25 Peculiar Creatures

Man, some wacky things live on this earth of ours.

I’m going to go ahead and say that this presentation of 24 peculiar creatures is incomplete. Sure, there are probably tons of biological entities we have not yet discovered, but there is one that, had I not seen it in recent scientific news stories, I would not have believed to be an actual living creature.

It is my pleasure to introduce the Tardigrade, or Water Bear:

Among my favourites from the above list, the Axolotl:

…the Blobfish:

…and last, but not least, the Dumbo Octopus:

Shout-outs to the Pink Fairy Armadillo for its name, as well as the Star-Nosed Mole and Sucker-Footed Bat for looking like things out of a horror movie.

  1. As the webmaster of the original link: “24 Peculiar Creatures” (http://stressbuster1.com/wrapper/peculiar-creatures/), I say “WOW! Cool! I like it” to this new creature: “the Tardigrade, or Water Bear”!! Thanks!

  2. The Water Bear is my favorite. I was surprised to find out thatthey can grow up to 1.5 milimeters and survive in almost any conditions. It would make a great pet wouldn’t it?
