16+ Amazing Things That Can Happen When You Leave Stuff Alone

Look closely enough and you can probably make out an impressive silver dragon. For extra cool points, that last inlet on the right makes it look like it's roaring.

When the uploader declined its snacks while they were in China, this robot protected a crying face onto the little screen at the top.

Naturally, this is purely a coincidence, but it's hard to remember ever seeing a cloud that so perfectly resembled a helicopter.

If you've ever worried that the effect of seeing one is lost on those floating in space, worry no more because they're just as incredible when you can somehow see them from above.

It turns out, however, that the answer in this case would be zero seconds. That's because this isn't a monkey at all, but rather a tree root that happened to sprout out of the ground in an unusual shape.

While it's true that there are people around in this shot, those bugs would probably do this whether they were there or not.

And based on the size of this swarm, the folks below probably feel pretty lucky.

Way in the background, there's a large tree that looks a lot like a chicken.

Unless someone had the resources to turn this neighborhood into the world's most ambitious botanical gardens, that probably wasn't on purpose.

That's right, the flood waters somehow managed to avoid getting into the pool, which left its own waters oddly crystal clear against this murky, brown backdrop.

Seeing a rainbow surrounded by lightning is already a pretty incredible sight, but how often do we see that lighting going sideways?

It seems crowded enough in the womb when a person has triplets, so I doubt most people would even want to imagine giving birth in the double digits like this.

According to Atlas Obscura, this is a Jaboticaba tree from Brazil and all of its flowers and fruits grow directly from its trunk.

The fruits have tough skin, so the favorite way to eat them is to poke a hole through and suck in the innards.

According to Tropical Fish Magazine, it can be hard to tell green tiger lotuses from red ones, because both are known to change the colors of the top part of their leaves to the opposite.

They're also known for their purple undersides, although those can sometimes change as well.

However, it only looks like this after it's been left to dry, whereupon it apparently gets the consistency of chalk.

Rosie the great white shark, for instance, languished in Autralia's abandoned Wildlife Wonderland Park at the mercy of vandals for about seven years before she was finally moved to another park.

As The Daily Mail [reported](Wildlife Wonderland Park), however, she didn't feel lonely as she was already dead by the time Wildlife Wonderland Park closed down. She died when she was caught in tuna nets back in 1998.

Unlike in many other countries, bodies don't lie in burial plots forever, but rather a period that Spiegel reported lasts about 15 to 25 years.

At that point, the body has already decayed as much as it's going to and the grave is then recycled.

Indeed, the scene captured here is actually pretty ordinary. The uploader's friend just took a picture of the view from their apartment during a rainstorm.

This is what happens when a watermelon is underwatered in the growing process.

This surprised face marked in this tree bark is the product of Mother Nature herself. She is her own tree-marking hooligan.

It's somehow managing to get the right refraction of light that it's reflecting the image of the very forest it's in back to us.

Maybe this is how snakes get to have some fun outside of their enclosure.

Here's a great example of nature adding some life to an abandoned building.

I knew sunflowers grew tall, but I didn't realize they could grow this tall!

It's like having a Christmas tree, but a summer version.

But this is a frost pattern fit for a designer runway. The design is beautiful!

These gorillas don't want to miss out on all the Instagram selfie fun. They stopped for a photo op with the anti-poachers who raised them.

This snow pattern on top of a mountain looks like the Geico gecko. I'm sure this was accidental marketing on its part, but we can't confirm.

After a lightning bolt was attracted by this flag, it apparently left its mark on the green. It's hard to tell whether any of its "contributions" would actually affect your game, though.

Namely, by laying eggs in it so this person was treated to their drink being invaded by a bunch of tiny spiders when they came back.

I doubt they were too eager to drink it after this.

This buck decided to chill out for a bit next to a school window and didn't even budge when this person sat down next to him.

This is actually what paint looks like before it's all mixed together to create your dream color.

I can't tell if I'm grossed out or intrigued by all the patterns and textures.
