Weird Creatures

Rissask · 05-13-2005

Since I was so very unoriginal in my other thread,

here is one I hope is new to all.

(if it isn't original fireman, I don't wanna hear it.

)

Post a pic and the bio of the weirdest looking creature you have ever seen or heard about.

I think (besides the platypus of course) this is the strangest looking thing I have ever seen.

The Leafy 'Seadragon', pic is from this site.

http://www.austmus.gov.au/fishes/fishfacts/spectype.htm

Found only around Australia's Great Barrier Reef, relative to the seahorse. Has ruffles all over its body to mimic the type of plants (kelp) it lives amongst. Soooo strange looking!

Sorry, Riss.... but you knew somebody just HAD to to this!!!

Good thread.... I'll see if I can come up with something else more along the lines of your intended thoughts.

I would send a pic, but the creature I see at my bath mirror some mornings is elusive and scary at the same time so I don't have a chance (nor want to) to take a pic of IT.

We have some of those at the Dallas World Aquarium. They look just like floating plants. They really are cool.

That's where I've seen them. I knew I'd seen them somewhere. We were there last summer for Father's Day. They ARE cool.

I found 4 of these little creatures in Akumal Bay. Thought "what a strange looking fish" then it dawned on me they were squid. CALAMARI!!!!

They are weird and had blue eyes.

Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! How gross..... keep em coming!!

BTW, noticed this on the same site as Rissask's dragony thing...if it wasn't from such a well respected source I'd say it was a hoax!!

A Fathead (genus Psychrolutes) trawled during the NORFANZ expedition at a depth between 1013 m and 1340 m, on the Norfolk Ridge, north-west of New Zealand, June 2003 (AMS I.42771-001). Photo: K. Parkinson © Australian Museum. The scientists and crew on board the RV Tangaroa affectionately called this fish "Mr Blobby". Note the parasitic copepod on Mr Blobby's mouth.

The Jackalope has always been one of my favourites, but they're not particularly unusual or rare. As a matter of fact, I don't imagine it would occor to Rissask to mention them, since they probably raise them on her spread. Pretty common in her part of the world.
