Hussain, who was in the right place at the right time to capture the jackal in action. As you can see in the picture, nature is brutal, but this time the creepy story had a happy ending. The place is the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, where an eagle swung over a small jackal cub and took it away. However, the mother of the animal was lurking and wouldn’t let her puppy get lost. It is known that after the action, the jackal not only rescued its seemingly uninjured pup, but was also able to hide it in a cave from poachers.

Crotalaria cunninghamii, also known as the green birdflower or Regal Birdflower, is a truly fascinating plant native to inland northern Australia. What makes it so striking is its unusual flowers — the petals are shaped in such a way that they resemble tiny, green hummingbirds in flight. The illusion is so convincing that at first glance, it looks like a cluster of birds feeding from the plant. Some experts suggest that the flower’s shape may be an adaptation to attract bird pollinators, such as honeyeaters, which are common in its native habitat. The Aboriginal communities have also traditionally used its sap to treat eye infections. Despite their bird-like appearance, these flowers are all-natural, a perfect example of how surreal and artistic nature can be. The plant belongs to the legume family

These salt deposits were formed during the “Messinian Salinity Crisis”, a geological event during which the Mediterranean Sea was cut off from the Atlantic Ocean and dried up (or mostly dried up), creating massive deposits of previously dissolved salts. This occurred at the end of the Messinian age of the Miocene epoch, from 5.96 to 5.33 million years ago, ending when the Atlantic again flowed into the basin

Just as impressive underground as above ground. Despite their incredible heights of 300+ feet, typical redwood root systems are relatively shallow, only 6 to 12 feet deep. Redwoods create the strength to withstand powerful winds and floods by extending their roots outwards, up to 100 feet wide from the trunk, and living in groves where their roots can intertwine. This ancient giant fell naturally and will continue to provide life to seedlings as a nurse log for many years to come. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.
