There Are Apparently Aliens Among Us…

Q: What walks on water, has not one, but two frowny faces, is mildly poisonous, and is just plain terrifying in every conceivable way?

A: I think it’s a wasp, but I’m still calling in the Men in Black for this one.

I’m a Flatfish… I Swear!

x

Share

This amazing/terrifying mimic octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus) is a dirty liar. To protect itself against predators, it can change its coloring to take on the appearance of a spiny lionfish. And if it needs to move around unhindered or make a hasty retreat, it can also rearrange the position of its tentacles to resemble a poisonous zebra sole.

Of course, the mime’s penchant for camouflage isn’t perfect, but it usually works well enough to allow it time to escape certain death at the jaws of its predators. The deep sea is so full of awesome!

He’s Really On a Roll

What happens when you give an octopus a coconut? You wind up with footage for a really amazing chase scene for the next nature-themed Werner Herzog film.

It’s a Big, Big World for a Little Frog

x

Share

Tiny amphibian babies are unsurprising in the animal kingdom… but this frog is fully grown.

The frog belongs to a new species that researchers are calling Microhyla nepenthicola, and adult males are typically between 10.6 and 12.8 millimeters long.

But despite their size, they’re apparently quite good at singing very loudly after the sun goes down at night.

Oh, nature. You never cease to be awesome.

Who Are You Talking To, Hal?

Is that Jamie on the phone? Are you talking to Jamie? I haven’t talked to her in ages! Can I say hello? I’d really love to hear her voice again. She was always so sweet when she fed me my Sunday sardines…

Bedazzle Bug

Submitted by: dunno source via Submission Page

Oooh, check out the fancy flossin’ lady bug’! Looks like somebody married up in the bug world.

This lady bug has a glow that can only be produced by upscale bug salons. I bet she even hired a nanny to take care of all her baby bugs so she could work on keeping her exterior so sparkly. She must be a Real Housewife of Bug City, ’cause she looks like she’s been renewing herself.
