*flashbacks to ARK: Survival Evolved swamplands intensify*

Monitor lizards are pretty cool. I would own a monitor, if I didn't own cats and chickens. Free eggs for him tho...

[Scoops Novel]

Mongooses. That is all.

How about the blobfish?

[Scoops Novel]

I did not realise that was a real animal, and he looks like your avatar.

[King Zultan]

Blobfish is saddest fish.

Blobfish are real, but they don't normally look like that. They are fat, but mostly it is an artifact of decompression damage.

[McTraveller]

I don't know if I can recommend them, but sea cucumbers are fascinating. They are classified as animals but... you know, the ocean is full of bizarre things.

Agreed, and I do recommend them. Like Labidiaster annulatus, the antarctic sun starfish:

Among the echinoderms (and, more on topic, among the sea cucumbers), the sea pig is another great choice:

Their bodies have no bones and rely on deep sea water pressure to maintain their shape, so when they get caught in deep trawler nets or lines and pulled to the surface they go all gooey and die as their flesh expands. Hard to say if it's a better or worse look than a lot of other deep sea animals which have their organs push out of their mouths due to the pressure change when brought to the surface.

Decompression does nasty things to a body. IIRC the pressure difference between the deep sea and the surface is several times more severe than the difference between surface level earth pressure and the vaccuum of space.

Yeah, probably should've mentioned the pressure/decompression thing.

Haha, now that you mention it, there's some likeness.

A sea cucumber exploded me a hundred times in splatoon 2's DLC.  Hard to like them, cute hat or not.

The Blue-eyed black lemur

Jesus christ why are they endangered

[Eric Blank]

Probably because their eyes will cure erectile dysfunction according to chinese traditional medicine. And clearcutting of their habitats for lumber and commercial farms. Same with every other creature on Earth

[King Zultan]

Man those things look like they've seen some serious shit.
