I'm intrigued by tardigraves (water bears). It's amazing that something smaller than a pinhead can look so like a bear! I learned of their existence from watching "Cosmos".

In the Philippines, we have the smallest monkey in the world. It is called the tarsier. The Philippine tarsier measures only about 85 to 160 mm (3.35 to 6.30 in) in height. You can find it on the island of Bohol and have your picture taken with a whole family of tarsiers. Too bad I'm not tech-savvy enough to attach a picture.
Good one!Image

The name of this creature is Pink-See Through Fantasia. It is a sea cucumber found in the Celebes Sea in the western Pacific.
It looks too delicate, and I just wonder how it survives like that. :roll2:

This is a great topic with all those awesome pictures! Thanks, Gravy, for showing everyone my tarsier. I can imagine that slug doing the Flamenco!

With all these strange creatures right here on Earth, what do we need aliens for?

The hammerhead shark is the strangest that I can think of. It just looks strange to me.

I think one of the strangest is the platypus. It looks like a beaver with the face of a duck.
