Stunning Pictures Show A Lizard That Fell Asleep Inside A Rose

The beauty of nature is always simple, but it never stops to amaze us. Here is a Texan family that was lucky enough to see and capture a charming natural masterpiece: a tiny lizard that fell asleep inside a rose.

The lucky Texan family accidentally stumbled upon this miraculous sleeping baby lizard who looks like it’s from a Disney movie! The couple’s daughter brought her mother a rose. When the woman approached it to look closer, she discovered a small lizard comfortably sleeping inside the flower.

The photos, taken by Cmycherrytree, first won the hearts of imgur users and then spread all over the internet, making people squeal “Aww!” The woman herself is amazed at how rare shots like this are, saying that as long as she lives, she will probably never see this again.

Marília was more than happy to share the spotlight.

"It was a very pleasant surprise for me, because I love animals," she told The Dodo. "I liked it very much."

That night, Marília and Matheus decided to make the dog their pet.

"We're all very happy," Marília added.

Sharalee Armitage Howard posted this picture of the library being built in December on Facebook. This pic has since gotten thousands of likes, comments, and shares to date.

Rare White Giraffe Is Grazing in The African Bush

Omo the white giraffe has been spotted roaming around Tarangire National Park, in Tanzania, along with the rest of her herd - who don't seem to be bothered about her unusual colouring.

Ecologist Dr Derek Lee, founder and scientist at the Wild Nature Institute, caught the pale giraffe on camera.

Derek, 45, said: 'Omo is leucistic, meaning many of the skin cells are incapable of making a pigment but some are, so she is pale - but not pure white with red or blue eyes as a true albino would be. 'It is a genetic condition.

'Omo is the only pale giraffe we are currently aware of, but we have also observed leucistic waterbuck, cape buffalo and ostrich in Tarangire'.

'We and our partners are working on giraffe conservation and anti-poaching to help give Omo and her relatives a better chance of survival.

'We hope that she lives a long life and that some day she has calves of her own.'
