Weird animals

[Kryton]

Archaeidae, also known as the Pelican spider - 40 million years old fossils were discovered encased in amber (and were not known to currently exist until discovered alive in Europe and Madagascar in the 1840's) . A spider known for preying on other spiders by following silk strands and waiting to ambush (sometimes) bigger, nastier spiders. This type of spider doesn't spin its own webs, instead preferring to hunt and ambush, sometimes by tricking other spiders by tapping the silk and thus mimicking trapped prey..

Great creature but why does the camera man keep tapping it? Bastard.

Crabs. An animal which has evolved to exclusively live in human pubes. Not other parts of the human body, not non-human pubes.

Big fan of the maned wolf:



Have also seen one of these fluorescent lads knocking around on the beach near me - a 'sea mouse':



Also, whatever the fuck this is:

Buettikofer's Epauletted Fruit Bat has a face like a dog.

Looks a bit bovine, too.  Clearly this bat is actually Goofy's final form.

Aphrodita

The name of the genus is taken from Aphrodite, the Ancient Greek goddess of love. This is because, when viewed ventrally, the animal resembles a human female's genitalia[citation needed].

I love dogs and I love bats, yet for some reason I just want to punch this prick's face off. Turns out you can have too much of a good thing.

Isn't that what Nagsworth found in that flat?

I've fed one of those apples. its face brushed my arm as it chowed down on the apple pieces in my hand and it was both ecstatic and terrifying. Like the warm, nourishing kiss of a demon.

Hubba hubba!

I came here to post the maned wolf, but I see that is already done, so I raise you, the okapi:

Platypi. Fuck you, I'm a egg-laying mammal. Did I mention that I spend tons of time underwater? Yeah that's right, I find my food through electric disturbances in my bill. You know, like a duck, but a mammal. Except of course I'm most like an echidna. Except for the beaver tail of course.

Did I mention I'm venomous too?

I never believed in a god, until I ate a platypus in a wholegrain pitta bread, and it dawned on me that no such thing as this could exist without a divine being having made it.

Amazing. How big are they (bats not demons)?

The surinam toad gives births through holes in its back

Anyone who has a fear of spongey holes or has any common sense whatsoever look away now

Gerenuk (antelope from E Africa).

[Absorb the anus burn]

The piano playing Gerenuk?

[Poobum]

Naked mole rat. Lives underground in colonies. Colonies have a eusocial structure with a single fertile queen that is bigger than other rats. When queen dies, a dormant female will be activated, becoming fertile and growing in size. Most will live their lives as infertile female worker drones, digging burrows. Live 25 years, are immune to cancer, and as you can see, incredibly sexy, like a toothy penis!

[Pseudopath]

Hubba hubba!

You've reminded me of another CaB favourite. Woof!

[flotemysost]

Golden mole, no eyes. (How do they look? Terrib ahhh quite cute actually.)

Gerenuk (antelope from E Africa).

I remember seeing these cited in some stupid Mandela Effect YouTube video about 'fake animals', admittedly they're a bit odd looking but anyone with a childhood spent watching Natural World could tell you the video was bollocks.


Absolutely FUCK the Surinam toad, not even gonna quote that GIF, hope when the planet burns they all die first.

[bgmnts]

Suriname toads are FUCKING ace.

Siamang gibbon is weird as fuck as well with its frog chin.

Plus it has a natural centre parting.
