Snakes and spiders and sharks, oh my! These are just a few of the most dangerous animals in North Carolina to avoid.

From Maine coons to Siberian tigers, these are the big boys and girls of the animal kingdom put into perspective.

Mother Nature out here just taking our breath away like it ain't no thang. It's crazy to think how absolutely, jaw-droppingly gorgeous and breathtaking our planet really is. Seeing pictures like these really throws that into perspective and makes me realize we need to all do our part in keeping that beauty alive for future generations to appreciate as well.
