A massive flood which the likes of haven't been seen in over 100 years swept a herd of cows to a crocodile infested beach while scorching temperatures melted the roads and prompted 3,000 large bats to drop dead in a wave of 'Armageddon style' weather.

Prehistoric Burials Ancient Tombs Found in Egypt's Nile Delta
During excavation work carried out by an Egyptian mission in Kom El-Khelgan area in the Nile

Strange Creature Surprises Tourists Sailing in Belize
Tourists were amazed to see this strange animal, which was swimming in the middle of the Hondo
river in Belize, on the border of Mexico while on vacation.
The people were on a small yacht on the river that borders Mexico, when they noticed that a strange animal was swimming in front of them.
For a moment they thought it was a shark.
In this area there is a diverse number of animals, from manatees and dolphins to crocodiles, among others.
You can imagine how the tourists are sailing when they were surprised to see this strange animal appeared swimming. They came at full speed to see what it was: a jaguar was kicking its legs in the water to get to the other shore.
Onlookers were very surprised to see a Jaguar just casually swimming across this giant river.
The tourists posted their video to Facebook.

Volcano Scientists Closely Monitoring Mount St. Helens Rising Magma Levels
Volcano scientists from the USGS are closely tracking Mount St. Helens' volcanic activity as magma flows are increasing at 5 meters a day.
Earlier this week, it was revealed lava domes were rising at five meters a day. These are formed by viscous magma being pushed to the surface below and piling up. Like lava flows, they typically do not have enough gas or pressure to erupt explosively but they are sometimes followed by explosive activity.

Weird Winter Weather: Sea Smoke, Snow Waves, Ice Devils
Much of North America is in the grip of mid-winter cold, the weather is starting to get weird. Certain weather phenomena only emerge in these prolonged periods of deep cold, and thanks to the blast of Arctic air sweeping most of Canada and much of the United States at the moment, we're starting to see some of those occur.
Strange Sea Creature Found in Thailand
A strange sea creature was found off the coast of Koh Yao Noi in Thailand by local fisherman leaving many crab fishermen baffled at their finding.
This particular marine animal is actually camouflaging with its background and has some stick like structure to it. Its body structure matches to a crab with a shell-like covering and claws.The animal seems to have stuck from dry seaweed to it unless it is its natural covering.
While it looks very similar to some type of weird crab, it has striking characteristics that make you wonder if it really is a crab.
Not much is known about this creature yet. But this finding once again shows how the marine life is still more vast than we know.
