85 Times Mother Nature Proved To Be Jeepers Creepers
There is a saying 'the Devil is in the details,' but for all we know he may well just be hiding in tree branches and our very own toilets in the form of wild creatures.
From evil-looking birds to nosy grizzlies, and a gazillion of different forms of daddy longlegs, it's safe to assume that not all encounters with wildlife are pleasant. Some of the furry bastards venture into the comfort of our homes, refuse to pay rent and serve as a chilling reminder that beauty, truly, is in the eye of the beholder. After preparing this scary list for you, we rather admire nature from a safe distance for a while, thanks.

#23 The Horrific Mouth Of A Lamprey (Bloodsucking Parasite). This One Was Over 120cm (47”) Long And As Thick As A Man’s Arm
Their mouth is full of razor-sharp spikey teeth designed to attach themselves to a fish. It then use its tongue (which also has many teeth on it!) to bore into the flesh of fish and drink their blood. Sometimes they also attack humans.
