Fly Geyser - Nevada
One of America's most spectacular landmarks, Fly Geyser was made completely by accident. In 1964, a geothermal power company drilled a test well in Fly Ranch, Nevada, but apparently failed to properly seal off the hole. Boiling water soon burst from the well, starting the formation of calcium carbonate deposits — which built up over time, turning into the three massive, cone-shaped mounds that now form what's known as Fly Geyser. By the time the public became able to visit this surreal landmark in 2018, the formation had grown to be about 30 feet tall, with each of its kaleidoscopic cones reaching about six feet high.

Zoe, the rare zebra
This was Zoe. She was a zebra, but born with a rare pigment disorder that masked the true colors of her markings. This rare beauty isn’t the result of albinism, but of a genetic condition called leucism, which causes a partial loss of pigmentation. Unlike albino animals, leucistic creatures like Zoe still retain some color — in her case, the stunning golden patterns that set her apart. She lived on the island of Hawaii in a specially-protected area for animals with rare conditions.
