He's adorable! He looks like he's smiling. I can almost hear his thoughts.

"Yeah I got more Valentine's than you! Muwhahaha! Who's cooler now Micky Mouse? Who's the better rodent now?!"

I glanced at the thumbnail of a harlequin fetus on google. That's enough to keep me awake for a few nights If anybody is tempted to go look at a picture, just read a description instead. You can probably satisfy your curiosity just from that.

Wonderful. You know I'm going to give into temptation and Google it soon. *sits around nervously, twiddling her thumbs*

So, yeah, I googled it. my best description is the shape of a child but a tomato like head with pieces of hard ham attached all around the body. Two baby tomatos for it's eyes.

Not for the faint of heart or stomach.

Oof. I clicked it, and it's not AS bad as I imagined, but it's still horrible. Yeah, I wouldn't suggest you click it if you're not in for a shock. It's sad really, because that's a real human child right there.

Lighter note, *puts on cheeky smile* that Dumbo Octopus is pretty cute. I can see why they named it that. It reminds me of the Quiznos subs singing weird hamster/monkeys thingers...

That is pretty creepy looking, but you have to rember that is an actuall person that is dead now. I actually feel really sorry for him. He didn't even get a chance at life. And his parents, waiting 9 months for a child, then giving birth and being told he has no chance of survival.

I have a newfound respect for octopuses -- they really are intelligent animals. The blanket octopus can't touch the mimic octopus, but they're still pretty amazing. Since they don't have their own defense mechanism, they steal one. Blanket octopuses are immune to man-o-war jellyfish poison, so they rip off the tentacles of the jellyfish they find and use them as weapons. The female blanket octopus is 40,000 times larger than the male. So the male, being the size of a jellybean, is gonna need some defense. I imagine it's pretty cute to see the poor little guy waving a jellyfish tentacle around, hoping to scare off any predators.

After mating, the male just dies. It's sad, but Mother Nature sees little purpose in the little fella past impregnating the female. Oh well.

Love the blanket octopuses!

Flounders are also insane.

[Shrew]

The Harlequin Fetus and the little girl without a face...Those are just about the saddest things I've ever seen...

I love that dog though.

there's a worm a bit like that, i cant remember the details tho, and cant find the right bit the book it was in, but the male worm actually lives inside the female worm and the only thing it does is help with reproduction.

Don't worry, its about 2x as worse as the harelquin baby. I feel really sorry for poor little girl.

The harelquin baby was kind of gross looking. I don't see whats bad about that baby. Sure, it doesn't have a face. Other than that, its a normal baby. I don't get whats gross about that. Its not the face only that makes a person pretty. Its sad that it has to go through surgeries and whatnot, and its sad it will never be "normal", but its not gross.

The male anglerfish is about a fifth the size of the female, and becomes a permanent parasite on the female for the rest of his life. Oo

It's the part about the stomach and the tube stuff. It really is distrubing on how she eats.

That happens in another species, too.......oh yes, human beings.

Depends on your position on mercy death.

Anyway, on to the freaky nonhuman critters!

This cute little fella is called a sphinx cat:


AAAAaaaah!!! It's an Okapi!


And it's lighting a fire!!!

[ahoteinrun]

The Javan Rhinocerous.
Get a good look people.
At last count, theres barely fourty left.
Rarest large land mammal in the world.



Better (cuter) image of the Okapi (these are weird?) think forest giraffe (which is what they are.) They're so cute! I want one... i'd feed it leaves and dance around it singing songs from Disney movies.


But Sumatran Rhinos are furry!

[Full Metal Alchemist]

Ish a Cama. Llama x Camel. Pretty Cute!

A chimera. yes, i know. It's a sheep x goat hybrid.

Servical. 1..2..3..All together now! Awww!

Wolphin. Dolphin x Whale. I think it's quite freaky!

[Wolven Spirits]

This cute little fella is called a sphinx cat:

Awwww, that is SOOO adorable XDD *glomps*

As for the girl with no face..it's not disgusting, it's sad. When she grows up... how is she going to feel? It's going to be hard to live with... But I agree, it's not gross.
