Basically, this thread is about those animals which look crazy, have crazy skills or behave out of the ordinary. For example, the bot fly.
According to Cracked.com's "The 5 Most Horrifying Bugs in The World" (Warning: Copypasta because I am lazy.),
" ** _ Bot Fly (family oestridae, genus and species varies) _**
From:Most species found in Central and South America, some species found all over the world
Why you must fear it:Oh boy. Ohhhhh boy. Okay, Bot flies. There are dozens of varieties of Bot Fly, they're each highly adapted to target a specific animal, they have delightfully descriptive names like Horse Stomach Bot Fly, Sheep Nose Bot Fly and, hey, guess what. One of them is called Human Bot Fly.
They each have a different and elaborate reproductive cycle, all of which end with a fat, half-inch maggot embedded in living flesh. Feeding.
Horse Stomach Bots, for example, lay their eggs in grass. Horses eat the grass. And the eggs. Which hatch in the heat of the horse's mouth. Upon which they chew through the horse's tongue and burrow, through the horse, into its belly. Where they meet up and dig honeycombs into the horse's stomach. And get fat. When they're ready to be flies, they just let go and get pooped out of the system.
The Human Bot Fly lays its eggs on a horsefly or a mosquito, something that will attempt to land on a human. This carrier finds a human and lands on him or her. The eggs rub off onto the human, whose body heat hatches the eggs. The larvae drop onto the skin and burrow right the ****in. Where they live. Under your skin. Eating.
More scary shit:Here is the best part. The larvae can grow anywhere in your body, it just depends on where the eggs wind up. Which could end up with you having a fat wormy thing in your tear duct. Or your brain. We know, because that's happened.
A Human Bot Fly larvae, burrowing into your brain. Eating your thoughts." null
So yeah, that bot fly does some crazy stuff. You DON'T want to come across one. But have you guys seen an angora rabbit? It's basically a furball. Look it up.
So yeah, any more crazy animals to talk about?

Sorry for freaking you out guys. Maybe it's just me? Pops had always been confused about me and my brain which is outside the box.
Little girls play with Barbie, right? I played with insects and reptiles when I was smaller and I had fascination towards them.
Now I'm generally apathetic, but weird stuff still fascinates me. Especially weird things nature and God created.
Here's another:
No, it's not scary at all. Even normal people thinks it's beautiful. It's the blue sea slug. I don't know much about it, but it's so beautifully unusual.

Sorry for saying this, but this thread has no space for debate, it is a list fest when you can paste the whole wikipedia article about the animal and gain papers easily. Why don't modify the topic a little, maybe in a biological aspect, or starting a discussion of why this animals look so different to what we are used to?

I would have to say a nematode by the name of Dracunculus medinensis that is found in Africa and India. It uses humans to breed. It gets into your system by drinking water which contains copepods infected with the larvae of the Dracunculus medinensis and travels to your foot and lives inside you until it matures. When it comes out it comes out slowly and burns severely as it reaches the surface of your skin. This causes a lot of its victims to search for water to cool the burning at which the nematode releases her larvae into the water where they get eaten by copepods and 2 weeks become infectious and the cycle starts over.

I'm more of a cat/dog person, but if I had an aquarium, it'd be full of sea planarian and sea slugs. They're beautiful.

They can spawn more of themselves by splitting themselves into two!
Crazy awesome.

The brown recluse spider.
It's the new BRS because it kicks more ass than Black Rock Shooter (No, I don't hate Black Rock Shooter.), despite the fact it's a simple, ugly spider.
Not so simple, tho.......
Its bite can cause NECROSIS....
"Necrosis.....is the premature death of cells and living tissue. Necrosis is caused by factors external to the cell or tissue, such as infection, toxins, or trauma....necrosis is almost always detrimental and can be fatal."
THIS IS NECROSIS
"Necrotic leg wound caused by a brown recluse spider bite"
"Example of severe tissue necrosis following a bite from the Bothrops asper snake seen on an 11-year old boy. The leg was later amputated above the knee."
Bite picture:
It even has its own website!
http://www.brownreclusespider.org/
"The symptom caused by the bite of the Brown Recluse Spider varies according to the age of the victim.
The bites are usually more dangerous in kids, young adults and third age people. The symptoms are also conditioned by the standard of life, thus being more severe in poorly fed people. At first, the bite appears in the area is swollen all around the bite. This area expands, changes to red and the skin appears to harden. The victim shows other symptoms such as fever, shivering, nausea and vomits.
Eventually, the injury grows to an ulcer. The ulcer has a dry bottom, blue or gray borders, and a red erythematous area in the periphery.
