Nature Is Metal (21 Pics & Vids)

Most of us don’t really experience nature. Sure, you might go hiking or camping, and you might see a bear or some wolves and you feel that weird tingle that comes from being back in the food chain.

There’s so much more out there we never even see. You ever see pictures of those things that swim in the deeeeeep ocean. Fuck that. Nature is insane.
