The weirdest creatures ever thread (Split 1)

The "Vampire Moth" of Southeast Asia is a blood feeder. It can insert its tongue through human skin, and may sip on our blood for up to 60 minutes.

Eww! Glad I didn't know about him when I was in Thailand last summer!

My cousin has a fear of butterflies/moths... (we once blindfolded her and took her into the butterfly house at the Calgary zoo... security came when the screams started. It was great.) And... theres vampire butterflies in spain... and she refuses to go to Spain because of this.
I guess Thailand is out as well. *Grins*

Back to scaring people!

And eel...


I wanted to post this next one as a pic, but... too big. VERY SCARY.

Scary! EEP.

Now this one? These prehistoric babies ATE sharks... and sharks were bigger then, too! No wonder I used to be afraid of them at the museum O.O


Okay, everybeast! You'll NEVER go deep-sea diving again after this picture:
(Not that it's humanly possible TO dive that deep... that I know of O.O)

And another deep-sea fishy! (I like this one, actually... kinda cute.)


Can't really find much else right now e.e

*doesn't feel scarred*

I only get scared by Goths nowadays (No offense)

[CrewWolf]

*sigh* What happened to the Ligers and Zeedonks? *hides in closet*

[Kitten Medli]

I want a Zeedonk.

I thought you want a llama.

Both.

Hey...While looking at prehistoric animals, I found this weird game where you're an evolving monkey trying to get your species to survive and adapt:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/beasts/evolution/e ... game.shtml

So far, I suck at it. My monkey always dies of starvation. I think the trick is to get your monkey to specialize in eating a particular thing (plants, insects, meat, etc.). I'm gonna try "monster-killer-death-monkey" and see how that works out.

[Full Metal Alchemist]

My monkey is pretty good right now, eats about everything.

Good find Chrome!

Hey this monkey game is fun. I've never heard of a game where the goal is to evolve. Well, Pokemon is the exception.

That eel reminds me of little mermaid. Floatsam and Jetsam!

[ChromeFox]

Yeah, this game is tough. One of my monkeys got to the Miocene, but I went through the canopy too much, and ended up falling from a tree and dying (arrrgh!)

I figured out that the way you kill those big ferocious beasts is you form a huge group and go at em RPG-style. The tough part is keeping your group together (occasionally they leave) and recruiting new monkeys. I'm going to try and pull together a group of four or five and tackle a crocodile. Wish me luck, lol.

Update: IT PWNED ME.

This game is crazy hard. The problem with that is that it is impossible to feed all the monkeys

[ChromeFox]

The trick is to get your monkeys accustomed to one particular thing and eat nothing else. Leaves suck for nutrition in the beginning, but there's gonna be a LOT of them during the Miocene, so you wanna eat as many as you can from the beginning so they'll give you like 15 nutrition points a pop. I find having vegetarian monkeys a lot easier than meat- and insect-eating ones.

*takes a deep breath and goodles this 'harlequin fetus' thing*

I...am...disturbed...for...life.

Yeah I can't feed all my monkeys either. I was doing real good too for a while and poof, I starved to death. Silly monkeys. Those termite hills do nothing either, but it was all I could find.


Blargh, the pillbug. I'm not a creepy crawly fan myself. And you couldn't pay me enough to hold that thing in my hand for longer than a second.

HOLEH SHEET! That's the biggest Roly-Poly I have EVER seen... *runs*
