Handsome Trig

Phyllopalpus pulchellus

Look at this handsome devil! Have you ever seen such colours? Such powerful, toned legs? Such a large, well-fashioned moustache?

Blue-ringed Octopus

Pretty, titchy, deadly. The Blue-ringed Octopous is like an elegant chocolate laced with cyanide, an ornate thimble full of plutonium or a small child who summons angry bears whenever she's tired.

Picasso Sponge 34

This Picasso Sponge depicts an eyeless face, complete with thick eyelashes and luscious lips, floating through the streets as the Invisible Woman struts around in nothing but her make up.

Weapontail

Hoplocercus spinosus

Also known as the Brazilian Spiny-tailed Lizard but that's way less fun!

Weapontails are fairly ordinary lizards from head to toe... but then there's that weapons-grade tail! Short, stubby and abominably spiky. Even their scientific name gets in on the act - Hoplocercus comes from the Greek for "armour" and "tail" while spinosus means "thorny". You got that right!

Weapontails live in dry habitats in parts of Brazil and Bolivia where they feast on insects and retire to underground burrows. When threatened, they run head first into those burrows and use their battle-butt to dissuade predators from poking their heads in.

It'd work on me!

Wingless Bat Fly

What happens when a FLY can't fly?

If it's a Wingless Bat Fly, they'll get a little help from a friend.

Did I say "friend"? I meant victim.

Pygmy Squid

The teeniest, tiniest tentacles of them all!

Picasso Sponge 32
