Warning: Not For The Weak Stomached
You have been warned. The following images are very cringe
worthy. Some, you won’t even be able to look at for more than 2 seconds. But,
at least you will be able to say that you have seen the the most cringe worthy
images of all time. If that’s on your bucket list, you can now cross that baby
right off. Needless to say there are some odd events going on in the
world today. It never ceases to amaze me. These images prove that no number of
scientists, doctors, explorers, etc, will be able to discover ALL there is to
see in this mysterious planet we all live in.
The biggest snail on Earth? It’s the largest species of
gastropod in American waters, anyway. Lovingly referred to as the Florida horse conch,
Triplofusus giganteus is a marine mollusc, whose enormous size and orange body
makes it distinguishable on the ocean floor.
Giant earthworm
Doctors have successfully reattached a man’s severed hand
after it was attached to his ankle for a month. On November 10, Xiao Wei’s
right hand was severed due to an accident at work. Doctors here were hopeful
they could re-attach the hand, but not right away. So, in order to stop the
severed hand from dying, they attached it to his ankle. Nearly a month after
his hand was severed, Xiao had recovered enough to undergo re-attachment
surgery. While he will need to undergo several other operations, doctors are
confident he will regain full use of his hand again.

Evisceration, Enucleation, and Exenteration are the three
main surgical techniques by which all or part of the orbital contents are
removed. Exenteration is the most radical of the three procedures and involves
removal of the eye, adnexa, and part of the bony orbit.
The creation of prosthetic nipples. NippleNipple/Areola
prostheses are made of silicone by anaplastologists for breast cancer survivors
who were treated for breast cancer with a mastectomy. Prostheses can be worn
weeks after a mastectomy, breast reconstruction, or even nipple reconstruction.
A Chinese man has undergone surgery to remove a 3.3lb
(1.5kg) tumour from his face. Huang Chuncai, 37, from Hunan
province, has been dubbed ‘China’s
Elephant Man’. He suffers from an extreme case of neurofibromatosis, which has
caused large tumours on his face that have completely distorted his features.
He is said to have the world’s worst recorded case of the condition.
Large Nope on doorhandle.
Scientists in Mexico’s Laguna Ojo de Liebre, or
Scammon’s Lagoon, discovered conjoined gray whale calves, which could be the
first documented case of Siamese twin gray whales.
An elk has been found frozen solid after falling through the
icy surface of a Norwegian lake. The animal was found frozen in the middle of
the water near Bodø in northern Norway
with just its antler visible above the ice.
Baby fawn sleeps next to its dead mother.
A Chinese man who got a bottle stuck in his anus was forced
to go to hospital for medical help after attempting – and failing – to fish it
out using a curved piece of wire. The man went to hospital in Fuzhou,
capital of southeast China’s
Fujian Province, complaining of stomach pains.
However, when doctors inquired about the cause the man claimed he had no idea
what was responsible. It was only when staff performed X-rays that they
discovered a bottle and a curved piece of wire lodged in his abdomen.
Syndactyly is a condition wherein two or more digits are
fused together.
These photographs show an 8ft African rock python devouring
a young impala in the Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana.
Frostbite occurs when tissues freeze. This condition happens
when you are exposed to temperatures below the freezing point of skin.
The world’s most dangerous hiking trail is said to be the
Huashan Trail. This Chinese mountain ridge consists of five peaks, the highest
at 2154m. The spine-tingling hike is located 120 km east of a city called Xi’an. The trail has a
long history of religious significance with a temple located at the summit.
This is the Budapest Pigeon. The breed was developed around
1907 by the Poltl brothers of Budapest
for high-flying, though its now used primarily in showroom competitions .
They’re one of the top flying pigeon breeds, able to stay in flight for up to 5
hours at a time.
It turns out that putting a certain type of plankton under
stress results in one of the most stress-relieving sights on the planet, their
resultant blue glow creating astral patterns on sea shores. The surreal
appearance of the Maldives
beach was actually down to a massive tide of bioluminescent phytoplankton
called Lingulodinium polyedrum however. The tiny organisms emit light when
stressed, be it by the lapping of waves, the carving action of a surf board or
other, creating what looks like a network of stars.
A fisherman from New Zealand was left baffled when
he caught this see-through shrimp-like creature swimming near the surface of
the ocean. Deborah Cracknell, research lead from the National Marine Aquarium
in Plymouth,believes
the creature is a Salpa maggiore(Salpa maxima). The salp is barrel-shaped and
moves by contracting, pumping water through its gelatinous body. It strains the
water through its internal feeding filters, feeding on phytoplankton from the
upper sunlit layer of the ocean. They have an interesting life-cycle with
alternate generations existing as solitary individuals or groups forming long
chains.
