Now those, I have never heard of. Incredible. What a strange animal. And a real one! Also props for the Velvet Worm and Haeckel's Jellyfish Illustrations. He made an incredible collection.

:D Ah, Coconut Crabs. I wish we had them here. Nothing like cat sized crustaceans going through your rubbish to start a day off. Unfortunately, they're largely imagined. But still marvellous.

What are those things with the image filename of "trilobyte larva" then? Velvet worms are possibly one of the weirdest things on the planet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_wormHere's my contribution of an alien plant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_rhubarb I think it was on an episode BBC's Planet Earth. Water Bears are also ace. Check out the amount of radiation and other shit they can survive. Lastly this blog often has some weird animals, amongst other fun stuff like retro scifi and steampunk features.

These are exactly outlandish, but they are nonetheless awesome creatures. Argentavis Magnificens - 40 ft wingspan, took off like a plane it was so heavy. Wiki the stats on this one Pangolins are possibly my favourites animal. They can walk on their hind legs and are just plain awesome. This shit be scary. Vampire squid. Has photophorescent orbs that change colour according to his posture. This one is worth Wiki-ing. Generally, deep sea creatures are damned awesome. But as far as awesome land faring animals im in the dark.

Jeb, I promise I will look up the puss caterpillar, but I'm eating right now and something tells me it would be prudent to wait until I'm done with breakfast More to come, but here's a video of a I find this strangely disturbing, and can't help but imagine versions large enough to eat people...
