Divers near Blaigowrie Pier, Port Phillip Bay, Australia, came across this bizarre scene of over 1,000 spider crabs crawling on top of one another to create some sort of creepy pyramid.

Why are the turtles crying

to feed the butterflies

Also, It is not because they are sad or being harassed. They actually have a gland that empties into their eyes that helps them get rid of too much salt that they collect living in the salty water. You can only see their tears when they are out of the water on land, and the tears also help keep sand out of the turtle’s eyes. The tears of the tortoises are an essential contribution of salt and minerals for the butterflies survival and the turtles work with them like a friendship & open their eyes for them to drink without hesitation.

This may be one of the most adorable animal facts I’ve ever heard.

What the fuck. Wouldn’t it be cool to die like this

A brinicle, also commonly known as an “ice stalactite” forms under the sea ice when a flow of extremely cold saline water is introduced to ocean water. It is known as an ice stalactite because it is the undersea equivalent of a hollow stalactite. It freezes everything it touches, including sea creatures.
