Full Version: FUCKED UP ANIMAL thread
I want to compile some pictures of animals that are perfectly healthy, but evolved into something just freakish. Example:

I have a tiny antler hat that was originally from an Opus doll my sis had as a kid. I tried to put it on my bunny last Christmas to take a picture. He hated it. Never got the picture. Maybe I'll try again this year.

Goddamn, I want one of those. Or at least one that I can visit regularly.
I recently watched a documentary on one that lived on a farm in England. He had a bad knee that eventually gave out and he couldn't stand any more. The entire village worked together to build a giant sling to hold him upright so he wouldn't die while his knee was healing, but he died any way. Everyone in the village was there crying. Poor thing with his big, dumb eyes. I'm bumming myself out.

Researchers say they have evidence that giraffes smell bad to repel parasites.
Scientists at California’s Humboldt State University have found their skin contains a cocktail of antibiotics and repellents.
The team arrived at its conclusion by analysing hair from the neck and back of a zoo giraffe.
They identified several smelly chemicals that work to stunt the growth of fungi and bacteria on skin.
These included indole and 3-methylindole; the same chemical compounds that make faeces smell.

I take it you're not familiar with the early work of Peter Jackson.
QUOTE(Wikipedia)
The blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus [1]) is a deepwater fish rarely seen by humans. It is found along the shores of Australia and Tasmania.[2] Blobfish are made mostly of jelly. This jelly flesh weighs less than water, allowing them to float, and conserving energy otherwise spent in an attempt to stay off the sea floor. It is also an alternative to a gas-filled swim bladder, a feature of many fish in shallower water. At 800 metres deep, the pressure is about 80 times higher than at sea level, so any gas would be too compressed to serve the purpose. Their lack of muscles is no hindrance – they have a feeding strategy that consists of sitting and waiting for something edible to pass.

Can't forget the lamprey, or that tongue-replacing parasite...
I mean it, I can't forget them, although I'd really, really like to.
