Weird Animals
inspired by Zephyr66s "Wombat" thread...
post pictures of animals that you think are weird... i got the Platypus, http://library.thinkquest.org/11922/...ypus_thumb.jpg a egg-laying mammal with a broad flat tail, webbed feet, a ducks bill and poison spur on the heel of the male... i also think the Echidna is a weird animal, http://www.calm.wa.gov.au/plants_ani...dd_echidna.jpg another egg-laying mammal with sharp quills all over its body, it can roll up into a ball for defence but i wouldn't recommend using it for soccer training... http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/~phwl/mt/...al/echidna.jpg what you got for me??? |
Always thought the seahorse was rather odd. It always amazes me that they've survived as a species. They're not all that mobile and seem to swim rather awkwardly. And they're very fragile.

Sea horse? That's nothing weird compared to the sea dragon...
http://www.eveandersson.com/photos/u...gon-medium.jpg I saw one for the first time about two years ago, at the Boston Aquarium. I would have sworn it was fake if I hadn't seen it myself. |
Hey, that's in my Bio textbook!! I just read about it this morning!!!

The elusive Paddyjoe is found roaming the southern shores of Lake Ontario. Known for its keen eye and ability to party it often crosses paths with its nemesis... the flyman |
BWAHAHAHAHAHA @ Charlatan!!!!!
i was so NOT expecting that! (You'd think i'd remember what forum this is by now... haha!) i totally & honestly let out a really loud chuckle!!! Fly's gonna love this shit. ------------ OK. The rules of this thread don't state that the weird animals must be exotic, so i am going to submit the lowly common <b>Opossum</b> to this parade of weird animals. (Still laughing at Char's entry btw). A few night s ago, this fella was on the utility wires that run across our backyard. He looked like a large cat sized ugly rat. And weirder yet, he just sat there! motionless for at least hour, maybe longer... i went to bed. He was gone by morning. <img src="http://static.flickr.com/28/38388421_10f2a450d5.jpg"> i guess i can be glad though it wasn't Charlatan's weird animal on the wires in my backyard, cuz i probably would've soil my pajama pants! :lol: |

The guinea pig is a weaird ass creature. You don't really realize it when you see them in the store, but once you realize that somewhere in south america there a herds of cat size furry rodents running around squeeking up a storm it starts to sink in. |
On the otter hand....

Don't forget the BBQ Hornet

edit-this is according to a book I have on guinea pigs, it seems several sources on the internet disagree about the origin of the guinea pig, but I have more trust in a book than the internet. |

Ishmal, I'm not sure which part of that animal is the most disturbing. The nose? The glasses? The plaid... or the candy cane (!!)? That's the most interesting umm... donkey, I've ever seen.
