Blumhouse Tries a New Scare Tactic With Netflix Series ‘Nightmares of Nature’

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-09 23:02:34

Nature shows tend to have horror baked in. Sure, we watch them to be educated, but also for the alarmingly gasp-inducing, uncomfortably emotional moments: killer whales gobbling adorable baby seals, furious lions battling each other for supremacy, uncomfortably large spiders just being themselves… you know how it goes. Horror studio Blumhouse is leaning hard into that idea with Nightmares of Nature, a new documentary series coming to Netflix. A joint production of Blumhouse Television and Plims

If you’ve been following Gizmodo’s astrophysics coverage, you’ve probably noticed a pattern: Scientists study a cosmic phenomenon and start to get a handle on it—then something shows up that completely upends their understanding.

This Bizarre Fish Has 8 Rows of Forehead Teeth It Uses During Sex

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-10 11:55:29

Spotted ratfish are scaleless, rabbit-faced deep-sea fish, about two feet (61 centimeters) long, and native to the northeastern Pacific Ocean. As if that wasn’t a strange enough description, these distant shark cousins also feature teeth on their foreheads. While a number of marine animals, such as sharks, rays, and whale sharks, have external tooth-like structures called denticles, it turns out the spotted ratfish’s toothy features are straight-up true teeth, as true as the ones in your mouth.

Some Heart Attacks Might Be Triggered by Germs

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-10-12 03:30:27

Germs might be even worse for us than we thought. New research suggests that certain infections could be a contributing factor to heart attacks. Scientists in Finland and the UK conducted the study, which examined arterial plaques taken from people who died from heart disease and others. They found these plaques often contained a dormant layer of bacterial biofilm; they also found evidence that bacteria released from this biofilm can then trigger heart attacks.
