Creppy Looking Animals #4-6

Continuing on with the previous post, here are animals #4 - 6 that look bat shit crazy scary, but are actually kind of cool.

4. The Pink Fairy Armadillo

If this doesn't make you say "What the fuck...?" I don't know what will. The name makes it sound flamboyant and possibly homosexual, but it does not look anything of the sort.


It. looks. like. a GIANT HAIRY COCKROACH. with claws. LARGE claws. It doesn't look pink, nor fairy-like. Maybe it's just a bad picture. Maybe.

These.... things... live in Argentina, among the cacti and the shrubbery, burying themselves in 5 seconds if they get freaked out. So basically if you walk by one, chances are you're not going to see it. And the Pink Fairy Armadillo is not the type of creature to suddenly leap out and attach itself to your face. That would be the Australian Funnel Web Spider. Which lives in Australia. Where you should never ever go. Ever.

Point is, these fairy armadillos only eat ants and ant larvae. So you don't have to worry about them trying to bite your arm off. Unless your arm looks like an ant.

5. The Aye Aye

The adults of this species look okay. They have fur, at least. The babies, however, look like they want to steal your soul. And your babies. And every single joyful thing in your world. It will do this just by looking at you.

I want your babies.

Soul sucking ability aside, the Aye Aye is actually quite clever. It hops around Madagascarian trees, knocking on the wood. Why, you ask? Well tapping lets it know where the grubs are, and grubs = yummy. Once it finds its meal, it gnaws a hole through the freakin wood, inserts its middle finger, and draws the bugs out. (Is it just me, or does this seem strangely sexual?) In addition to being clever, the Aye Aye is also the world's largest nocturnal primate.

The good news is that it doesn't really suck your soul. It might steal whatver coconuts or mangos you have lying around, but not your babies. Oh, and it grows into this:

Much better than that god forsaken hairless thing it started out as.

6. The Human Face Fish

I'm sure most of you have either heard of this fish or perhaps seen it somewhere. If you haven't, let it be known that its not just creepy, its also a little unsettling.


The eyes are actually not those dots on the front of the head, they're those weird lumps on the side. Still, that doesnt take away the impression that this human face on a fish is screaming every time it opens its mouth.

The good news though, is that it lives in Korea, in a pond, not in the wild. So you don't have to worry about encountering one while scuba diving and consequently having a heart attack. It will not eat you or try to mutilate your face. It will mostly just scare the crap out of you.

As for cool things it can do, there isn't any. Sorry. This one is just creepy. Harmless, but creepy.
