[QUOTE=booster;16100260]But what can it do :(?[/QUOTE]
Yeah... I am trying to put in creatures/plants that are specifically unique in one way or another.
We used to have a Peregrine Falcon in our back garden.
I shit you not.
Because of my dad's job we always had weird animals lurking about our house for intermittent periods of time, and at one stage we had one of these bad boys in a bird cage in our garden.
Other odd animals that have been in my house: bats, badgers, hedgehogs, tropical parrots, snakes etc.
On a bit of a tangent, I was also with him when he was hunting down a wild cat with the police.
great now i feel like taking a shower in disinfectant and rubbing alcohol

Wow your dad must have an awesome job. Is he some kind of vet or something?
where can i buy the monkey cup?
God I've seen the bot flies before and they're fucking sick.
Great thread, Animals are awesome.
The first picture for the camel spider bite is from a brown recluse spider actually.

Megalopyge opercularis or "pussy caterpillar"
that caterpillar's fur is highly poisonous when touched even slightly.
description of what happened:
[quote]Within minutes or hours of the sting event, a halo of reddened skin, caused by capillary congestion, forms. The reddened tissue is locally sensitive, painful, and warm or hot to the touch. The skin remains reddened but otherwise unmarked for minutes or hours. As the local redness subsides, a pattern of darker, raised, nodular lesions forms, usually within 24 hours after the sting. These darker lesions are arranged in a characteristic pattern.[/quote]

Snapping effect
The snapping shrimp competes with much larger animals, like the Sperm Whale and Beluga Whale, for the title of 'loudest animal in the sea'. The shrimp snaps a specialized claw shut to create a cavitation bubble that generates acoustic pressures of up to 80 kPa at a distance of 4 cm from the claw. The pressure is strong enough to kill small fish.[7] It corresponds to a zero to peak pressure level of 218 decibels relative to one micropascal (dB re 1 μPa), equivalent to a zero to peak source level of 190 dB re 1 μPa at the standard reference distance of 1 m. Au and Banks measured peak to peak source levels between 185 and 190 dB re 1 μPa at 1 m, depending on the size of the claw.[8] Similar values are reported by Ferguson and Cleary.[9] The duration of the click is less than 1 millisecond.
The snap can also produce sonoluminescence from the collapsing cavitation bubble. As it collapses, the cavitation bubble reaches temperatures of over 5,000 K (5,273.15 degree Celsius).[10] A quick comparison: the surface temperature of the sun is estimated to be around 5,778 K. The light is of lower intensity than the light produced by typical sonoluminescence and is not visible to the naked eye. It is most likely a by-product of the shock wave with no biological significance. However, it was the first known instance of an animal producing light by this effect. It has subsequently been discovered that another group of crustaceans, the mantis shrimp, contains species whose club-like forelimbs can strike so quickly and with such force as to induce sonoluminescent cavitation bubbles upon impact.[11]
