Trees obscure lines of sight; darkness impedes vision; sounds in the darkness seem ominous. Especially in remote locations, the wilderness isolates us, cutting us off from civilization and the assistance that social institutions and government agencies could otherwise provide.

In movies that combine horror with wilderness environments, characters are likewise vulnerable and helpless....
One Hundred Years of Solitude tells the story of the rise and fall, birth and death of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendiá family. Inventive, amusing, magnetic, sad, and alive with unforgettable men and women—brimming with truth, compassion, and a lyrical magic that strikes the soul—this novel is a masterpiece in the art of fiction.

While it is no longer the case, New Zealand was once governed as a part of the territory of New South Wales (later a part of Australia). When Australia federated in 1901, New Zealand was offered a place as one of their states. New Zealand refused and is its own country with no ties (other than economic and commonwealth) to Australia. A kiwi is not a fruit – it is New Zealand’s native flightless bird (pictured above) and a slang term for a New Zealander....

As a sort of bitter joke, we can look to some of the other creatures on Earth and find that they have what we wish for. Some refer to these animals, perhaps mistakenly, as biologically immortal. But they can die. The difference is in how they arrive there—without ever growing old as we do. Rather, they keep their youthful vigor right up until some other means takes them. Here are 10 animals that do not die of old age or can halt the process....

We tend to think that you find elephants in Africa and Asia, koalas in Australia, and so on. Outside of zoos and private collections, any animals that are found outside of their place of origin tend to be pests and either annoying or kind of boring.
