whipSwitch · Jul 2009

HAHAHA! some of them are common - we've all seen them, but a handful are "WTF?"

!!here!!

Rens · Jul 2009

real gremlin!

Lord McMutton · Jul 2009

I'd love to get a jerboa.

Mark Dygert · Jul 2009

i am going to go to japan armed with poison, toasters plugged into the mains. depth charges, and anything i can use to remove these from the planet

if we don't stop them, they will get out, and they'll end up in you bedroom. Just looking at you while you sleep

Firebert · Jul 2009

Those damn Tubifex worms are on there!
LIGER!!!!!!! with Nick Cage, Alanis Morissette, and some dude!

D4V1DC · Jul 2009

The Malay Eagle Owl was pretty cool.

dejawolf · Jul 2009

no love for the alligator snapping turtle?

or the gavial:

Martin Henriksson · Jul 2009

Those 3 apes behind the Liger look the most fucked up of all the creatures so far in this thread.

Steve Schulze · Jul 2009

The Tawny Frog mouth is at least 35% freakier than the eagle owl

Cute little guys though when they're not doing the gaping maw thing.

I knew mudkips are real!

rolfness · Jul 2009

people eat the geoduck Ive seen it at seafood restaurants...

Joshua Stubbles · Jul 2009

Yeah Geoduck is supposedly a lot like squid/scallops in flavor/texture. The fugly monkfish (also in that list) is supposedly very tasty as well. Some of those animals are pretty f'd up. But I'd agree with vig on the Pangolin - those little suckers are badass. I want some of those pygmy marmosets. They're smaller than your FINGER! hehe. So cool.

Xenobond · Jul 2009

Candiru!

Thegodzero · Jul 2009

owls in general disturb me, the one from that list reminds me alot of a ferby, then again all owls remind me of ferbys...

Slum · Jul 2009

Target_Renegade · Jul 2009

lol, so cudly

ericdigital · Jul 2009

Pygmy Jerboa!?

WTF bird squirrel!?

edit: also, is that monkfish video real? Looks really fake to meh :poly142:

arlrex · Jul 2009

Ack, beat me to it Renegade.

Looks like its drooling.

Edit: Ok finish loading all the pictures and I think I saw some pokemons in there.

First stage

And second stage

Vailias · Jul 2009

eric: I think the video is real. They're really ugly mothers dead

Word is they taste like lobster and are caught for such reasons

And really.... is any of this really "screwed up" after you play spore?

Pretty cool animals though. I like the little jerboas and the eagle owl was cute. Interesting how it liked to be scratched behind its tufts.

Mezz · Jul 2009

lol Holy fucked up stuff, Batman!!

Some of that is really cool, and even cute... while some of it looks like a horrible, horrible sin against nature... :S

MattW · Jul 2009

I'm pretty sure the Aye-Aye is what the little guy in labirynth is based on.

joe gracey · Jul 2009

Coconut crabs are freaky.

System · Jul 2009

Angler fish ftw http://www.seasky.org/deep-sea/anglerfish.html
Reproduction : The male angler has small hook teeth, which it uses to attach itself to the female. Once he bites into her skin, he releases an enzyme that dissolves the skin of his mouth and that of her body. The two become fused together and their blood vessels join as one. = Scary!

Steve Schulze · Jul 2009

Coconut crabs are freaky.

I bet they'd make good eating though.

Yozora · Jul 2009

I used to think those angler fishes were the most ugly looking wildlife on earth, but now I realize theres a lot more competition for that title.

Now I see where many pokemon designs got their inspiration from

I hear they taste like coconut! Yummy!

Ged · Jul 2009

I wouldnt call any of them F'd up but some are creepy in an awesomely inventive and excellent reference type of way

Blaizer · Jul 2009

woahh, i said this here... nature is the best source of inspiration. If you like to see weird animals, look at the insects, the variety is huge.

One of my fav reptiles are the sungazers :P

Tulkamir · Jul 2009

Man there are some crazy wierd animals, I love it! Though I'm not so sure about this idea of these nasty ass things being tasty... I want my food to come from cute animals!

Also, I love the blobfish... baha! Just look at that face!

danr · Jul 2009

monkfish taste like lobster? Do they bollocks. Monkfish don't taste of anything as far as i can tell, which is why people are forever wrapping them in bacon

Invented in 2005 the William Edward Marmoset. This animal is tiny.

Here in Spain we eat something like those fishes, they are called "rape" and they are tasty!!!!. It's very a expensive fish we can't eat all the days :P

Yeahh beutiful! this one was smiling when they catch the photo. This weirdo guy has an like an antenna to attract poor fishes.

A small rape cooked:

I catch those geckos in my house, there are a lot. It's said that to have one brings good fortune! BTW, they are great eating mosquitoes ^^

Sungazer, small dragon ^^:

You can find those in too many houses.

Always interesting to see how long it takes stuff like this on the internet to cycle around between different groups.

LoJack · Jul 2009

oooooh I love you Nixon Monkey

rolfness · Jul 2009

hmm monk fish.. whilst it does taste good, I always try and persuade people not to eat it.

It takes 9 years for a juvenile monkfish to reach sexual maturity. and at the rate that its being fished it will be extinct in the next decade.
