There's no doubt that cities and people have changed the way animals interact with their environment. With a lot of cities urging people to stay inside, things are changing again. For some animals, the lack of people walking around is more reason than ever to start exploring. For other animals that depend on tourists to feed them, the lack of tourists has them looking elsewhere for food. Things can change fast, it's like some junk out of I Am Legend. Different people have dealt with various quarantines differently, like tweeting funny quarantine journal updates or getting revenge on toilet paper hoarding Karens.

Trees and plants have the incredible ability to keep trying even when the odds are stacked against them. It's really all they can do. Take these unstoppable plants who won't take no for an answer.

Just in case you missed it, Newfoundland was overrun by a snowstorm of epic proportions. Yes, we're talking 30 inches of snow on Friday, which was reported from St. John's International Airport. Residents have been left to quite literally dig themselves out from the storm. The Canadian Armed Forces even stepped up to help in the efforts to clear up all the snow, and help out residents in need. Outside of all that chaos, the storm definitely made for quite the array of hilarious and crazy images. Nature is a wild beast, man.

That lion was just trying to catch his Uber! Can't imagine what I would do if I was in their situation. You're just sitting there, foolishly chilling, assuming that lions can't open car doors. And then WHAM.

This idiot abroad ignored the warning signs about the ice floating away. He proceeds to get stuck on a piece of ice, float away, toss his sweatshirt into the ice cold water, and then make a terrible attempt at gracefully getting back to land. A solid fail all around.

This is beautiful. Can't say anything else in the world looks this effortlessly cool while dreaming.
There's a community on Reddit dedicated to the appreciation of stapling pieces of bread on trees. If this isn't peak internet, I don't know what is. Never know when you might be out exploring nature, when your appetite spikes, and you need a little bite of some bread. Off a tree.

Apparently the squid had been wounded after an encounter with a predator, and wasn't going to live long. James Taylor found it while paddling with friends in Melkbosstrand, near Cape Town.
