 Creating | Strange animal pics 
I thought it might be fun to do thread on one of my favorite things, wierd and rare animals of the world. Here is a couple to kick things off. Chinese Giant Salamander They are the largest living amphibians known today growing around three feet long. They hunt mainly at night, and as they have poor eyesight, use sensory nodes on their head and body to detect minute changes in water pressure, allowing them to detect their prey. In United States, Hellbender Salamanders grow around two feet long.  frilled shark The Awashima Marine Park in Shizuoka, south of Tokyo, was alerted by a fisherman at a nearby port on Sunday that he had spotted an odd-looking eel-like creature with a mouthful of needle-sharp teeth. Marine park staff caught the 1.6 metre (5 ft) long creature, which they identified as a female frilled shark, sometimes referred to as a "living fossil" because it is a primitive species that has changed little since prehistoric times.  ---------------- I do not know what I seem to the world, but to myself I appear to have been like a boy playing upon the seashore and diverting myself by now and then finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay before me all undiscovered. - Sir Isaac Newton Last edited by Thunderbird; 07-10-2008 at 08:56 AM. | |

Nevermind, the Rhino Crab takes the cake.  ---------------- Hypography Science Forums Moderator --- "There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth. We are all crew." - Marshall McLuhan "We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it." - Marie Curie | |
