Ten weird creatures

Found this 10 weirdest newly discovered animals link on the NPR site. It seems like the buggers get weirder and weirder as the humans discover them. The rarest are probably just perceived at first as strange and unusual; but imagine what it was like to have seen a rhinoceros for the first time. The Europeans thought it was some kind of unicorn :P

Here's a link to the National Geographic article.

And, of course, may favorite - pictured is the Yoda Bat.

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.

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?

Barry, the sea worm

Want to see something gross? Click this link. Eeeeeeeeeyyyyyeeeeeeew, AOL. Someone sent me this AOL article. AOL is gross, isn’t it? Oh, I guess this worm is too. Something about Barry terrorizing other aquatic life at a British aquarium.
