This is a rare Mexican Alligator lizard. They are threatened with extinction due to deforestation and because of poachers.
These birds live in Qualicum Beach, Canada. They have leucism, a condition in which there is loss of pigmentation. Around 10 years ago, 2 birds with leucism met and gave birth to their offspring that inherited this feature. Each year, the number of white crows in Qualicum Beach grows.

It’s all about the electromagnetic radiation that is formed around power lines which makes light bulbs light up on their own, hair stand on end, and the air smell like ozone.

This is a large flying fox that eats fruit. Their size is really impressive. Some of these animals are as big as a 6-year-old child. Despite their size, they aren’t predators, but it’s better not to come face-to-face with them since they carry viruses that are extremely dangerous for humans.
