Pyura Chilensis. It resembles a mass of organs inside a rock. It is born male, becomes hermaphroditic at puberty, and reproduces by tossing clouds of sperm and eggs into the surrounding water. If it is alone, it will procreate by self-fertilization.
Post more weird Wauf please.
Not really unknown but i fricking love hagfish, the slime tooth wormfish outlasted fricking trex and every other vertabite
White-striped dorcopsis
the mexican blind lizard
Alsodes nodosus Frogs bulk up to mate with female Alsodes nodosus Frogs in Patagonian Mountain Streams.
CHARGER'S GOT ME!
Would.
the angler fish method of mating is pure body horror. Tiny male latches onto the females stomach, her tissue grows into him, he loses all his fins and just becomes a lump of flesh that ejaculates inside her

want to learn about weird? look up what a porcupine penis looks like
Not as weird as an echidna penis.
I do not regret googling that.
Post it cowards.
https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=what+does+a+porcupine+penis+look+like
An idiot and a coward, impressive.
Not a lot of new weird Wauf stuff in this thread, so have the venus girdle. It's a type of comb jelly(ctenophore) that employs eel-like locomotion(anguilliform) to try and escape predation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_girdle
Your contribution didn't go unnoticed. Nice work Waufon
bump with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiculosiphon_oceana . They're a type of amoeba that steals parts from sponges to create a test that acts a lot like carnivorous sponges do.
Pgnwsy
Imagine the flavor

lolololol
beeg squint
Gorgonorhynchus repens, a proboscis worm that spits out a sticky proboscis to hunt or in response to a threat. I've seen nice porn of this thing
Swallowtail caterpillars
Couldn't find a good gif of them extending their antenna(?) which look like snake tongues.
I love these Pokemon
Caterpie!
don't they squeak violently when you pick them up? I found a snake mimic caterpillar that did that once, was real cute
Could it be weaponized to target something other than rocks? Like something more biologically active?
Yeah, but only cats.
this thread has frightened me but i havent decided what im going to do about it
Eat your fears, brother. You'll become stronger for it.
Imagine how big the tenderloin and ribeyes are on an elephant. I bet you could find someone selling it in africa somewhere.
I think that is an actual xenomorph larva. Scary. Don't let it get too close to you.
Describe taste. Now.
Oh herro.
White asparagus squid
This could be the hair of a nice humanoid and otherwordly creature who wants to reproduce with humans.
frick off
>My father is an octopus and my mother a ginger root: Adventures in the total deep under the sea
These japs and their light novels have gone too far!
Seasponges are weird, they're not plants but are just very primitive animals. They can swim in their larval stage and find the place where they want to become a sponge. They were thought to be completely stationary, but there's evidence of sea sponges very slowly moving a few feet in order to catch food more easily.
I have sponges in my reef tank and it's fricking weird! I had to watch aa documentary about them to get a clue because their way of life is so alien. After the free swimming larvae becomes a sponge you can rip the sponge apart and have 2 sponges that both are alive.
>you can rip the sponge apart and have 2 sponges that both are alive
Do you think you could wipe your ass with the sponge? I feel like it would do a really nice job of cleaning up your shit, especially if its fresh out of the tank and still wet. I bet it would even thrive off of eating your poop once you put it back in the tank.
Nah, they shouldn't be exposed to air, let alone my poop and air. Worse yet is that the little fricks are poisonous, when I remove them from my tank by hand my fingers get numb
So why is the entire ocean floor not just carpeted with these tribbles of the sea?
because things eat them
What do they taste like?
like starfish cum
These are parasitic amphipods...
Somehow this xenomorph looking creature is a crustacean
They've evolved bodyforms which are less complex in their mature stage due to their parasitic lifestyle. The juvenile form is usually more complex and motile while the adult is fully parasitic adult and sessile. It's basically an organic nutrient siphon and reproduction machine. Extremely creepy.
>Somehow this xenomorph looking creature is a crustacean
>somehow
Anon, anon, anon.. Are you new here? OF COURSE it's a crustacean
So true, these frickers are never normal
I'm scared to look that up
do you have a species name? i tried to search the image but could not find the source.
sorry i didnt visit the thread, and nope, I sadly don't remember it, it's a copepod that's what I remeber, sorry:( I will try to search it back
wait I'm dumb, It wasn't a copepod, I meant an amphipod
The absolute cope of this pod.
u a cute anon 🙂
thanks i bet you are too, but can anyone else help me find the amphipod?i reverse searched and found this image, it has info but is on RUSSIAN so if any rusanons can help?
the caption just says "giant ectoparasitic copepod"
Thanks anons! if we settle with that info i think im happy
pretty sure i found it, while searching that fish i found some papers describing Lophoura szidati which parasitizes it, looks to be the same animal as the photos
http://www.luciopesce.net/pdf64/lophoura.pdf has a lot of diagrams and information
They are quite tasty too! ;D
Describe the taste in minute detail
Muntjacs thread the line of freaky and cute. Couldn't find a better image
>three sets of eyes
Terrifying that something like this can exist
Those are scent glands. I wonder how they smell. I purchased real tibetan musk deer grains out of curiosity and they smell like dirty sex in both a good and bad way.
What's the benefit of having four prolapsing veganas on their face? Isn't it easier to just have scent glands on their skin like other mammals?
>What's the benefit of having four prolapsing veganas on their face?
Novelty. White-tails just don't do it for me anymore.
It looks fricking gross and makes predators not want to eat them. I know I wouldn't.
More precision when scent marking something like it's doing to the food in the webm i imagine
>Inhabiting tropical regions, the deer have no seasonal rut, and mating can take place at any time of year; this behaviour is retained by populations introduced to temperate countries.
A species so loose that they evolved extra veganas so they can take more wieners at once.
This animal didn't exist before the coronavirus. Think about the first time you saw it, now you know I'm right.
that webm is like 8 years old
>strawb
That's the strawbelephant, get it right )^:<
Actually, it's technically called a strawbephant <:^)
Delightfully goofy
love these lil guys, they basically use beneficial algae to photosynthesise by proxy
whatever the frick these things are
Makes me think of sea salps.
Barrel octopus are cute and remind me of
death grips YOTS animal
Protein for days.
Wouldn't try that, and I'm not curious of the flavor.
Cool. Would make it into a jellyfish salad in that case.
Haha imagine if you were sitting on the ground and it accidentally wiggled into your ass haha
>GADZOOKS! A WORM HAS CRAWLED UP MY ANUS!
Ok sea cucumber

>A8NTH8
couldnt find the jav video
Yeah, haha. Wouldn't that be so horrible and awkward? I couldn't even imagine haha.
When they ploughed the land in Gippsland it would be red with the blood of these creatures.
that sounds like something an indian tribe leader would say in a western
>when they move rapidly through their burrows, it can cause an audible gurgling or sucking sound which allows them to be detected.[5][6]
Sea Urchin in larvae stage is pretty weird.
salp are fricking bizarre man
Do you think these would just taste like jellyfish?
Jellyfish are pretty much just collagen, so maybe?
Look at this funny shotgun
This board is for real animals, not Star Wars animals. Wrong board
Are these flavorful? How is the snout meat?
No one nose.
Do you know anyone that can find snout for me?
>see obviously endangered animal
>hehe how does it taste yum
frick off you degenerate
Don't get snooty with me. I didn't ask if eating that things nose will make my dick bigger, only if it would taste delicious.
Now please help me determine if the taste is delicious.
The moment I read its description I imagined it was a tunicate. Those things are fricking weird, their larvae LOSES its nervous system during development, it has a heart and is more closely related to you than octopus.
Does this creature deserve to live in this world? Maybe we should band together to get rid of it. I don't like its aura.
obligatory dendrogaster, a crustacean parasite of sea stars
Are these edible?
it would be like eating a barnacle, I am making this up by the way
I've had gooseneck barnacles before. They were actually really delicious.
Greetings Chang
consider potoos
It has the head of the Cloverfield monster
Potoos are cute.
Do they taste yummy?
Of course
Really cool. Have you consumed such beings before?
yes, many times they are an iodine bomb
How do they compare to sea urchin?
they are different in flavor and texture, if you like one you will not necessarily like the other
Damn. I love sea urchin like you wouldn't believe. Is it comparable to anything more common?
They taste like how a week-long low tide would smell. So no.
lovechild of pinecone and armadillo
fun fact: the leprosis pathogen mycobacterium leprae is extremely hard to grow in laboratories and armadillo tails have been found to be the ideal culture medium.
That's just mean
Armadillos in the wild are known vectors for it
another walking phishe
Now I'm thinking about it, is it the only animal walking on 3 legs?
If whales ever crawl back out of the water they'd most likely be tripods
Their hips are almost completely gone along with their hind limbs with no evolutionary path to regain them
So their tails would have to be a third leg
>they'd most likely be tripods
moron. There's no world where whales would somehow adapt to supporting themselves on their tails. They would need big changes to their bodyplan to be able to egress from the water as it is.
Do you think land whales or water whales would taste better?
I've never had whale. If I went to Japan I would try it. I've had venison and it's pretty good. Eating a water mammal sounds interesting. I wonder how elephant tastes.
Elephant is my dream food. I'm eagerly awaiting wooly mammoth revival and I hope they're farmed for meat so I can finally eat as our ancestors did.
You are more likely to find it in Norway. They hunt more whales than Japan despite having only 20% of the population.
Despite having only 20% of the population, they commit the majority of the violent crimes against whales :^)
That's not how evolution works.
Yeah I don't think they were speaking English either
I've had whale. It tasted like very bland but slightly fishy bacon.
What if you smoked it and cured it like bacon, or was it already smoky?
I said IF dummy
It would be more likely for them to develop limbs from their tails that to spontaneously sprout brand new limbs out of nowhere wouldn't it
There are wild dolphins that beach themselves to get at fish and then wiggle back into the water
I could see them venturing a bit further and flopping about like seals
Which could provide the necessary pressures to develop greater land mobility
Kangaroos kind of use their tail to move in a tripod fashion
Cool. Didnt know these existed
This fish is for display purposes only.
What's his fricking problem
first for feather stars!
yikes
Cute water friend!
They're so silly, I don't get the people that get creeped out by them, they're literally floating feather dusters.
AAAAIIEEE A SEABORN
for me, it's this fish that decided to grow CRAB LEGS
I'm catching a lot of these little shits while fishing, I usually fry them and they're pretty good.
That thing is actually pulling itself along with its legs, isn't it. It's tail isn't even moving.
we have gunards at the aquarium i work at
they just crawl around all day
It wouldn't have evolved legs if they didin't work
GASHUNK GASHUNK
NO

Ito's works are plain goofy for me but Gyo legit gave me nightmares.
Carcinization is real and isn't restricted to crustaceans.
And evolutionists say that there are no groups of animals with traits from "unrelated" animals. God literally created a fish with crab legs. I will show this to my congregation. Can't believe how someone can still be an atheist after knowing what this fish is.
They're not literal crab legs dummy. Also I thought it was usually creationists that say an animal cannot gain traits outside of its "kind"?
obvious bait doesn't deserve a reply
>what is carcinisation
A reddit-tier meme
Or the fact that being a flat frick with crawling legs is one of the best bodyplans for a ocean dwelling creature?
>God literally created a fish with crab legs.
Actually loose, strengthened fin rays.
Crab legs are way more complex (they have joints).
Inspiration to Junji Ito Gyo?
Nah man the crab grew a fish
When you remove them whole from the sediment they look "normal", if you toss a horse in dirt and then cut it in half it looks weird too.
forbidden mango candy
But the 'rock' thing they're in is part of the organism, isn't it?
I imagine in the same way a snail or hermit crabs shell is.
It's their solidified, crusty shit so kinda
Please stop doing that to horses.
no, i WILL split your horse in two no i will NOT explain myself
and there he goes...
NEVER
is he ok??

>troony rock
>is actually edible and tasty
>you can suck his juicy meat in order to be healthy and refreshed
What did God mean by this
He came to me in a dream and told me to tell you you're coping pretty hard right now and WNBAW
I'm chilean... this thing barely qualifies as edible. More like some shit people had to eat to get by and remains as 'food' for cultural reasons. From the few people I know that have tried it, everyone says it tastes horrible
homosexual zoomer, it's tasty. You probably only eat mass produced corn syrup imported from gringoland
>I enjoy eating garbage tasting animals because...b-because I just do ok!
Get a load of this guy! He knows what garbage animals taste like! LMFAO!
what a massive cuck, its just pathetic when a chilean doesnt like seafood, pathetic and gay
he meant that OP is a homosexual
So one day some stupid animal just decided to become a troony rock and shoot jizz all day? Really? It just """evolved""" to do that? Come one atheists do you REALLY think we're going to fall for this shit?
Well, the alternative is that God decided that some animal should become a troony rock and shoot jizz all day. You decide which is more offensive.
Anyway, for me it's these amoeba who live off of algae by literally sucking the contents out of the cell walls. They're called Vampyrella, fittingly enough.
The evolutionary path that led to these guys must have been an odd one.
The microbial world is insane. Life gets weird when you can count by eye all the cells that make up an organism.
The fact they may be an efficient predator thanks to the barrel eyes still makes me wide eyed, didn't think of the funny fish as the potential rave party krill killer
Really good book by m chrichton called micro. Humans are shrunk to about half an inch in size and dumped in Hawaii. The part when a spider catches and eats one of them is particularly unsettling.
Micro is great, I think that was the last book he was working on when he died. Love the part where they boil a drop of water in an instant for some soup lol.
BADASS
pic related is the "gum-leaf skeletonizer" which wears a towering hat of caterpillar skulls.
>Micro
How do they handle the dense-as-a-dead-star problem?
you described all corals and tunicates, and barnacles, yet we don't go ewww so weird when thinking of that.
What makes this thing different?
He just wanted to cry about trannies, it’s a genuine mental disorder
Do you think god is too stupid to create long term evolutionary planning?
Something about this creature disturbs me. I don't mind poisonous spiders or centipedes, but this thing...I dunno. Creepy.
it's okay to fear the cum rock anon
They're fascinating. Maybe you're the creepy one.
tf do you mean it literally looks like a bunch of open mouths screaming in agony
This photo shows it after being cut in half. You'd look weird too after such a procedure.
Stick your dick in it!
