Mini-blog 3: Strange Reality

*UPDATE 3/8/10: Fixed the links :P

Nature sure is weird. So weird in fact, sometimes I wonder just what the hell it's thinking as it invents these things.

*Apologies in advance, for some reason blogspot isn't letting me link to the sites I have here. Copy and paste the addresses for now :\

A bird with a smiley face.

What's possibly stranger is that it's name is Superb Bird of Paradise (though, that's a stupidity committed by humanity).

These plants look like they came straight out of Super Mario World.

Mega Cows

These cows have a naturally occurring mutation that gives them double the muscle.

This parasite gets in a fish's mouth, atrophies it, and replaces its tongue. No joke.....a parasite designed to straight up crawl into a fish's mouth and replace it's tongue....

This spider doesn't look too weird, now, right?

BUT, this particular species of spider reproduces basically through what we call "rape." This spider pierces the female's abdomen with its penis and impregnates her that way.


WTF Nature? What's wrong with you?

..cept maybe the muscle thing, that could be kinda cool.

  1. - Lol, I remember seeing that video!
    - That plant looks so much like VILEPLUME!!! Maybe they got the idea from the plant!
    - That's one fat ass cow... I didn't know they had all white cows. It's still cute though :)
    - If I saw that fish, I'd probably throw up
    - And if I saw that spider, I'd die... Eww I hate spiders even more, now that I know that they rape other spiders X_X
