WTF, Nature? is a blog about natural oddities. Kinda like Cute Overload, but with a different adjective.

Wow, I never realized that earwigs had wings, and beautiful ones at that.
Cool link.

Wow.

We are not really quite as cool as we think we are.

Just be careful. Nature can have a 'not safe for work' sense of humor.

That's a very cool group. Thanks for the link. I'm also enjoying the pile-on on the lone creationist there.

next time you're being eaten by a shark, be sure to check inside its nostrils for interesting leech species

Linked from the site:

". . . a young, adult male Antarctic fur seal, in good condition, attempting to copulate with an adult king penguin of unknown sex.
. . .
The penguin flapped its flippers and attempted to stand and escape - but to no avail.
. . .
The penguin did not appear to have been injured by the seal, the scientists report."

Just deeply, deeply humiliated.
