It’s time to look back at the justifiably weird, grossest, oddest, mysterious and merely most captivating weirdest story to formulate the headlines last 2012.
Slime Has Memory But No Brain
Slime molds have evolved a manner of remembering anywhere
they've been it leaves behind a trail of slime in all places it goes, which it
can then identify later to distinguish areas it has already been.
Pacu, The Testicle-Eating Fish
What's captivating about the so-called "testicle-eating fish" is that its teeth look a lot like those of humans it may not be as huge as jaws, but for men it can be just as alarming.
Venus, The Two-Faced Cat
The feline’s visage is flawlessly divided in two – one side is jet black whereas the other is calico. And, as if this wasn't enough, her eyes are dissimilar colors too – one is ice blue, the other is green.
Osedax, Zombie Worms
Scientists have discovered Osedax, a tiny bone-devouring
zombie worms, have the distinctive capability to discharge bone-melting acid. The
females release an acid that helps them consume and reside in dead whale
skeletons for the reason that they eat the collagen and fat from the bones.
Illacme Plenipes, Mythical Millipede
It lives underground and has uses it several legs for clinging to the rocks it lives on. Until lately, it gain a mythical status for the reason that it was first seen in 1926, but was not rediscovered until 2005.
Pelodiscus Sinensis, Mouth Urinating Turtle
This strange ability might have helped them invade briny environments, exquisitely adapted to their aquatic lifestyle, sitting with satisfaction on the base of salty mud-covered swamps or snorkeling at the exterior to breathe
Paedocypris Progenetica, Smallest Fish
The miniature, slightly transparent fish have the form of larvae and have a reduced head skeleton which leaves the brain entirely vulnerable, not only it is the tiniest fish in the world, but it is as well the smallest vertebrate or back boned animal in the whole world!
Paedophryne Amauensis, Tiniest Frog
The tiny frog sits effortlessly on a US dime, whose breadth is 18mm; their miniature limbs are rendered translucent, they are well disguised in the middle of leaves on the forest ground, and have evolved calls similar to those of insects, making them hard to see.
Rare Maned Lionesses
If a lion mother had unusually high androgens throughout pregnancy, her female brood may end up “masculinized”—a condition that occurs intermittently in people but which is seldom observed in wild animals.
Phallostethus, Genitalia Head Fish
Their copulatory organ is at the rear of their mouths, for an additional thing, head-to-head mating is apparently a very proficient way to do it.
Tasmanian Echidna, Four-Headed Genitals
The cause why the echidna’s penis has four heads is still unknown. The female has two love canals and believes that the penis works like a dual double-barrelled shotgun, firing out of the two heads on one side, and then again quite quickly on the other. Given the fact Mr. Echidna has no thought which part his lady’s egg will be released this may boost his probability of fertilization.
Giant Mysterious Eyeball
Experts on site and remotely have viewed and analyzed the eye, and based on its color, size and composition, along with the existence of bone around it, we believe the eye came from a swordfish,' said Joan Herrera, curator of collections at the FWC’s Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in St. Petersburg.
