Posted this on FB but here it goes here: Scientists discover new species of 'blind snake' in Brazilian river that looks remarkably like a piece of the human...

the Bear SG

Stalk-Eyed Fly

those are not the antennae, those are the eyes at the end of the stalks...

the males of the species compare how wide their eyes are in bouts of superiority instead of fighting

Tiger Fish

ferocious fish in the Congo River... look at the bloody teeth!!

Used to be very common in the old days. Some times thousands or hundreds for a few days. Quite spectacular once I saw them by the thousands in on Mandarin Hotel night light back in the 70s.

Narwhals are whales. They were once hunted so that the tusks could be sold as unicorn horns.

the Bear SG

here's another..

Basking Shark

huge huge gaping mouth... the thing grows up to over 12m long and weighs in at around 8 tonnes.. harmless plankton feeder... thank goodness for that!!

the Bear SG

Hand Fish

cute little fella "walks" around at the sea bed with its extended fins

tat's huge!!! o.O

erm... so must put it on lash when walking it daily?

av98m SG

too bad there are no giant chinchillas

the Bear SG

now.. another weird creature...

Okapi

looking like an unholy union of a zebra, a horse and a giraffe, this is an actual animal and not some kind of cross-bred animal..

related to the giraffe, it shares that long rubbery tongue which it uses to grasp leaves which it eats and also to clean its muzzle, ears and its face

How about these cute garden eels? Here's a close up!

this type of garden eel i kept before in my coral tank

pretty cute little stuff

s0nic SG

Kuali Baba SG

Some species of Pacu have teeth that resemble human incisors, and some local aquarium hobbyists own them. Say cheese!

Chew Bakar SG

Interesting.

the Bear SG

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!

MyPictureBook SG

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.
