Incredibly beautiful!!!
While these may look like regular moss-covered rocks to you, they’re not - they’re actually a species of flowering plant called Azorella yareta, also known as Yareta. In order to survive the cold, windy, high-altitude conditions of the Andes, they live in tightly-packed colonies so dense that they are capable of supporting the weight of an adult human. They can also live to be thousands of years old - in fact, one of the oldest known plants on Earth is a 3,000-year-old Yareta plant.
Because it is so dry and dense, it was traditionally used as a source of kindling, similar to peat moss. As a result of this, and the fact that it grows so slowly, Yareta is now a protected species in order to prevent its extinction in South America.

Incredible!
A family taking a trip around Australia were treated to more than they bargained for when crocodilian crowd favourite ‘Brutus’ took on a bull shark in the muddy mangroves. The result? Dinner for Brutus, curtains for the shark.

Feliz, de riso fácil e escandaloso e, ao mesmo tempo, chorona... Fiel aos amigos e aos princípios, cheia de fé e otimismo, amiga, sincera, organizada, correta - às vezes até demais... -, falante, exigente, crítica... Enfim, bastante imperfeita.
