Aokigahara is a place at the foot of Mt. Fuji which is beautiful yet dense and is a place where a lot of people commit suicide. Hundreds of bodies have been found here and as an effort to stop people from committing suicides, there are sign posts that tell people to reconsider suicide. As Mt. Fuji is sacred, some probably feel blessed to be able to die here.

The nature of the place is very foreboding and you will hear nothing but the forest when you move in just a few kilometers from the border. It is believed that the unsettled souls come to this place to scream their frustrations into the winds. The foresters have a job of looking for bodies in this forest and they come across them often, either hanging from trees or eaten away by predators.

This 10ft long white Bengal tiger named Odin is living at the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Zoo in Vallejo, near San Francisco. Odin is obsessed with eating underwater. Maybe the pool marinates the meat or something, or maybe he’s just a show off. The last time I tried eating underwater I inhaled so much chlorine from the pool the doctors thought I was some kind of mythical aqua man who stored water in his lungs instead of air. Long story short I survived and learnt that trying to eat tomato soup underwater was a bad idea. It took a full week to get the pool clean again. Any who, look at those massive paws, such awesome creatures. High five’s buddy!

These amazing embryonic animal photographs of dolphins, sharks, dogs and elephants are from a new National Geographic Documentary called “Extraordinary Animals in the Womb”. The show’s producer, Peter Chinn, used a combination of three-dimensional ultrasound scans, computer graphics and tiny cameras to capture the process from conception to birth. They are the most detailed embryonic animal pictures ever seen!
