The Elephant Rock is volcanic basalt sea-cliff on the island of Heimaey in Southern Iceland that resembles a giant elephant or wooly mammoth dipping its trunk into the sea. This is found in Vestmannaeyjar Archipelago town residing nearly 4,500 residents in an area of 5.2 square miles. Despite of this small amount of population, it is still considered as one of the most populated island of the location.
If Global Warming Continues Humans Could Evolve To Look Like This...
As A Result Of Global Warming Scientists Believe That We Could Eventually Evolve Some Pretty Crazy Characteristics.

As a result of global warming scientists believe that we could eventually evolve some pretty crazy characteristics. Experts have been busy trying to predict what the human race will look like in the far and distant future. They’ve considered several scenarios; how we’d look if there were to be a new ice age, if global warming continues and if we started colonising other planets.

Dr Matthew Skinner, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Kent, worked in conjunction with an artist called Quentin Devine to help visualise what humans might look like in the future.
If global warming gets worse and land mass decreases Dr Skinner believes we could possibly develop webbed feet and translucent eye lids to help us see under water. They also think we could develop gills to breathe under water.

In the ice age scenario, Dr Skinner thinks that our skin would become incredibly pale due to a lack of vitamin D from less sunlight. We would be covered in hair and develop some serious muscles. Our noses and faces would become bigger as a response to the colder air and we’d become a lot stronger.
If science fiction does become a reality we might develop short legs as in low gravity they would become completely unnecessary.

Dr Skinner said:
‘No matter what future scenario we find ourselves in, be it a water world, ice age or indeed that colonising another planet, the human race will strive to avoid extinction – ultimately, it’s a fight for survival.’
At the moment humans are still getting bigger, but skinner suggests that trend will reverse due to a lack of predators. This phenomenon is called ‘island dwarfing’ and it occurs when mammals have no predators and limited resources.
Interesting stuff. Did you know astronomers think that Aliens might have built a mega structure that’s orbiting a nearby star?

#1 HERCULES THE LIGER
While the liger sounds like a made-up animal, it's a real thing. In fact, the largest living cat of any kind in the world is Hercules, an liger. He lives in South Carolina, stands 49 inches tall at the shoulder, measures 131 inches long, and weighs over 900 pounds!
Thumbelina, who weighs 4st 9lb, was born on a farm in St Louis, Missouri.Her owners breed miniature horses but Thumbelina is a further quirk of nature - a miniature of a miniature.She eats two cups of grain and a handful of hay each day.Radar, at 6ft 71/2in from hoof to shoulder, is from Mount Pleasant, Texas.At 2,400lb, he has a giant appetite to match, putting away 20 gallons of water a day and 18lb of grain.

#2 Meet Giant George, the New World’s Tallest Dog
The 4-year-old Great Dane measures 3 ft., 7 in. from paw to shoulder, weighs nearly 250 lbs., and beat the previous record holder Titan’s height by 0.75 inches. Giant George can sit up in a chair like a human, but for his flight from Tucson to Chicago to visit Oprah on her television show, producers bought him tickets for four seats in the plane’s middle section.

#4 Ulric: A 30-Pound Cat (UK)
Weighing in at a whopping 30 pounds, this fat cat was the heaviest finalist that the PDSA's fitness competition has ever had on their show.Despite his diet, Ulric hit 17 pounds by the time he was 15 months old. The problem is that Ulric loves to eat. If he isn't satisfied with his meal, he'll just amble over to his sister Ulla's bowl. So his owner, Jan Mitchell of Dorchester, UK, enrolled him in the pet fitness competition.Ulric the Norwegian Forest cat is twice as big as he should be.
#5 Goldie (Biggest Fish)
The title of largest pet goldfish goes to Goldie from Folkestone in Kent, England, who was 15 inches long, 5 inches wide, and weighed over 2 lbs in 2008.The fish was only an inch long when Goldie's owner bought it for 99 cents, and 15 years later it had ballooned into a record-breaking size, despite being kept in a small tank.However, Goldie isn't the only supersized goldfish. In July 2010, a goldfish measuring 16 inches and weighing 5 pounds was caught in Poole's Lake by Nick Richards, 16, from Camberley, England. But the world's longest goldfish is owned by Joris Gijsbers and measured 18.7 inches from snout to tail on March 24, 2003 in Hapert, The Netherlands.(Source 1 | Source 2 | Source

He added plywood for the seating, and extended it to all three walls...
#6 Bead Board
He then added bead board for the front of the bench..
This booth can now fit 12 people, and up to 15 if chairs are placed at the end of the table.Pillows and decorations were added...oh and the new table too! It looks amazing right?!

#3 Seat foam was cut to size to make the benches more comfortable.
#4 Waterproof outdoor fabric was used to cover the seats.The applied water resistant fabric to the benches, just in case the kids spilled their drinks.
#5 Stapling the fabric to the benches.
He then added bead board for the front of the bench..
#7 A hole for the AC vent.
#8 That's when the trim and paint was added.
Giving it a much more put together finish.
