This gruesome 1889 biology book outlined the many ways animals will kill us
By Cyriaque Lamar
In J.W. Buel's 1889 book Sea and Land, the author laid out many delightfully quaint illustrations of the Earth's flora and fauna. Many of these pictures detailed the myriad hilarious ways the animal kingdom eats humans, with creatures like the Japanese spider crab receiving a homicidal bad rap. Here's a selection of doom and gloom. After all, you never know when you might torn asunder by the man-eating tree.
