Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Baby koala wants to be let go, he's getting too old for this. But he doesn't want Mama koala to feel rejected. The father died last month and now her son is all she has left. So he lets his mother hug him, even though he is uncomfortable. She is putting too much pressure on him, both physically and mentally. He doesn't know if he wants to scream or cry, but he does neither. He stays silent, and lets his mother hug him. The resentment is building more and more every day. It's only a matter of time before he snaps.

Fun Fact time!

Koalas are known to eat Eucalyptus, however it is less well know how nutritious Eucalyptus is and the answer is very little. About 2kg of leaves will give the same nutritional value as a 8oz steak. To cope with the little value they get from eating, they do almost nothing but eat and sleep, sleeping most of the day. To add to this their brains have shrunk over time to use less energy.

Also, 50% of koalas have chlamydia!
I assume the other 50% are forever alone.

That's not a hug, Koalas just started getting cable so that's their version of the Vulcan death grip

Every time I see this image I can't stop imagining that the baby koala has died and the mom can't let go...

Fuck you imagination :(

I have hugged a koala for a photo at a nature park.

I can tell you their claws are as big, sharp and deadly as a hideous fiend from the pit.

This looks cute, guys, but what is actually happening here is that the bigger koala's 'grip reflex' has been triggered. So that they can stay secure in a tree during deep sleep, their hindbrain has an uninterruptible 'hug' response that exerts over 150 pounds of force. That younger koala is in the process of suffocating, and the older one is probably not even awake. She'll wake up with a lifeless corpse in her arms, if she doesn't fall out of the tree first because she was gripping the wrong thing. Nature can be harsh.

Koalas are mean. The larger one is likely juicing the smaller one against its will.
