Sometimes Nature is Strange…

It’s still Halloween, so I think it’s time to show what I promised you from the beginning: that you would see some beautiful things and some not so pretty things in this blog. Remember?

I do not like them, but they are around where we live. They are horrific creatures, aesthetically disturbing and demonic looking.

Of course they have a legitimate reason for being in nature, but until just a little while back I was not very convinced of this fact until I studied seriously about it, since I see them frequently.

Truth is that we do not have any other appearance. We are what we are and appearances do not always tell the truth. Many should even be very grateful for the mirror, because it only reveals the outside.

They are horrible, but I assure you that are very useful and totally harmless. They are scattered around the world in 65 different types within the same species,  but only one species in America.

It’s the only American marsupial and does not like confrontation – just wants to be left alone. They are not at all aggressive, nor are they destructive, dispite having 50 teeth as adults.

ALL these teeth are there just for biting insects, snails, slugs and berries.

Now you will discover the mystery, when I say that they pretend to be dead to not be confronted. Have you guessed it yet…?

My dogs have caught some, which I felt compassion for, because they were babies and I’m mother.

There are my once-in-a-while nocturnal visitors.

Do you have the courage?

Being Halloween, I believe you can put up with seeing this:

I hope no one faints or has nightmares.

Remember that people judge more by appearance than by reality. Why did God make the opossums so ugly? I have no idea….

Can you stand a closer look? He is everything I described above, but with an appearance beyond horrible!

And most things are judged by their cover.

Have you ever thought about this…?

The stranger you behave the more ‘normal’ should look, and it seems that it works the other way around also.

For example, when I see a child with 3 or 4 fingers in her nose, I can analyze that there is nothing extraordinary with that creature.

Polished silver shines more than raw gold.
