The Weirdest Phenomenons in the Natural World

Hairy Trees

It’s not a hoax! Imagine a tree that grows hair on its bark. In the US, the Catalpa Bignonioides tree is known to have soft and silky hair, which can grow up to five inches long. Scientists are still researching the evolutionary purpose of this extreme hair growth. One theory is that the hair helps to insulate the tree and provides shade during hot weather.

Stone Mushroom

Mushrooms are a regular sight in forests, but have you seen the rock-like ones that grow on mountains? These formations are commonly called “stone mushrooms,” which are created by layers of calcium carbonate and can grow up to several inches tall. Sometime tourists join the layer by creating their stone mushroom-inspired recognition.

Twisted Junipers

Imagine if you woke up one day and found out that your tree outside your window was twisted into a mesmerizing shape? Well, the Alligator Juniper in North America does it better. The resinous substance and natural elements combine to create a twisted silhouette. Rest assured no one has yet tamed the Juniper animal.

Blood Rain

This natural phenomenon sounds bizarre, but it happens. It’s called Red Rain or Blood Rain, and it happens when rainfall picks up particles like sand, dust, or microorganisms. Scientists indicated that the microorganisms in blood rains could survive and lead to widespread damage to crops and animals.

Goblin Valley

In Utah, millions of popular black rocks shaped like a goblin were found in groups over the Moenkopi Formation. And that’s how the Goblin Valley came to life. The place became small tourist and photographer magnets due to its odd and alien-like moves, which look dust hit on men emulating miniature icons.

In conclusion, observing the strangest anomalies in nature could seem appalling, undiscovered or simply a weird experience, but it’s a blissful feeling once you immerse yourself in understanding and embracing the unexpected beauty of nature.
