Juan Cabana strikes again!

I must be losing a step. I had to find this floating around on Betty Bones' blog through my sister, DeMonica. I've posted finds about this guy, Juan Cabana before. Early on I didn't realize he's an artist, but now I really admire what he does. He's moved on from hoaxes, and is creating taxidermy creatures that never existed… at least as far as YOU know.

Here's his art at the original site that featured the hoax art.

This is one of Ira / Miguel's works of art: A mummified demon bat.

Jewish spider

Spider makes a perfect Star of David web.

What's the big deal. Never heard of a Jewish spider?

Cat Girl

Some girl from China is turning into a cat. Gray, not black, so I guess her luck is not all that bad ;)

Clicky.

Meat eating vegetation

Okay, so, we've got meat-eating people, plant-eating people (vegetarians, vegans, etc.), plant-eating animals (herbivores) meat-eating animals (carnivores), buffet-eating people (omnivores) people-eating monsters, a few plant-eating monsters, insect-eating plants (Venus flytrap), insect-eating people (Renfield) and now the amoeba shape is complete:

Meat-eating plants!

Hooray for evolution!

Rats! It's what's for dinner ;)

Snake with a foot

A cute little snake with a foot. Is it a left or right?

A foot snake. Is that anything like an inch worm? Nah.

This li'l guy or gal has to be a sign of the apocalypse. Or maybe just some wacky genetic throwback.
Come one, come all! Meet the snake with a foot, and read all the gory details right here at this link.

/it's really not gory.

slither, thump… slither, thump… slither, thump, etc.

Humans are murderers

A tear, a very rare tear escaped my eye when I saw this story. This poor little "monster" or "alien" was just an unknown creature to some boys in Panama. The teenagers decided it was a strange enough creature to them that they should stone it to death.
That's right, kids; when you see something, and you don't know what it is - it is imperative that you stone it to death. Unknown creatures are ALWAYS dangerous.
As it turns out the creature is very likely a deformed, hairless sloth.

The picture shown is a happy sloth. I couldn't bring myself to post the dead body of a poor murdered creature. You'll find it in the article.

Worm of death

The Mongolian Death Worm

The Mongolian Death Worm doth exist. This I know to be true. The mystery of this cryptoid be thine only for your lack of belief. From whence it came be the only necessary mystery. Knoweth this, oh surface dweller: The Mongolian Death Worm means to spit acid in those eyes of thine.

Enjoy. Clickula.

Was the Sarlacc of the Great Pit of Carkoon in the Dune Sea of Tattooine inspired by this creature? Only George Lucas knows for sure. Was Jabba the Hutt from Mongolia?

Bobbie Blob is working out

Bobbie Blob has been captured (partially)!

A good friend of mine, Bobbie Blob has been training of the Alaskan coast. She's trying to get used to cold weather so that next time she eats all the popcorn in the movie theater, the locals can't freeze her. I'm sure it had something to do with all the collateral victims. There were people in that theater.

Anywho. They found her...

Long Island paper picks up the monster

Long Island’s Newsday is finally getting in on the Montauk Monster action. This time, at least, there’s some more info than just an image, and random speculation.

See the Newsday article.

Go directly to montaukmonster.com

And, finally: Newsday’s interesting piece, 4o Creatures that may or may not Exist.

Montauk monster is back… again

I swore I wouldn’t mention the poor Montauk Monster again, but this is a new creature, actually. I can’t remember what ever came of that. Was it a hoax? Was it a viral ad campaign for some movie? Were all the rumors just speculation?
I don’t have the answers, but I’m intrigued enough to follow what The Ampersand has to say.
I’m inclined to believe it’s not a sea monster at all, but some wacky experimental animal from Plum Island.

Zombie spiders

Do you need any more proof that spiders may be the most fantastic creatures ever? Now, scientist have found these spiders that “resurrect” after “drowning.”

Hooray for the undead spiders!

Ronnie & Donnie, conjoined twins

The Sun is there. We’ve all heard of them. We don’t always know their names, but if you’ve never seen video or pictures of Ronnie and Donnie, the oldest living conjoined twins, you must live under a rock. You can see pictures along with the Sun’s article here. I don’t think their image should be associated with “bogey news” or “freakiness.” But, what could they do to make money if not cater to the curiosities of others. Even their own mother couldn’t handle the idea of raising conjoined twins. They should be an inspiration to anyone who thinks they are behind the eight ball in life. Ronnie and Donnie share reproductive and digestive parts, but each have their own set of arms and legs.

They’ve recently come to poor health, and expect their lives may end soon. It seems like a scary thing to face. Your conjoined twin brother dies, and you’re still alive. Then all you can do is wait. I don’t envy their position, but I envy their close relationship. Though they actually settle their differences with physical fights sometimes, they have a bond that is so rare, only they can tell their story. That is why they are being filmed for a documentary.

I hope they continue to live happily with each other. Stay cool, Ronnie and Donnie.

Froggggggg

Though it looks like it’s giving birth, this frog actually has 7 legs. It was found in the kitchen of a restaurant in China… presumably for being served… as a king-size frog legs portion.
