 Re: nature has crazy monsters

This prehistoric shark rose to the surface right before it died. Some cool video on youtube about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mneDhOtVEQw

 Re: nature has crazy monsters
I used to have axolotls. Love them. Those mantis shrimp can kill fish tanks when they get big enough. They have this super-strong rapid-fire snapping action with the front claws that can crack aquarium glass. One of my favorite creatures:  (I think it's a small garbage can, but they do tend to be big crabs.)

 Re: nature has crazy monsters
I think Yamomark is influenced a lot by these sorts of creatures. That crazy fish especially.

 Re: nature has crazy monsters
vampyroteuthis saw this on an episode of planet earth. this photo doesn't really do it justice. Basically at the end of each tentacle it has a glowing orb that it uses to fool it's enemy/prey.
