Angel Falls, the most towering and precipitous of all waterfalls.
Waterfalls, Titanic.

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.”
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.
The Tardigrade!
The Tardigrade, maestro of the microscopic. There is little they cannot withstand….extremes in heat, pressure, even radiation, the likes of which would initiate funeral preparations for practically any other life form, seem not to faze them.
Black Mamba!!
An extraordinarily toxic serpent, the Black Mamba also lays claim to being the 2nd largest venomous snake in the world, with specimens of over 14 feet in length having been reported. Jeez.
Owls!! Part II.
The Burrowing owl, and other assorted owl types, including the cryptic Bay owl.
Serpents, Huge.
The Anaconda, and the Reticulated python, the largest {by weight} and longest snakes on the planet.
Marabou Stork!!
This massive, vaguely sinister bird oft seems to be pondering disastrous scenarios for those located anywhere nearby. According to Wikipedia, “It is sometimes called the “undertaker bird” due to its shape from behind: cloak-like wings and back, skinny white legs, and sometimes a large white mass of “hair”.”
Postscript: We are proposing the inclusion here of the closely related Greater Adjutant stork.
