Also the Tarsier

Apprently they die, they commit suicide when they are stressed. So it's best not to approached these tiny primates

I think they are beautiful. So unique, just show the many many variations out there in the nature. Much more interesting are characteristics of these animals. Like for example, that mantis shrimp can really pack a punch and has an amazing eyesight.

They are endangered unfortunately. :(

[BrownBoyBrownies]

@RainbowFanGirl Yeah and also very rare.

The Peacock Spider is pretty amazing, too.

When I was studying biology in college a few years ago, one of my professors was an expert on Tardigrades (or water bears, as they are also called). She pretty much devoted her life to researching them.

[MandyRuth]

Its myTake, not your take so, like, I don't care? Like.

[MandyRuth]

That was a joke by the way

[bcromartie]

Genuine question: Why did you become an editor? What fueled that choice?

[MindYourEyes]

"And in case that's not enough to fuel your nightmares.." XD perfect way to end it Hahaha!. They look kind of cool but creepy too.

I knew a good amount of those lived, but it's a good thing I don't ever meet most or they would go NIGHT NIGHT asap!

[Zorax]

I knew about most of them, only The Red-Lipped Batfish, Penis Fish and Yeti Crab were unknown to me... excellent Take :D

[electromagnetic]

The Tardigrade got me all kind of offed up. What on earth.

[spoonman2014]

What scares me about the ocean creatures is the fact that about 90% of the ocean is undiscovered so imagine what else could be down there...

I've seen these pics all over the Internet, & no lie I get a little moist every time I see the penis fish lol! Jk just wanted to be like the guys commenting mainly on the penis fish 😃

[Octavius]

I've known about anglerfish.

I also know the tardigrade. Allegedly they could survive in outerspace.
