To have a little bit of fun, artist Marty Cooper drew some cute critters and funny looking monsters on a transparent sheet and inserted them into real life. As in he superimposed his drawings into the environment around him. It’s like what the world would look like if monsters were living among us.
Damn, that’s a big boar. Hunter Jett Webb took down this ginormous seven-foot-long and 500 pound boar on a hunt in North Carolina with just one shot from his AR-15 rifle from 50 to 100 yards away. Webb didn’t even realize how big it was until he came up next to it. It’s big. I mean, look at that thing.

Ancient myths of dragons, titans, and giants—inhuman creatures battling it out on an alien earth before mankind—are easy enough to find. Seemingly every culture has them. What’s perhaps more surprising is that many of these tales of deformed and monstrous beings, whether terrifying dragons or beneficent heroes armed for battle, often resulted from a misunderstanding of the fossil record.

This amazing sea creature is an Architeuthis. Or a Kraken, as the ancient vikings used to call it. We knew the kraken wasn’t a mythical creature. Giant squids like this have been captured in the past, usually near the sea’s surface, but this is the first time one has been filmed alive in the wild, majestically swimming at 2,066 feet underwater.
