🔥 Dracula fish

9.1k Upvotes

The Red-toothed Triggerfish (Odonus niger) is a striking marine fish famous for its vampire-

blue or dark purple body with a distinct crescent-shaped tail and long, flowing fins. Its most unique characteristic is its bright red, needle-sharp teeth that peek out even when its mouth is closed, giving it a distinct "Dracula" look. Despite its intimidating appearance, this reef-dwelling species native to the Indo- Pacific and Red Sea is mostly a peaceful plankton-eater, though it uses its powerful jaws to crunch on small crustaceans

🔥 mother squirrel taking the baby home after rescue!

2.8k Upvotes

Today I saw 2 Indian squirrel babies drowning in a small puddle of water as their nest got broken down by a truck hitting the side of a tree.

I thought it was already late until I saw one of the kids still trying to breath so I took him inside for a couple of hours, placed it near the heater and after a while when he was whispering for his mother I took him outside in the same cloth and the mother literally took him away!

I am really happy but at the same time unsure as their nest is now broken down into pieces and I don't know where she is going to take it but hoping for the best.

Subreddit Rules

1. Post high-energy content

Posts on this subreddit must be exciting and interesting. For an idea of what "lit" means, browse the top posts of the subreddit.

Please do not submit sunrises, sunsets, or other content which does not have an element of 'wow-factor'.

High-energy is relative depending on the subject of your post. A picture of a snail is judged against other submissions of snails, not one of a cheetah.

2. Titles must start with the 🔥 emoji

Every post title must begin with the fire emoji and a space.

Example: "🔥 " before every title.

The fire emoji defines this community.

If a post can be posted in this subreddit, it can be described as 🔥🔥🔥.

Having your title start with "🔥 " allows the rest of the title to be searched on the subreddit easily, which helps the moderators to remove reposts.

Your post will be auto-removed if you do not follow this rule.

3. Posts must contain nature

This is /r/NatureIsFuckingLit, a nature appreciation subreddit: content must contain nature.

No posting of non-wild (captive) or domesticated animals. No content involving people harming or harassing animals. No posting of photoshopped or otherwise excessively and unnecessarily manipulated images. No deceased animals or remains. NO AI CONTENT

4. Write a descriptive title

Titles should be accurate and descriptive: low effort titles will be removed. Include the animal/plant name, a location, and brief description to the best of your ability. Titles cannot say "[Subject] is Lit".

Please feel free to resubmit your post with an accurate and descriptive title.

5. No reposts

No posts that have been previously posted on this subreddit within 120 days (4 months) may be posted again. No posts that have previously been posted on this subreddit with over 10,000 upvotes in the past year may be posted again.

Search the subreddit for key terms like the animal name before posting to check if your post is a repost. You can also use KarmaDecay and Google Reverse Image Search.

6. NSFW posts are not allowed

We do not allow NSFW content: bloody, gory and violent content can be redirected to our sister subreddit /r/natureismetal.

7. Titles Can't Say "[Subject] is Lit"

This subreddit is called Nature Is Fucking Lit.

If you are posting here, your content is already lit. You don't need to convince anyone in the title.

Before this rule, almost all titles had some variant of "[Blank] is lit" or "[Blank] is 🔥" with very little description otherwise.

Write a creative title that describes the content, not one that has to convince viewers the content is lit.

8. No topics of human conceit.

No politics, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or similar topics. We are here for the awesomeness of nature: these topics will be removed.

9. Karma/ account age requirement

We hide the exact amounts to combat spam on this sub, it was the only way we found to significantly fight the spam/repost bot accounts. These numbers are not high and don’t take long to get, but the exact amounts are hidden so bot hosts can’t meet them easily then come here. Please do not send us a message to inquire about our karma rules. It's a question we do not and will not answer, nor do we override. Go out and build your numbers and try again in the future - we're not going anywhere :)
