The Chinese soft-shelled turtle pees out of its mouth. I don't want to know how this will help people with kidney failure.

Female black dragonfish—such as this newfound specimen of the Idiacanthus genus—are "fierce predators" of small fish. But "interestingly, male dragonfish lack teeth and a functional gut, and are thought to live only long enough to breed," biologist Malcolm Clark said.

look at this fucking insatiable bullfrog

look at this fucking scuba spider


This is one of few spiders species where the male is larger than the female. Also they spend their entire lives underwater. Cue horror.

look at this fucking symbiotic shitter

This bat sleeps in pitcher plants for protection, and the plant benefits from the nutrients in the bat's guano. Truly a horrifying relationship.

look at this fucking transparent hermaphrodite

This 3cm carnivorous nudibranch - or 'sea slug' if you want to be a

look at this fucking bike race

I think the humans are losing.

The Christmas Island Crab migration sounds like a horrifying
experience your first time, but I guess every first experience with
crabs would be horrible.

look at this fucking nut cracker

The Pacu fish - related to Piranhas - sports creepy human-like teeth
that it uses to crack open fruits and nuts.
When swimming in Brasil, make sure you protect your delicate nuts and fruits.
