Capybara.

Roller Coasters.
Waterfalls, Titanic.
Angel Falls, the most towering and precipitous of all waterfalls.
K2.
Although the summit of Everest is at a higher altitude, K2 is a more difficult and dangerous climb, due in part to its more inclement weather.
K2 also became popularly known as the Savage Mountain after George Bell—a climber on the 1953 American expedition—told reporters, “It’s a savage mountain that tries to kill you.”
Wolves.
Tanuki! The Raccoon Dog.
A curious sort.
Trees, Enormous.
Many of these feature the Hyperion tree, discovered in 2006, which measures in at over 380 feet in height. The Lost Monarch is also well represented. The latter is unofficially the world’s largest Giant Redwood, at some 25.26 feet in diameter{!}, and 320 feet in height.
Update Feb 3, 2024: now included are a few shots of the “Big Kahuna“, whose diameter may exceed 27 feet.
Feral Boars.
A fierce sense of purpose seems to drive these notorious beasts, distinguishing them from, say, the feral cow.
Covers, Manhole.
The Komodo dragon.
The world’s largest living lizard. An apex predator, this fearsome individual can top 10 feet in length, and has been known to achieve upwards of 300 pounds in weight. If (when) he snaps at his prey, venomous anti-coagulants become part of the equation. These gigantic monitor lizards of Indonesia will indeed devour a humanoid biped every now and then, perhaps leaving unconsumed the odd camera of an unwary tourist.
