Now THAT’S Embarrassing

All of us have had embarrassing moments - those times when we want to hide away, never to be reminded again of our shameful deed. Maybe you were even so unlucky that someone caught a picture or video of your embarrassing act. But for nearly all of us, we can be pretty sure that our most embarrassing moment won’t be mineralized and preserved for all of geologic time, unlike some of the unfortunate animals above. Just be thankful that your lowest moments - that time you were eaten alive by a bigger fish, the time you got caught having sex with your gnat mate, the time you were seen performing unmentionable acts on another turtle, or the time you were a bird and you got eaten by a giant fish - won’t be unearthed by paleontologists and put on display for all of posterity.

You’re welcome.

    It’s strange to think that as they were doing these things, they were stopped mid-action.
