The weirdest creature on Earth




Image: Kenneth Catania
As if the North American Star-Nosed Mole wasn't weird enough; this functionally blind mole (Candylura cristata), which has twenty-two worm-like and independently movable tentacles growing out of its nose, has also apparently discovered the secret of being able to smell underwater. The main difficulty with underwater olfaction, unless you have gills, is of course trying not to inhale any water while sniftering around. Even mammals like whales and dolphins that have been living entirely submerged for millions of years are thought to be unable to perform the feat.

What Star-Nosed Moles, and possibly other semi-aquatic mammals seem to have figured out, is that they can use bubbles as a type of filter membrane to absorb surrounding smells. By rapidly inflating and deflating mucus bubbles from their nostrils, the various molecules which the mole is trying to identify will permeate the bubble filter so they can be ‘inhaled’ by the sense organs while liquid water is kept at bay .

After witnessing this bubble blowing behavior by moles, Kenneth Catania, a research biologist at Vanderbilt University, set up an experiment to test whether in fact the bubble-blowing was a means of detecting odors while underwater. To prove his hypothesis, he smeared a trail of earthworm goo on a sheet of plexiglass and submerged it in an aquarium. Then, to keep the mole from using its super tentacle nose from directly touch-sensing the earthworm trail, he separated the mole from the plexiglass using a wire mesh. When Star-Nosed Moles were introduced into the aquarium, they were able to follow the earthworm trail 85% of the time. They were also witnessed to be blowing and inhaling their nose bubbles at a very rapid pace similar to the speed that dogs and other mammals are known to breathe in and out when tracking a scent.
Ah, the wonders of the natural world.

Chironex Fleckeri



Chironex fleckeri is simply “The Deadliest Creature in the World.” This unique jellyfish is sixteen inches long and can be found in large swarms off the coast of Australia and throughout Southeast Asia. Its trailing tentacles hold thousands of nematocysts, microscopic stingers which inject the most powerful neurotoxin known today.

If there are any large dogs that are well known in the world, Zorba is probably one of them. Zorba is an English Mastiff from the UK that made the Guinness Book of World Records because of her massive size.

The English Mastiff is a large breed of dog with an excellent reputation from those who know of them. Many people are not familiar with the Mastiff breed, until they read about one of them being in the Guinness Book of World Records. They are a dog of great courage and dignity that walk with a sense of look of grandeur. They are good natured, calm, easygoing with a great sense of humor. Not only do adults love them, but they are wonderful with kids and easy to train if you follow the advice in training manuals such as the free free Matiff Breed Personality, Fitness & Care course.

They do not show a lot of affection openly, but they are very loyal and devoted to the entire family. Unlike some breeds that are "one man dog" that are loyal to one or two members of the family; the Mastiff seems to know who the family members are and are loyal to the whole family. They are protective of the family, especially with strangers. If a stranger comes to their home, often the Mastiff will place itself between his family and the stranger. They stay that way until their master gives some indication is the visitor is a friend or not. With their massive size, (many are over 200 pounds), there aren't very many people that would want to cross the boundary line without them allowing it.

There have been more then just Zorba that have made world records for being the largest or biggest dogs in the world. Zorba, however, still holds the record in the world for being the largest and longest dog ever to be recorded. He is presently not in the Guinness Book of World Records because he is deceased, but no one to this date has topped his size.

Zorba was over 343 pounds, measured 8 feet 3 inches long to his nose to his tail and stood 37 inches at the shoulder. He was recorded in the books as Aicama Zorba in November 1989 at the age of 8 years old. Chris Eraclides of London, England owned him. Even though, Zorba has passed away and he is no longer listed in the Guinness Book, he is still remembered fondly in the canine world. Deceased or not, there are many that still consider Zorba the greatest and largest dog ever, regardless of who is listed in the book.

Whales are mammals--they descended from large LAND-based water-loving creatures. This is a FISH.

And descendants You must mean ancestor.

sorry, hehehe yeah I know how whales evolved from land-base mammals, na intriga lng ko sa iyang gaping mouth..............that reminds me, basking sharks and whale do have enormous mouths, so this might be 1 of the ancestors of cartiligenous fishes I guess?
