You Won't Believe These Astounding Nature Photos Are Real

Surprise Guest

Who invited this guy for dinner, and why didn't anyone tell him to use the front door? This still is actually from a 1981 film called Roar. At least 70 cast and crew members were injured by predatory animals during production, which lasted a whopping 11 years. Unfortunately, the movie bombed in theaters. Tippy Hedren later claimed that over 100 people were hurt: "If we wanna make a movie with lions, people are gonna get bitten," she said. "We just hope that nobody dies and we'll do everything we can to makes sure that doesn't happen."

Similar phenomenons can occur with other bodies of water, such as the Cape of Africa where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Indian Ocean.
