15+ Pictures That Made Us Say ‘Wow That Doesn’t Happen Every Day’

By Kirsty 1 year ago

1. This Eclipse That Looks Like A Cat's Head

Image Source: Bright SideSunsets comes in many miraculous shades and forms, and they're always a wonder to behold, but what happens when a solar eclipse gives you something a little bit different? This shot was caught of an eclipse looking like the head and pointy ears of a four-legged friend!

2. A Rather Odd-Shaped Strawberry

Bright Side
Strawberries usually come big and small, but they don't usually come... er... like this. This takes 'oddly-shaped' to whole new wild proportions, and I wouldn't even know where to start correctly cutting that thing. Might be best just to chuck it in a blender for a smoothie.

3. When One Big Toe Isn't Enough!

Bright Side
We all know your big toe is there to keep you balanced, so this person must have exceptional form because two big toes have to be useful, right? Though with this one you have a sort of extra-large one big toe with two nails seeing as they're bonded at the hip, so to speak.

4. This Bird Can Disguise Itself As Moss

Bright Side
A lot of animals are amazing at being able to camouflage themselves for survival based on their surroundings, but have you ever seen anything like this before? Not only the colour of moss, but the texture, too! It makes you want to be extra careful when walking through mossy grass, though, doesn't it?

5. A Limo Made Of... Grass?

Postize
Limos provide a lot of options if you wanted to rent one - a bright pink one, a smaller version, a taller version... one covered in glitter, certainly there's an option for everyone. Have you ever seen one covered entirely in grass, though? No, it doesn't make sense to me either, and I can't even say it looks particularly good - but maybe it's promoting a gardening company?

6. When Your Bird Feeder Attracts A Different Kind Of Animal

Image Source:
Postize
All right, so you might expect maybe a pesky rodent or the neighbor's cat to come a-stealin' on your bird feed table, but you'd certainly never expect this when looking out of your window. Not just one bear (which would be scary enough) but a pile of them. Leave some for the birds, guys...

7. Born With Six Toes

Image Source:
Bright Side
The proof is in the X-ray! This person was not only born with six toes on one foot, but actually on both feet! They were born with twelve toes, which I would imagine makes finding the perfect pair of shoes extremely difficult! Might get the upper hand (or foot) playing soccer, though.

8. This X-Ray Of A Pregnant Pup!

Image Source:
Bright Side
We've all seen and felt the joy of a pup giving birth to a litter of adorable puppies, but did you ever stop and think what they might all look like inside the belly? That many pups has to get quite crowded, and this X-ray proves it. Look at all their tiny heads!

9. Have You Ever Seen A Bubblegum Pink Lake Before?

Image Source:
Bright Side
The natural wonders of the world never cease to amaze, and nature comes in all shapes and sizes - not to mention all colours. But when it comes to lakes, you'd be forgiven for thinking of only the blue or green variety - and definitely not bubblegum pink! This is Lake Hillier in Australia.

10. A Baby Born With A Full Head Of Hair

Image Source:
Bright Side
Move over adorable bald babies, because this baby is rocking a new hairstyle! It's kinda cute that you already know the hair colour of your baby as soon as it arrives and can start early on with ideas how to style it. It makes the baby pictures all the more interesting, anyway!

11. Two Apples For The Price Of One!

Image Source:
Bright Side
You usually get the odd one of the bunch that doesn't look like the rest when it comes to fruit and vegetables, but I don't think I've ever seen an apple growing another apple out of it before. Move over 'wonky peppers' and let's start celebrating 'apples growing apples'.

12. An Extra-Large Thumb

Image Source:
Bright Side
We've had a doubled-up big toe and a thumb growing another thumb - now we have extra-large thumb, due to a condition called localized gigantism where a certain area of the body grows abnormally large. It'd sure make opening up cans of soda a lot easier though!

13. Two Moose Share A Kiss

Image Source:
Bright Side
It's always adorable when you see animals in their natural habitat interacting with each other, but have you ever seen two cute moose sharing a kiss? This pair was captured in Alaska during a camping trip - talk about PDA... They obviously have no qualms about showing their affection.

14. The Pattern On This Caterpillar Looks Like Penguins

Image Source:
Bright Side
Caterpillars are really beautiful when you look at all the colours and patterns, but this has got to be the best one. This caterpillar genuinely looks like it has a row of penguins dancing on its back - and not even smudgy, badly drawn penguins at that - they all look perfect!

15. Born With Only Three Fingers On Each Hand

Image Source:
Bright Side
For other people on this list growing extra thumbs and toes, this person got the opposite when they were born with only three fingers - not only on one hand, but on both! They actually underwent a procedure to get an extra finger on each hand, making four - so still short of a full hand on each!

16. This Butterfly Has Wings Like Glass

Image Source:
Bright Side
Butterflies are beautiful, and their wings come in a variety of shapes, swirls and colours. But have you ever seen one that looks as though its wings are made of glass? The glass wings are not only stunning to look at, but they have a practical purpose, too: to help the butterfly camouflage into its surroundings.

17. The Abnormal Growth Of This Pineapple Is Nightmare Fuel

Image Source:
Bright Side
There's nothing worrying about a wonky fruit or two, but this pineapple looks like something straight out of the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Not only is it sprouting extra parts all over the place, it has some very tentacle-looking legs. Would you eat it? No, me neither.

18. An Extra Thumb Growth

Image Source:
Bright Side
These extra thumbs, fingers and toes just keep getting better. Apparently it isn't just a pineapple sprouting something new and absurd, as this person has a whole extra thumb. This is actually due to a condition called Polydactyly, whereby an extra finger or extra toe is present from birth.

19. Can You Spot Where This Lizard Is Growing An Extra Foot?

Image Source:
Bright Side
And apparently it's not just humans growing extra parts, either. Did you spot it yet? This lizard is growing a whole extra foot, and not even on its arm or legs - it's growing it at the end of its tail! It might make balancing a whole lot easier, come to think of it.

20. This Kitty Was Born With Two Sets Of Ears

Image Source:
Bored Panda
This kitty called Midas, who is otherwise in perfect health, was born with an extra set of ears! Looks almost like a creature from a fantasy tale, doesn't it? This Russian Blue's extra pair of ears was actually due to a genetic mutation. Can you believe that the extra ears actually function normally, too?

21. What Would You Do If You Saw Bigfoot Riding Public Transport?

Image Source:
Postize
Hey, Bigfoot has to get around somehow, you know! Despite those big feet, it's not easy having to walk everywhere, but even so - the last place you'd expect to find the fabled creature would be riding the subway - and so calmly at that. Can't say those people next to him look too happy about it, though.

22. Would You Ever Expect A Big Bird Cameo At Your Wedding?

Image Source:
Postize
If you have a wedding ceremony, or even just wedding pictures, outside then you have to expect that there might be something in the background that's going to need to be photoshopped out. Maybe someone photobombing or something that just doesn't fit the aesthetic. You'd never think that it would be Big Bird from the Muppets sat on a bench though.

23. Two Thumbs-Up

Image Source:
Bright Side
We've had extra big toes, but how about an extra thumb? Not so easily covered by a sock (though of course you could try) here's someone with not only an extra thumb but one that appears to be growing out of the side. This would either be a help or a hindrance... what do you think?

24. The 'Cool S' Doodle Appears In The Sky

Image Source:
Postize
Admit it: you plastered this thing over every school textbook you owned (and maybe some you didn't) because it was just too satisfying. The last thing you'd expect is to see a perfect replica in the clouds, though! This is just too perfect. Makes me get the itch again to draw it on everything within sight...

25. This Person Takes 'Gym Gear' To A Whole New Level

Image Source:
Postize
When you think about gym culture, there'll certainly be a lot of crazy outfits (or maybe even lack of) out there. You should definitely choose something you're comfortable in when it comes to working out at the gym - and what this person is comfortable in is apparently a head to toe cosplay of a Power Ranger.

26. A Turtle Catches A Ride On The Back Of An Eel

Image Source:
Postize
I don't know what's more surprising about this photo - the fact that a turtle would actually decide to do this, or the fact that the huge eel is actually letting it. Whatever the story behind it, this looks like an adorable friendship - and the turtle obviously had to get somewhere, pronto.

27. Proof That Catnip Definitely Works

Image Source:
Postize
Plant some catnip, they said. It'd be fun, they said. If you had any doubts that catnip is effective, you won't after to seeing this. These people innocently planted catnip after hearing that it prevents mosquitoes - but while it prevents one, it tempts the other, as you now have prime kitty-meet-up place.

28. Have You Ever Seen A Baby Goat Taken To The Store? Spoiler Alert: It's Adorable

Image Source:
Postize
I mean, kids are allowed after all, right? I don't know what's more adorable - the fact the baby goat was taken in the first place, or the fact it's wearing a pair of dungarees. There's nothing wrong with taking your pet goats to see the sights, though, right? Even if that sight is the inside of a store.

29. Have You Seen Anyone With Heterochromia Before?

Image Source:
Bright Side
This condition is nothing new, but have you actually ever encountered someone in person with it? The most famous person with this condition is probably David Bowie, but it can be jarring to see it on everyday people - though stunning to look at all the same!

30. A Castle Made Of Hay

Image Source:
Postize
Every person no matter their age wants to built their own castle fort at any given opportunity, which makes this castle made entirely out of hay bales even better! Kids and adults alike would have fun defending these walls, of that there is no doubt...

31. This Plane Reflected In Raindrops

Image Source / Bored Panda
This would be a pretty awesome picture anyway if it was just the plane through a rainy window, but it's amazing to see the plane reflected in all the different sized raindrops - you can even spot it in the tiny ones at the top!

32. This Satisfyingly-Symmetrical Shot

Image Source / Bored Panda
The longer you stare at it, the less it starts to look like one picture and not four separate squares photoshopped together - but surprisingly it is the same photo! The corner of the building's roof makes it all look like separate shots from different worlds.

33. This Lavender Field Beside A Wheat Field

Image Source /
This amazing shot shows the moment two worlds collide - but respect each other enough to stay on their side of the field. You have to hand it to the farmers here making such an amazingly perfect line right down the middle without any wheat or lavender crossing over.

34. The Way This Lava Set To Look Like Doomed Souls Being Dragged To Hell

Image Source / Bored Panda
This one's very eerie indeed, but oddly fascinating. The way the lava has set to replicate not just one body but a pile of bodies that look like they're falling - or being dragged - into that fiery volcano pit below! The woman doesn't look too phased that she's just discovered the entrance to Hell, though!

35. Is That A Pirate Ship In The Sky?

Image Source / Bored Panda
It seems that Captain Jack Sparrow has sailed a little bit off course, if this photo from Sam Francisco is anything to go by. The shot is actually of the Sutro Tower, but the way the fog is placed makes it look like a pirate's ship in the clouds!

36. A World Of Black And White

Image Source / Bored Panda
This stunning image sees a man dressed in black on a snow bank feeding the white swans on the black water infront of him! That straight line in the middle is satisfying as heck - who knew snow could fall so straight like that. No matter how straight it is, it doesn't look like the swans want to leave the water.

37. A Road That Stopped The Fire From Spreading

Image Source / Bored Panda
Forest fires can be devastating, but sometimes nature works with you rather than against you - and in this case, this well-placed road was in the perfect position to naturally stop the unfortunate fire from spreading to the green trees on the other side.

38. This Rebellious Sunflower

Image Source / Bored Panda
There's always one, isn't there? Sunflowers, when growing, are supposed to face east to meet the sun when it rises, and then turn to follow it west before it sets. That way, they can make the most out of the day's light source. This one, however, is having none of it.

39. This Albino Peacock Looks Like The Soul Leaving The Body

Image Source / Bored Panda
Here you can see a regular peacock either being playfully jumped on, attacked, or maybe even attempted-to-be-mated-with by an albino peacock, but the amazing jump from the white one makes it looks like the soul of the regular peacock leaving its body!

40. This Tree's Golden Roots

Image Source / Bored Panda
It almost looks like a painting, doesn't it? The way the yellow and orange leaves have fallen around the roots of this tree make it look like something unreal, glowing around the roots. They don't even really look like real leaves, do they?

41. The Crack In This Windscreen Looks Like A Bird In Flight

Image Source / Bored Panda
Unfortunately for this driver, a rock hit their windscreen and made a pretty generous crack. But it turns out that the crack amazingly looks like a bird in flight, down to the last feather wing detail and even the shape of its head and beak!

42. This Ray Of Sunshine At Yosemite That Looks Like Lava

Image Source / Bored Panda
There are many beautiful things to see at Yosemite National Park, but did you ever think to see a lavafall? This ray of sunlight breaking through the cracks makes it look like fire, and it actually happens for a few weeks at the end of February if the conditions are right, lasting up to 10 minutes.

43. This Cloud Formation In Australia

Image Source / Bored Panda
This rare cloud formation captured in Victoria, Australia, isn't just fascinating for the cloud itself, but it's also captured a rainbow inside it! The cloud makes it look like a hole in the sky with the heavens peaking through - and funnily enough, right over that house!

44. The Boat That Looks Like It's Floating

Image Source / Bored Panda
The well-placed shadow on this picture actually makes it look like the boat is floating in the air - but those on board don't look too phased by it, especially the person sat at the front. And are we not going to talk about how clear that water is?

45. Have You Ever Been Inside A Wave?

Image Source / Bored Panda
This stunning shot captures the moment a wave breaks over while the sand beneath is still dry - and this person (hopefully) has their swimming costume on and a waterproof camera! It almost looks like a glass tunnel you can walk through, doesn't it?

46. This Tree Drops Its Golden Leaves

Image Source / Bored Panda
This beautiful shot reveals a 1,400 year-old tree in China shedding its golden leaves for a glowing carpet on the ground. The tree is located in the grounds of the Gu Guanyin Buddhist Temple in the Zhongnan Mountains, and it almost looks out of place against the brown and green surrounding it.

47. This Rainbow Chili

Image Source / Bored Panda
Ever needed more of a visual guide to what the hottest chili might be? Well this one takes care of it for you with a full-colour guide from mild green to very hot red! You wouldn't even want to cook this one, would you? Maybe frame it and preserve it forever as quirky kitchen art!

48. The Crack In The Ice Like A Whole Different World

Image Source / Bored Panda
This beautiful picture of the aurora borealis - or the Northern Lights - is stunning enough of its own, but then you see the crack in the ice which not only looks perfectly symmetrical, but also reflects the trees and stunning green light above, like the gateway to a whole new world.

49. These Adorable Pups Who Blend Right In

Image Source / Bored Panda
One would be amazing enough, but two? The grey dog for the gravelly concrete and the sandy-colored dog for the pebbles on the left. It doesn't even look like the dogs want to associate with each other, does it? Maybe they struggle to get along being from different walks of life (and paths).

50. These Waves That Look Like Teeth

Image Source / Bored Panda
The ocean can be scary enough for a lot of people, and especially when sharks come into play, but how about a tide that comes in looking like it's about ready to bite you? These amazing waves look like a set of jagged teeth on the sand.
