We don’t really think about other species that inhabit our planet when we’re going about our daily lives. Moreover, we even think our world is small and we are the kings of it due to our achievements and improvements. However, there are many creatures in this world that can make you feel tiny and insignificant when we compare ourselves to them. In this list, we are going to 40+ examples of such creatures to expand your horizons.

We know that the winter can be very harsh in the northern parts of the world, but nothing compares to Canadian winter.

Okunoshima is a tiny island that can be found in the Inland Sea of Japan between Hiroshima and Shikoku. In the World War II era, this island used to be a very confidential military site producing poison gas for chemical warfare. Nowadays, you can find adorable fluffy bunnies all over the island and they're the main inhabitants of this island. Between the years 1929 and 1945, Okunoshima Island was used to produce and provide poison gas for the Imperial Japanese Army, and it's believed that more than six kilotons of mustard gas were manufactured. The island was suitable for this job mainly because of its isolated location, so it was a secure place, and also it was far enough from Tokyo and other areas in case of disaster. The program was conducted in secret and when it had been active for 16 years, Okunoshima was even erased from maps. The people who were living on the island and potential workers weren't told what the plant was producing and everything was very confidential.

This extremely dangerous, natural booby trap can be found between Barden Tower and Bolton Abbey in Yorkshire, England. It's a tiny, harmless-looking mountain stream, approximately six feet across, named Bolton Strid, or simply the Strid. However, under the water's surface, there is a deep gorge with strong undercurrents that pulls whoever falls into it to certain death. According to the rumors, not even a single person that has fallen into the Strid has managed to come out of it alive. Even their bodies haven't been found. If you have doubts about how a small mountain brook can be so deadly, you need to walk upstream. In less than 100 yards, this "harmless" stream will turn into a river 30 feet across. This river is called River Wharfe which runs through Yorkshire, but when it comes to the area of Bolton Abbey the river has to go through a small gap which causes the water to gain enormous speed and depth. The small gap on the Strid is merely an illusion as both banks are significantly undercut. Underneath is a network of hidden caverns and tunnels with the rest of the water of the river inside them. Nobody has an idea about how deep the Strid actually is.

This weird -ooking landscape that is filled with craters just like the surface of the moon in the middle of Thetford Forest in Norfolk, England looks highly similar to mortar craters in Normandy and Somme from the First World War. However these craters in Norfolk have a different background story, and even though their name suggests otherwise, they're not actually graves. In reality, Grime's Graves is a huge flint mining complex from the Neolithic age that's more than 4,500 years old. In the New Stone Age, flint- a solid, mineralized version of quartz- was a precious natural resource and extremely prized due to its tendency to break into small flakes with a razor-sharp edge that was very convenient to make tools and weapons. So, flint kept on being used for many centuries even after men started to make tools out of metals.

Nullarbor Plain is an extensive, featureless place that can be found on the Great Australian Bight in Southern Australia. 

There are sunken lanes you can come across all across the European countryside that are called holloways, and they seem like trenches dredged through the earth or tunnels cleared through the forest. In the past, they began at the ground level, however over time, under the tread of a million feet and chariots carrying people and things, the floor of these roads have worn away, and eroded down to the bedrock, creating trenches that lay beneath the level of the surrounding landscape. Many of these ancient passages have high banks on both sides and they used to be used as temporary waterways during rains, which deepened and widened the paths, even more, making them permanent features of the landscape. A number of these paths are twenty to thirty feet deep and it can be said that they are more like ravines than roads.
