Oddly Shaped Rocks Found Around Us

Weird shaped rocks are rocks that have unusual shapes, often resembling animals or other objects. These rocks can be found in many places around the world, from deserts to beaches. They are formed through a variety of processes such as erosion, weathering, and tectonic forces. While some of these rocks may look like they were created by a sculptor, they actually form naturally over time.
