Our world is filled with wonders we cannot fully comprehend – things we would never think exist, places we never have heard of but are actually on the map, creatures we have never known that are actually living with us.
It only shows that we can never completely understand everything that’s on our planet and that even we spend our whole life exploring these undiscovered things, we really just can’t.
