I'll translate what they are saying in this video...

Re: Nature is Horrifying
How about this adorable photo of a kangaroo cuddling his fallen mate, perhaps so she can see her child one last time?
Or is that what's happening?

Koalas may not be hard, but that kangaroo sure is.But the Australian Museum quickly weighed in with another interpretation of the image, with principal research scientist Dr Mark Eldridge saying the picture shows the standing male is in a state of sexual excitement and is “trying to get a female to stand up so he can mate with her.”
Other commentators say that the male may well have been trying to mate with the female for some time and, along the way, caused the injuries that killed the animal.

Re: Nature is Horrifying
Just because I posted the above and semi-regularly post links to worst case scenarios for the Pacific Northwest, here is similarly themed article on the potential for wild fires in South Jersey.rass wrote:Fucking wildfires.
Crazy reading about all of the complex multi-level infrastructure we have in place to fight them (which under other circumstances would be interesting to learn about on its own) and it just fails because it was quickly and fully overwhelmed.
Wildfire damage to a city can be astronomical. America's worst contemporary wildfire hit Oakland in 1991. It killed 25, destroyed 3,300 homes and 2,000 vehicles, and cost $2.67 billion in losses. A New Jersey megafire could dwarf that record. In the Pinelands, half a million people and billions in property abut woods that Pyne called "the biotic equivalent of a munitions depot... among the most flammable landscapes in America."

Not horrifying (unless you count nearly being eaten by a jaguar), but incredible. A remote camera in the Amazon.

Golfing today, hit a ball that slowly rolled into a pond. Went to see if I could get it and the water was black.
