35 Unsettling Pictures Showing Mother Nature Is Absolutely Terrifying

I used to live in the Pacific Northwest. I loved to go hiking in the woods there, but I always kept a health fear of Mother Nature. The forest is dense. It’s easy to get lost. There are brown recluse spiders that can kill you. The weather can change on a dime. And don’t get me started on Bigfoot.

Anyway, nature is nuts and there are so many things out there that we forget about living in big cities. These terrifying pictures show exactly the wild stuff that is out there.
