Freaky Fauna Friday

While Bob is not quite flora or fauna, this humongous honey fungus makes a special appearance on this episode of Freaky Fauna Friday!

These highly venomous marine reptiles have an undeserved reputation as being dangerous for extremely potent venom but are actually extremely curious and docile animals. Remember, next time you see an Olive Sea Snake, just redirect it and you'll both have a good time.

These mammals are endemic to Madagascar, they are the only mammals to use stridulation to communicate with each other, which is another form of echolocation. They can reproduce in the same season they are born.

Not only are these birds basically living dinosaurs, but they also lay gigantic eggs, are great pets, and are the only animal to ever win a national war.

These are some of the largest gliding mammals that exist. They are known to be very secretive, so when they are seen they are mistaken for little aliens or some other cryptid. Also, they have gliding membranes inside out in order to poop, and sometimes they get stuck.

We look at some scientifically hypothesized dinosaur sounds and whether or not they sound scary.

Not only are these giant rodents known for being big aquatic buses and being extremely friendly, but they are also quite tasty, and the Pope classified them as a fish.

On this episode Mr. E and Emily discuss the Dumbo Octopus that is unlike any other octopus that you may know. These cute little creatures are only cute in the water and live thousands to tens of thousands of feet in the deep ocean. So please take a deep deep dive with us and enjoy the Dumbo Octopus.

These amazing little animals are survivors and fast breeder, but they are a bad sign in your home!

Not only are these the largest turtle species and one of the largest living reptiles in the world, it is also the last living member of an ancient order that may explain how giant prehistoric marine reptiles survived. They dive to depths greater than any other reptile and unlike almost all reptiles, while not being truly warm blooded, they are able to maintain a stable body temperature.

Not only are these aquatic masters of electric manipulation, they are also very good talkers and listeners. Make sure you give these guys a wide berth in the dry season and remember they are not eels.....

This episode we dive into what is currently the largest documented Salamander in North America. Even though these snot otters are mighty, they still need your protection.

The North Sulawesi Babirusa, or “pig deer” is an astounding, prehistoric-looking animal from Indonesia. Rarely seen, but with an appearance impossible to forget, the adult males of this swine species sport some of the strangest (and least-functional) tusks in nature.

These little critters are often seen on the beach, they are the worlds largest single cell organism and they can get up to the size of a softball!

These beautiful shell-less snails are a must see for any ocean going explorer. But don't let their beauty fool you, for they are deadly predators to their chosen adversary the sea butterfly.

These tiny, indestructible beings are the foundation of complex life, the builders of environments, and have their own phylum slice in the pie of life.

Not only are these true monsters of the woods powerful but they can also be very intelligent. Be careful when you're in their territory because they are famous for starting to eat you while you're still alive.

This animal has been messing with paleontologists since its first discovery and the loss of the first known fossil in a bombing during World War 2.

These amazing little deep-sea fish are famous for their hyper evolved eyes and head structure!

These truly monstrous marine mega titans, despite their size are often very gentle and even friendly towards humans.

These crazy little critters are an afront to the rules of biological science. These creatures have figured out some way to remain truly immortal and science can't seem to figure it out.

The California Condor, while it may not have the largest wingspan, it is still one of the heaviest birds soaring through our skies. Unlike most other avian scavengers, these animals possess a neat trick where they can carry chunks or pieces of large animal carcasses back to their nesting sites.

We had a lot happen this week and where not able to get a FFF out to you, we apologize, and we will be back next week~!

While these squid may not be as large as their truly colossal cousins, they definitely make up for it with their extremely aggressive attitude.

Peaceful Mr. E and Jay take a minute to review all the new species discovered in the previous year, from the fastest rotating spiders to the legless lizard that will knock your socks off.
