I’ve recently stumbled across this unbelievable observation of a “zombie hamster” in Austria
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/99365537
and was wondering if there’s a project gathering the unsettling pictures found on the plattform

The cursed nature project is a good one.

That hamster would definitely be a cool one to add.

A reliably unnerving class of observations is of “them” preying on “us”: invertebrate predation on vertebrates. A mantis munching a bumblebee hummingbird; a crab catching a baby turtle; a dragonfly nymph finishing off a fish. I always thought it would make a nice Halloween lecture for a biology class, but I’ve never done the work of assembling a slide show.

I was just about to suggest the Cannibalism in Nature project to, but I realized that the hamster observation has already been added to that one.

517 pages?? That’s more than 50,000 favorites and, to my way of thinking, sort of devalues the whole concept .

There’s the Skulls and Bones project but, its exactly as creepy as your zombie hamster
