Male Mandarin ducks are considered some of the most beautiful animals in the world, thanks to their head full of colorful feathers. Native to East Asia, where they are still found in abundance, there is also a significant population in Britain. This population was cultivated after domesticated Mandarins, imported from China in the 20th century, escaped and created a feral colony. But still, seeing a Mandarin duck in North America is a rare treat; and when it happens, it draws excited attention.

Perhaps the strangest ghost town on this list is Zzyzx in California, the creation of notorious grifter Curtis Howe Springer. Springer, who’d spent a good chunk of his life peddling “miracle cures,” founded a spa called Zzyzx around a natural hot spring in the Mojave Desert in the 1940s. But Zzyzx — so named so that it would be “the last word” in the English language — wasn’t a hot spring at all. It was a normal spring that Springer had fitted with heaters.

Carved between 1,000 and 2,000 years ago, these enormous engravings are located along the Orinoco River in Colombia and Venezuela. Thousands of years ago, it would have been a startling sight: miles and miles of sheer rock, rising up from the river, covered in carvings of animals like anacondas, rodents, and giant centipedes. As the centuries passed, however, the carvings were largely lost to time. Until now.
