Found this in another forum i'm apart of. Pretty cool stuff. I'll post some pictures of some of these animals/creatures. Deep sea creatures seam to be the most intriguing, but there are definatly land animals that can do some amazing stuff!

Deep-Sea Angler^^ have a lure in front of their head that they can make glow which lures prey close to their mouth so they can grab it. Pretty sweet if you ask me, mean lookin too.

The Portuguese Man O' War ^^, that thing at the top is a "bladder" that they fill with air to float at the top of the water. It can fill with over 90% carbon dioxide! It has to stay wet to insure survival. They don't move on their own or anything, the just move by the wind and current. Those tenticals below them dangle in the water and can reach over 10 meters in length!!

Glass Squid ^^ Another Deep sea creature. Pretty sweet looking, something that you will probably never see in person unless you are at a really good zoo or happen to go very very deep diving!

What else do you guys got? I find pretty much any animal/creature intriguing. There are a lot of them out there that we still dont know what they are or what they do. Some of the deep sea animals are pretty crazy and have some seriously wild characteristics.

Trev ive seen an angler fish when i was in Seattle at Pike Street Market, it was caught by accident and they put it on display, they are like a brownish/red thing about 3 1/2 feet in lenth and the teeth look like needles and have glassed over eyes. really creepy looking in real life and up close.

Trevor, i posted the vid of that bird a couple months ago in the media section, hehehehehe.

i have a video of a monkey taunting two tigers that cant catch him. also, did you know an alpha male chimpanzee can pull 1,000lbs with 1 arm?

sorry, i like monkeys a lot.
