Nature's Weirdest Creatures
-
Some species of Pacu have teeth that resemble human incisors, and some local aquarium hobbyists own them. Say cheese!
-
Interesting.
-
here's one.. which doesn't look very weird...
Pistol Shrimp
see the weird left claw?
that's it's pistol... literally..
it causes cavitation which means an implosion of a bubble creating a focussed shockwave which it shoots at its prey killing it..
it's on record as the loudest animal on the planet!
-
clone more of them!
-
The Narwhals actually surfaced recently, some research team caught on video, a group of em traversing towards their nesting grounds or something.
-
Actually a few of my pets look weird. LOL
Anyway they are cute and adorable to me

this creature is from Indonesia...
Babirusa
or Pig-deer from indonesia, those tusks are its elongated canines..
the top two grow through its upper jaw.. and if it lives long enough, they may actually impale its own skull into its brain, killing it..

The babirusa is deer-pig of the pig family Suidae.
The pig-deer is of the deer family Cervidae.
The Bawean pig-deer (Axis kuhlii).

Honeypot Ants
these ants gorge themselves and their abdomens become swollen with nourishment.. which during hard times the colony will depend on to extract food and liquids from.. swelling to sometimes the size of grapes, they're also much sought after by the aboriginals..
