>>5107778Whoa I thought that was a baby duck at first glance
>>5107775the male baphomet moth is a fucking abomination, even if the godforsaken tentacle-like protrusions are just hilariously oversized scent glands
Damascus Goat
>>5107775By looks alone the platypus is hard to beat, but the axolotl has that freaky regrowth.The more biology I learn the more I feel like humans are some of the most boring animals. Probably not a good opinion for an ICU nurse to have. Eh.
>>5107775This pic does shoebills dirty they don't look that monstrous usually

Somebody please post that webm of the weird worm eating another weird worm.

>>5108210God i hate animals that larp as plants. The nerve to reject their animality
humanswhy are some attracted to scat and feet
>>5109212Nope. You just have a defective brain mixed with childhood trauma.
>>5109203why are some attracted to bulbous asses that stick out like truck bumpers? a racial map could only know
>>5109196its not larping as plants, its larping as a vagina or at least the female equivalent of a vagina for crabs
>>5107775These black sea stars are the weirdest one I've seen with my own eyes. When I saw one for the first time it freaked me out. Something very unsettling about the way they move in the water. Extraterrestrial looking bastards.
>>5109689>forgot picTime to never reopen the thread again out of shame.
>Henneguya salminicola>Be the only multicellular organism that's known to not breathe oxygen>May have started off as cancer cells that later became their own thing>Related more to jellyfish than anything else>Exists as a salmon parasite
>>5109689>>5109690i saw one of those things inside a tide pool eating the slime that i made a sea hare pop out (those big brown/black sea slugs). then some fish with a lizard face also showed up. shit looked straight outta lovecraft
>>5109203unlike you some humans have taste. also, feet attraction isn't unique to humans, both male and female blue boobys sexually select for feet.
Undersea creatures don't count. Theyre all so fucking werid. Star nose mole is my favorite weird animal
>>5107920>>5108437That's a type of salp which tend to be transparent in general, but there's a fucked up amphipod that's even more impressive.
"Sea spiders" (pycogonids) are all leg, and all stomach.(picrel, digestive system in yellow)The guts in the legs also double as secondary hearts of sorts to keep hemolymph flowing to/from the tip of the legs, particularly important since they mostly breath though their legs as well:>Because the volumes of the two main fluid compartments (hemolymph and gut) together must add up to approximately the total leg volume, gut liquids pushed distally by peristalsis displace distal hemolymph proximally toward the body (and vice versa when peristalsis pushes gut liquids proximally). The distance moved by gut particles in a single wave was as small as one quarter of a segment length in species with weak peristalsis (e.g. Nymphon australe) and more than one leg segment in species with vigorous peristalsis (e.g. Colossendeis megalonyx, and Nymphopsis spinosissima). Packets of hemolymph and gut fluid traversed similar distances but in opposite directions.tl;dr these fucking things basically have freeze pops for legs
>>5110429Incidentally their gonads also spill out to the upper leg segments, those becoming pregnant with eggs
>>5110350>both male and female blue boobys sexually select for feetbased footchads can't stop winning
>>5110359More noses to skin per skin
>>5107775The cnidarian that lost its mitochondria.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henneguya_zschokkeiMaybe not visually impressive but one of the best examples of just how insane evolution can be.
Dendrogramma.They're so weird looking that people assumed they were a new phylum when they were discovered, but DNA testing showed them to be Cnidarians
