here's some creatures which are weird as hell..
Seapig
This is some kind of weird deep sea sea-cucumber.
Ajolote
Not to be confused with the Axolotl (which comes later) this is an Ajolote, which is a freaky long retile found in Mexico with only two legs.
Aye-Aye
looking like a hellspawn, the aye-aye is a native of Madagascar (where you find the cute lemurs).. it uses it's extremely long finger to tap out and find grubs burrowing in wood and then uses the same digit to dig them out...
Chinese and Japanese Giant Salamander
Chinese Version
Japanese Versionboth grow up to about 2 metres long... are predators which eat fish and crustaceans..
Pygmy Jerboa
cute as hell, they're desert rodents which are found in north africa and asia.. see one of them hop around here => Jerboa!!
Giant Isopod
looking like a giant roach or worse, they inhabit the deep atlantic and thankfully, not the beaches off the east coast..
Thorny Devil Lizard
resident of australia, it lives in the desert and eats ants.. the thorns prevent it from being eaten by other creatures
Hagfish
it's an ugly fish.. but what makes it more disgusting is the huge amounts of slime it can produce..
Hairy Frog
native to central africa... it's weirdness is.. that.. it's a frog.. with hair!! 'nuff said
Human-Faced Carp
some hobbyist in Korea cross-bred a couple of types of fish and this appeared..
Sea Devil
some kind of deep sea angler-fish with a huge expandable stomach... it has lots of hair-like things which may be used to attract its prey...
Proboscis Monkey
the male of this species has this idiotic nose... but this doesn't help this Borneo native much as it's now considered critically endangered
Goblin Shark
looking like your worse deep sea nightmare, the goblin shark is real..
face your fears here => Goblin Shark chomping on some guy
Purple Frog
looking like The Blob of the frog family, this Indian frog lives underground most of its life... but it just looks... obese..
Pygmy Marmoset
native of brazil, the marmoset is one of the smallest monkeys on the planet.. aren't the babies adorable?
Sea Dragon
a type of seahorse, they look very pretty, yet freaky..
Tarsier
insect-eating creatures with eyes bigger than its brain, the huge eyes are for nocturnal hunting... the eyes are so big the skull is the same size as each of the eyes.. living in south-east asia, they're also critically endangered
Axolotl
this weird creature is here because it can reach maturity without metamorphosis... and when it does, it turns into a salamander-like creature without the frilly gills.. they usually do not.. they can also regrow a complete new limb if they are injured..
Angora Rabbit
all i can say is.. wtf??
Blobfish
again, this is another wtf? a deep sea fish... which is.. blobbish...
Candiru
the fabled "vampire fish" of the amazon... legends say it swims up the penis of unsuspecting victims and lodges itself inside!!

Dumbo Octopus
a deep deep sea octopus.. cute isn't it?
Olm
it's a blind amphibian found in the subterranian caves of southern europe.. looks kinda gross...
Rosy-Lipped Batfish
why is it wearing lipstick? ahahaha!! found in waters off costa rica, near the cocos island, it's one of the weirdest things around
Saiga Antelope
okay.. i've put it here because it looks like Alf... but it is found around mongolia and the steppes region.. sadly, it's critically endangered..
Star-nosed mole
weird as heck, it uses the "fingers" of its nose to feel things... especially its earthworm prey.. found in North America
Turtle Frog
looks like an unholy union of frog and soft shelled turtle.. the turtle frog is found in southern part of western australia..
Weta
found in new zealand, one of the biggest insects around.. it's classified under the genus Deinacrida.. which means.. Terrible Grasshopper... oh ya.. it bites.. and it's jaws are HUGE!!

Do they have any natural predators? I don't think there's any bird that wants to eat them.
they are so big because there are no predators..
oh yah.. they can also be frozen solid, then thaw out like nothing has happened..
