Yeah, I read that and also considered posting it here.
It's "nature red in tooth and claw" 😬 fer shure, fer shure.

Not quite Jaw-dropping but still pretty cool.
Someone on the Woodworking forum I'm on posted this pic of a piece of wood he found at the timber supply
Some folks (on that forum) saw a wood sprite, some saw a lion.
I saw a wood sprite first; I only saw the lion when someone mentioned it.

Can't see the Balrog but I do see the Bighorn

They could be twins. Happy on the left, Grumpy on the right.

Woody the dog.

 

[Deimos]

That looks a lot more like a dog than the other one looks like a lion or a Bighorn

Ah, I see you've caught footage of how the Balrog felt before and after our duel began.

My first thought was a bear.

You have a better imagination than I 😄

Take another look. I revised the captions.

Not just pics, but a whole video.
Imagine you are the seal ...just imagine.....😱
To finally "dislodge" the unfortunate seal from the now much smaller ice floe the orcs use "wave-washing".
Look it up; pretty fascinating.

A true jaw-dropping nature picture....
Well, at least it's a story related to "dropping" and "nature" (sort of 🙄😄)
(@Elthir sorry about the cat... collateral damage in this sort of thing, you know... 😬)

Yeah we just heard the news! But I'm on the case now!

And. . . we'll just see who dropped who through a
windshield! I don't believe everything in the news

 

[Eljorahir]

"Bald eagle dropped a cat through car windshield, driver says"

Really? Doesn't anybody even try to write a decent headline anymore? How about...

Feathery Fiend in Flight Flings Furry Feline!

 

[Elthir]

My investigation demands
a verrry different headline.

Twisted Trooper Tells Tall Tale!

The truth?

Tremendously Tough Tabby Terrifies Timid Townsfolk, Tossing Tender Tasty Turkeys inTo Toyotas!

Kind of about "nature" ... sort of. Poor little guy... I actually feel sorry for him.
(Do we have a "funny nature pictures" sub forum? If so, one of the mods can move this.
If not maybe we should, and leave this forum to really truly jaw-dropping pics in nature.)
