Nature often has a bizarre sense of humor, doesn’t it? One minute you’re enjoying the serene beauty of the great outdoors, and the next, you might find yourself amidst a display of, let’s say, less-than-gracious botanical antics. It’s amazing how elements of the natural world can surprise us, even when we think we’ve seen it all! From broccoli throwing attitude like it’s auditioning for a role in a sitcom, to trees that simply don’t care about your signs, the Earth has a cheeky way of reminding us that while it can be breathtakingly beautiful, it’s also a little bit crude. Get ready to chuckle and maybe blush as we explore the “naughty” side of nature. Trust me, you won’t want to miss these illustrations that combine the wholesome with the risqué! So, are you ready to take a closer look at what the wild has in store? LEARN MORE
So, all of these pictures are both wholesome and crude, in that they’re full of fresh air, fiber, and vitamin D (if you know what I mean). Nature can be lovely, but it can also be rude as heck.
Sometimes, with a little rain and sunlight, all the cells in a plant can align to provide a wonderful display of middle fingers. Sometimes years of sediment can build up into a rock formation that looks exactly like genitalia. Keep reading to get up close and personal with nature’s naughty sense of humor.
Nobody likes eating their vegetables, but have you ever considered that maybe vegetables don’t like to be eaten?
This piece of broccoli is not very happy about being cooked up for dinner. Too bad, though. He’s going to get eaten anyway.

Well then, right back at you sky! I guess those fluffy white things above our heads got tired of the saying, “not a cloud in the sky.”

Cloud gives us rain and rain gives us trees and grass and all the rest of it. We really should appreciate clouds more.

These velvet worms found in Vietnam spit a glue-like substance onto their prey before injecting them with saliva and chowing down.

The more the prey tries to wriggle out of the glue, the more entangled they get. That’s not a very polite, velvet worm.

Animals are part of nature, which means that they don’t care about minding their manners. This dog likes to sit where he wants.

He doesn’t care if the cat is already sitting there. That is his spot, and he will sit in it no matter what.

Nature doesn’t care about man-made objects. They chew that stuff up and spit it out— or in the case of this tree, they envelop that stuff and refuse to release it.

Trees can’t read English, and they aren’t planning on learning how to any time soon. To be fair, we did intrude on their space first.

You know what they say, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. This tree is here to show us otherwise.

Flipping the bird with your hand is way less cool than a few hundred flipped birds in a bush.

Birds don’t care about your property. They’re going to poop where they want to poop.

If you don’t want your car to get pooped on, you should probably move it out from under that tree full of birds. They didn’t come to you; you brought your vehicle to their toilet.

This chimp named Tushi threw a stick at a drone that was filming her enclosure at a zoo in The Netherlands.

Researchers say that she definitely planned ahead. The drone had already done a few practice flybys. When it came back for real, Tushi was ready for it.

Talk about a rude awakening. This is not a good way to wake up. Did the tree branch have to crash into the kids’ room of all places?

I think it’s actually the builder who was rude in this situation. Why would anybody build a garage right behind a giant tree? That’s the tree’s personal space.

But if that tree could find it in his heart to move a little bit to the left, that would be much appreciated.

This tree is very, well, large. That branch poking out from the trunk looks like a big… nose. Yup, I’m sticking with nose.

We can’t help it if our minds are in the gutter, just like this tree can’t help flaunting what he’s got.

So, we sort of deserve this one. We haven’t been very nice to trees. We chop them down and burn them and use their flesh to make tables and chairs.

Is it any wonder that they don’t like us very much? Keep reading for a lady insect who can be a man eater— literally.

This is the car equivalent of getting a splinter under your nail. Nature and technology have always been at odds. This time, nature won.

The trees aren’t very happy about big vehicles spewing fumes into their fresh air. They better clean up their act if they don’t want the trees to strike again.

It looks like the trees have started trapping people inside their trunks now. That isn’t very nice of them. We’d like to live our lives out in the world instead of petrified within the confines of an oak tree.

Please be nicer to us, nature. Let us have our freedom.
