ALIEN!!!!!!!!

Holy cow. How did this... alien get here? Well, maybe it isn't one! This animal is called the Giant Coconut Crab. Though it isn't an alien, it does have some odd behaviors... (hmm... is it an alien in disguise?). This crab has been reported to steal shiny things, like watches and other objects. Another thing they do is snip off a coconut from the tree, peel the coconut, then drop it repeatedly from the tree until it cracks. Pretty smart crab!

GHOST... FISH????!!!!!

No this is not a hoax (or a ghost)!!! This is the incredibly ugly fish known as the Barreleye. Obviously, I do not know much about this fish (and I doubt you know much about it either), but I will post as much as I know about it! This fish has one particularly weird thing about it (besides the fact that it's see-through), and it is it's eyes. It gets it's name from it's eyes, which are in the shape of barrels, and it always looks upwards, for some reason, though it can look forwards. This fish also lives deep down in the ocean. That's all I know, unfortunately, but I may do another post as soon as I find out more!

Bowfin, A TRUE Survivor

                 
I'M BAAACK! Sorry it took so long to start the site again. I just had
problems with forgotten passwords and usernames, and one INCREDIBLY
slow computer. Now I have started adding posts EVERY Saturday, and
I took away the 'Weirdest animal countdown'. So, enough about the site.
Lets take a look at the fish I have been OBSESSED about catching. It is
called the Bowfin (A.K.A. The Lawyerfish, Lawyer, Mudfish, and
German Bass). This fish will give you the fight of your life when
it gets on your line. This fish has been around 250 million years. He saw
T-Rex die! Many say this fish is a 'Junk Fish' due to the fact that it is
only good to eat when fresh. If you want to learn more, go to

3. King of weird fish.

O.K. this fish, Golomyanka, has no scales, stays in only one lake and stays in the deepest part of the lake, so what else is weird? It dissolves almost instantly on contact with sunlight. What causes this? A special oil that they need to have to survive. Also this lake, Lake Baikal, has Golamyanka's main predator, also native to to this lake, the Nerpa Seal.

2. YETI ON THE BEACH!

It makes sense why this Yeti Crab got it's name! When I said ''YETI ON THE BEACH!'' it REALLY went against it's natural habitat. It was found 1,500km south of easter island at 2,200m deep in the ocean. It isn't exactly a crab, but a species of squat lobster. These animals are also color blind and able to use it's ''hair'' to purify the poison from hydrothermal vents using Filamentous Bacteria (I wish I could do that!).

1. A real Dumbo.

I am making a count-down to the top ten weirdest animals ever. Number 1 is Dumbo Octopus.

They are extremely rare, found at only the deepest depths of the ocean. In fact, it goes deeper then any octopus known to man.It's real name is Grimpoteuthis, and it's nick-name came from the movie Dumbo.

A CYCLOPS shark?!

Yes! This shark is a unlucky musky shark with it's regular musky shark siblings in this picture.
Not only is it a cyclops, but it is also albino. It was not even born yet, it was still inside it's mother when it was found. The fishing company that found it had another weird discovery, a two headed
shark was also found by them. Scientists found out both of these sharks are the real deal!
it was found.

" firefly of the sea"

The name says it all! This luminescent creature's real name is "Ostracod" but most people call it the firefly of the sea ( I would prefer it if you call it by it's nickname becuase there are 65,000 species of ostracod ). This certain species lives in the sea of japan ( yum! japanese seafood tonight!).

Hidden in the deep.

The channel catfish is the official fish of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Tennesse. If you run out of bait do not worry, this fish also eats garlic, dog food, cheese, bubble gum and even Kool-Aid powder! So do not worry, weird bait is here! ( The reason I added this animal to the website is becuase I have some of these animals in the pond in my backyard!)

Seafood fit for a giant.

When I say giant I MEAN giant! This huge clam lives by the island of Borneo. This colossal clam lays 500 million eggs at a time! Imagine if WE could do that! The way it eats is more interesting than most about the clam. In the day time it opens it's mouth and lets the algea in it reproduce for the clam to eat.

A pygmy what?

A pygmy hippo thats what! This little animal's skin loses a lot of water so it spends most of it's life in the water (no wonder hippopotamus stands for river horse in greek). Most of these creatures are on the brink of extinction and we only know of about 21 of these animals in the world.

my favorite homo-sapien!

my favorite homo-sapien is my grandpa. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA BOS!

Need a tissue, monkey?

I know you think the proboscis monkey's nose looks weird, and I can't explain why it is so LARGE!
Actually no one knows why it is so bizarre. Some say it is used as a snorkel, others say it regulates body temperature, but it is most likely to lure females (Another non-attractive way to find a mate!).

Truth or false?

This is a onza you see in this picture. Do you notice something strange about it? What about it's tail and ears? That's right! It seems like half-dog, half-cat. Many people say it is fake. In 1938 and 1986 people find carcasses of the legendary Onza. My mom might have seen one, you know! Last year while my family was looking for property to buy, Mom said she saw dog like cat!

2011 surprise animal is ... marsh rabbit!

2011 is here! In chinese zodiac, 2011 would be the year of the rabbit. So I chose to do the marsh rabbit as the animal to be the last animal this year. They live in dense marshes and move at night. It's hunted for sport. It's main food is switched cane. And it's color is a darkish brown.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

elephant and otter... shrew?

These rare shrews come from...AFRICA! The names of the shrews are Golden-rumped elephant-shrew (top) and Nimba otter-shrew (bottom).Elephant shrew pairs never part until death.And Otter-shrews always swim in water.

How many birds?

What do these birds have in common? They are all birds of paradise! There are three dozen species of these birds.You see the 1st bird above? It is performing a mating dance, showing of its power and skill (is THAT supposed to be attractive?!).That is all I know about it.

super cute!

The animal kid is back with the volcano rabbit! It is small (not surprising since it is the smallest rabbit in the world) but intresting! The young may eat solid food in three weeks. It also has no tail (weird!) . It lives in south america.

no parrot no peace

Well this bird is called the Eco parrot. This "eco friendly" parrot has unfortunatly decreased by 90% on the only known island where they live but luckily all the rest of these creatures have been captured and bred and there population is still rising today.
