Here’s a Photo of a Giant Goldfish, You’re Welcome
Goldfish are known to be a house aquarium fish with their colorful scales and attractive appearance. Most people would think they have a short lifespan because they die so quickly in their homes, but that’s only because they require more maintenance than you think and water with precise pH levels.
If taken care of properly, these fish can grow to be as big as the one in the photo that they found in one of the Southern rivers of France, so don’t think of getting one as a pet animal for your child. In the wild, these fish can be very invasive and destroy a whole ecosystem.
When Aquaman Calls His Royal Subjects
Well, not really! But this photo is real, and it makes things creepier. The square waves happened off of the Island de Rhe, located in France. The phenomenon happening in the photo shown above is called a cross-sea; it's a state of ocean waves that are wind-generated and made of nonparallel wave systems.
The dangerous thing about a cross sea is that it has a large amount of directional spreading. It occurs when the waves from one weather system continue, even if there's a shift in the wind. Now, the waves created by the new wind are at an angle against the old, which makes it more treacherous.
This Is a Stained Glass Spider!
Well, it's real, and the scientific name for it is the Thwaitesia Argentiopunctata. It also has different names like the sequined spider, twin-peaked Thwaitesia, and the mirror spider. This arachnid can live on all the states of Australia. The species is known to have a body length of around 3 millimeters for males and 4 mm for females. Their abdomens are often most patterned attractively with colors red, yellow, cream, and green.
The Thwaitesia genus all feature reflective silvery patches on their abdomen. The scales look like they glued varying solid pieces of mirror on their backs. What's more amazing is that the spider has full control over how it will look, depending on how much they feel the need to protect themselves.
Oh no! It's Sheep Jam!
No one edited this photo; you can even ask the locals in New Zealand! Here's a phenomenon that happens all the time in this country. If you must know, sheep have this strong urge to follow others of their kind, so when one keeps walking for some grass eating, others will follow until it becomes a whole colony stepping whenever yummy grass will take them.
These creatures are known to have an excellent sense of smell because of existing scent glands on both their feet and eyes. They use these traits to mate and mark their territory. Another wonder of nature.
Adobe Photoshop Who?
Before the dawn of photoshops and other image editors, photographers had to do things manually. Lighting effects and shadows are made by blocking light sources or filtering them. There was no liquid, and the only way to crop a photo was to chop it with a blade literally.
So, this photo isn't necessarily impossible to make. With the right knowledge, resourcefulness, and talent, it's achievable. So, really, what it all boils down to is that Photoshop, being the breakthrough that it is, can work as a secondary tool when it comes to effects. This is great timing and great imagination put together.
