Nature Or Supernatural: The Moving Rocks
It all happened at the Dead Valley in California. We almost didn't see anything else in the area but a few rocks which is out of place.
The mystery part is that the rocks in this area can move by itself, leaving a long winding trail behind as if they are alive.
If nobody lives there, even if there are, who would do such a thing as to move the rocks around leaving a suspicious trail?
Some said it's due to the abrupt temperature change at night where the land frost over. In the morning when temperature rises, the land expands thus pushing the rocks a little.
Over the years of frequent expansions and contractions, the rocks were pushed around far enough to leave a long winding trail as if some supernatural forces had done so. Especially at a place called the Dead Valley.

Multy Legged Duck And Duckling: Is This A Sign
It is, again, reported duckling born with extra limbs. This time, it is in China. If you recalled, there was one very famous, 4 legged duck named Stumpy (picture below) in Hampshire. Similar cases, but worlds apart. These mutated ducks are from farms, has anyone ever curious why mutation happens there? Could it be anything to do with the feed? Or is it just evolution?

The monster web was found in the North Texas Park. It was white at first but not long after, millions of mosquitoes caught in those web that turn the web brown. The massive mosquito trap has attracted visitors to the park while others kept away from it.Some entomologists believe that it was the work of the social cobweb spiders but others think it was unusual. Professor John Jackman Of Texas A&M University said that he cannot be certain until samples were sent to them.
Park rangers expect the web to last till fall as the spider will start dying off.

These flying fish are unique because of the diverse colouration on their "wings" which resemble the butterfly. Their gliding ability is thought to be adopted to escape large predators such as tuna and swordfish.
They gain valocity at about 37 miles or 60 km per hour, once break through surface, they begins to taxi by rapidly flapping its tail which is still under surface.
