Excellent !! We don't have a surprising animals, or surprising nature, wild animals or amazing animals post. They are mostly dogs, cats, horses, farm animals, pet memes, etc. I'll go ahead and create one...maybe people will use it.

This is an article on bats living in a library that eat the bugs that attack old books. I did pop in a photo but it didn't take.

Thanks for starting this topic. I for sure would post here whenever I come across surprising and funny nature stuff.

I just looked for this one and found it again online, it's from last autumn when we had a bomb cyclone here and this was on the news then. An underwater camera set up in the ocean near the shoreline captured a Pacific Giant octopus battling to brace himself and hang on for dear life to the rocks near his cave entrance when the increased underwater currents were whipping everything around. Poor fellow, I felt so sorry for him, he looked so fragile.

Here is one from 9 months ago, happened in Denver, Colorado. A couple of boys and an elk calf playing with a soccer ball while the elk's parents watched. I thought this was hilarious.

Wow. More reasons why coral is so important. What else are they supposed to hold onto? Cool.
