ThE MosT DiSgUsTiNg&ScArY AnImAlS On EaRtH

• 1)Magnapinna Squid
• 
• This is the Magnapinna Squid, also called the Elbow Squid because, well, it’s a squid with elbows, isn’t it? The Magnapinna Squid are so rare that the adult variety of some species still remain scientifically unclassified, as no one has ever seen them alive. Luckily, in November of 2007, a Shell Oil remotely operated vehicle was surveying the ocean floor nearly a mile and a half down, when it happened across an adult Magnapinna
• 2)Blanket Octopus
• 
• 
• The Blanket Octopus, or Tremoctopus, lives in the waters of Northern Australia, because that is where crazy scary animals come from. Australia has more terror per capita than Elm Street, so if something looks like a nightmarish monster. But what’s truly disturbing about the Blanket Octopus has little to do with the threat it poses to humans, but everything to do with the unceasing intimidation and terror that it brings to the other marine animals.
• Instead of spraying ink, its defensive mechanism is to unfurl a massive, flowing, blood-red cape and fly dramatically about, scaring the shit out of all the surrounding fish. But there’s more! The Blanket Octopus has also evolved immunity to one of the deadlier creatures in its domain, the Portugese Jellyfish, but the Blanket Octopus doesn't exactly take a “live and let live” attitude towards this immunity; it takes full advantage of it, by ripping off the jellyfish’s poisonous tentacles and then using them as weapons against other sea creatures.
• That's right: It rips off the arms off of a deadly predator and then uses them as poison-whips against its enemies!
• The blanket Octopus is so fuckin intimidating:it, when encountering a female, fills one of its tentacles with sperm, pulls it from its own body, and then just gives it to the female
• 3)Hairy Frog
• 
• The Hairy Frog, native to Central Africa, is so named for the hair-like strands found along its sides and thighs. These aren’t actually hair, though: They’re skin growths containing dozens of arteries that help the frog to stay underwater longer.But even disregarding the fact that they are covered in blood-hair, the Hairy Frog has another unique and disturbing characteristic: It has claws!
• 
• 4)Assassin Spider
• 
• This is the Assassin Spider. It lives in Southern Africa and – surprise! – Australia.
• 
• See, the Assassin Spider is named for the uniquely long neck that separates its head from its thorax which, in conjunction with its proportionally gigantic venom-coated fangs - up to ten times the size of a normal spider - allow it to strike like a snake does: It snaps its elongated neck out and uses those forward-thrust mandibles to spear potential prey.
• 5)Toe-Biters
• 
• That horrible insect up there is called a Giant Water Bug, or a Toe-Biter. Variations of the species can be found all across the world, from South America to East Asia. They’re even considered a delicacy by the Thai people, who must have evolved mentally-retarded mouths to think that eating something as appalling as a Toe-Biter is an acceptable thing to do. The male Toe-Biter carries the female’s eggs to gestation on its back, which results in that nauseating, slime-acne-pockmarked vomit-inducer up there.
• 
• The Toe-Biters also have one of the most painful bites of any insect on the planet. They inject large volumes of digestive saliva into their prey as soon as they strike, which immediately begins to liquefy the muscle tissue. And the term “prey,” unfortunately, often does include humans. See, its natural reflex is to play dead when threatened, where it then emits a disgusting fluid from its anus to stop predators from eating it. However, unless you’re a mouth-retard, you’re not likely trying to eat it, and therefore won’t even detect its presence. So, it will soon spring back into life feeling threatened, where it will then proceed to rot your muscles with its stomach-juices.
• 6)LEUCOCHLORIDIUM PARADOXUM
• In the below images,those droppings the snail ate were swarming with the eggs of the parasitic flatworm,
• Leucochloridium. Invading its simple little gastropod brain, the worms have
• completely rewired its behavior, and with their colorful, pulsing "brood sacs"
• crammed into your eye-stalks, its head now resembles a couple of fat, juicy insect
• larvae - every bird's favorite.
• 
• 
• 
• 7)SACCULINA
• 
• The "insects" of the sea, Crustaceans come in all manner of curious shapes and
• sizes, adapted to a wide array of aquatic environments. Few are so unusual as the
• largely sedentary Cirripedia, more commonly known as the barnacles, and there is
• surely no barnacle more unusual than genus Sacculina. Like the other Cirripedes, it
• begins its life as a microscopic, free-swimming "nauplius," but rather than anchor in
• place and feed on plankton for the rest of its life, a female Sacculina spend its youth
• hunting for one of its fellow Crustacea; a crab several thousand times its own size.
• Once Sacculina locates a suitable host, it inserts a thin needle into a seam in the
• crab's armor, injects its own cells into the host and discards the rest of its own
• body. Now little more than a protoplasmic blob, it begins to grow through the crab
• like a tumor, wrapping fungus-like tendrils around organs, muscles and even the
• crab's eyes.
• 
• Soon, the intruder reveals its presence to the outer world as a bulging, blobby body
• known as the externa, located where the host crab would normally carry a sac of
• eggs. If the host happens to be male, the parasite simply alters its hormonal balance,
• adjusting the crab's body and behavior to resemble that of an egg-carrying female.
• 
• It is at this point that the male Sacculina finally enters the picture: Injecting itself into
• the externa, it fertilizes the parasite's eggs, and the crab is induced to nurture them
• as it would its own. Eventually, it will climb atop a rock or coral and shake its body in
• the current, an action that would normally release thousands of crab larvae into the
• surrounding water. The crab can never reproduce with its own kind, only continue to
• raise the offspring of a cancerous invader.
• 8)The Strepsiptera
• "Strepsiptera" translates as "twisted wing;" and wings aren't the only thing twisted
• about this order of Insecta. As spiny, hopping larvae, they will either lie in ambush or
• actively hunt for another insect to parasitize, with roughly 600 known species
• specializing in different hosts including bees, beetles, cockroaches and even
• silverfish. Once a larva locates its preferred target, it secretes a corrosive enzyme to
• melt its way into the other insect's body, loses its legs and creates a protective
• chamber out of the host's own tissues. If the parasite is female, this is how it shall
• remain for the remainder of its existence.
• 
• If we're dealing with a male Strepsiptera, our parasite will eventually undergo
• metamorphosis into the order's namesake, a delicate little insect with unusual
• fan-like wings and even more unusual eyes, whose structure is partially shared only
• by the long-extinct Trilobita. With a lifespan of only a few hours, the male is
• unequipped to even feed at all, with his mouthparts modified into an array of sensory
• appendages.
• 9)The Chimaeras
• 
• Also called "ratfish," these primitive creatures are distinct from the sharks and rays in their
• own special order, the Chimaeriformes, most abundant in the deepest waters. Instead of
• sharp teeth, their jaws are equipped with thick plates that can grind apart the shells of crabs
• and mussels that they root from the mud. Many species have a lethally venomous spine
• before the dorsal fin, but encounters with humans are incredibly rare.
• 
• Some species, such as this long-nosed chimaera, have a greatly enlarged snout that
• provides extra room for electroreceptive pores, which they wave above the sea floor like a
• metal detector.
• 
• 
• 10)The Goblin Shark
• 
• Rarely seen by man but thought to be quite abundant, the mysterious Mitsukurina owstoni
• was once known as the "tengu" shark, after long-nosed crow spirits from Japanese folklore.
• A juvenile specimen filmed in late 2008 is the first of its kind ever captured on video, and
• demonstrates the animal's most striking feature as it snaps at the arm of a diver:
• 
• Though reaching nearly ten feet in length at maturity, the goblin shark feeds mainly upon
• animals small enough to swallow whole, using its uniquely extensible jaws as a vacuum-like
• mechanism. As such, their jaws are far too feeble to bite pieces out of larger prey, and
• would pose no significant danger to a human swimmer.
• 
• 11)Cookie-cutter Sharks
• 
  
• 
• The world's weirdest shark in my personal opinion, Isistius brasiliensis is barely twenty
• inches in length, but preys upon creatures from the tiniest crustacea to the largest whales.
• To hunt smaller animals, its luminous underbelly provides camouflage against the faint light
• from the waters above - except for a small, darkened patch that presumably fools prey into
• seeing a much tinier fish, the only known case of luminescence being used in this manner.
• 
• To prey on bigger animals, the shark simply sinks its bizarre jaws deep into their skin, twists
• its entire body and swims off with a perfectly circular plug of meat. Fish, sharks and whales
• of all sizes have been found with telltale scoop-marks in their flesh, including seals and
• dugongs restricted to shallower depths. This shows that the cookie-cutters leave their
• deeper waters with some regularly, most likely at night, leaving few safe havens from their
• hit-and-run flesh eating. By feeding non-lethally on larger bodies, these sharks can even be
• considered part-time parasites.
• 
• Cookie cutter sharks have even taken bites out of rubber
• submarine components, forcing the installation of fiberglass
• covers to shield sensitive equipment.
