Freaky Amimals

http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/weird/Freaks-of-Nature-52528842.html

The Hispaniolan solenodon, Aye-aye, and Shoebill freak me the fuck out.

I need to keep my hands away from the crevice behind my mouse and keyboard when I look at them. I feel like something will touch my hands.

That Yeti Crab is extra cool...

Axolotls FTW

omfg- SEA PIG

holy shit did you see the sea pig though?

EDIT: oh fuck you just posted that.

Lol, the sea pig and the yeti crab are awesome. I also quite like the sun bear, I'd love one as a friend.

The conjoined-twin soft shell turtle is awesome, especially due to it's nose(s). The Saiga is also cool (one of my favorite guns is named after it).

Man, the ones that freaked me out left me unsettled for a while...

SAIGA

The last pic makes me think Adjective.

one of the most fucked up things i've ever seen in my life

Blanket Octopus

  Quote

The male blanket octopus spends his existence drifting along waiting to meet with a female. If the male meets a female, he fills one of his tentacles with sperm and tears it from his body. He gives this sperm-filled tentacle to the female which she then uses to fertilize her eggs. Afterwards, the female leaves the male, who floats away and dies....the species has evolved an unusual defense mechanism: blanket octopuses are immune to the poisonous Portuguese man o' war, whose tentacles the male and immature females rip off and use for defensive purposes. Also, unlike many other octopuses, the blanket octopus does not use ink to intimidate potential predators, but instead unfurls a large net-like membrane which then spreads out and billows in the water like a cape. This greatly increases the octopus's apparent size, and is what gives the animal its name.

The Japanese Serow (I like to call it the wolf-goat)

Mary River Turtles

Beautiful.
