I personally find the deeps of the ocean where no human was there amazing and sinistrous. If you observe carefully, it feels like evolution froze or goes slower down there

Honestly when I made this thread it was more for stuff like this, not eagles or bears whatever. They're cool too, but we already know about them. These fish are like aliens or something and its just really cool to me
Jumping spiders are badass too

Awesome vision
[quote]Jumping spiders have very good vision centered in their anterior median eyes (AME). These eyes are able to create a focused image on the retina, which has up to four layers of receptor cells in it (Harland & Jackson, 2000). Physiological experiments have shown that they may have up to four different kinds of receptor cells, with different absorption spectra, giving them the possibility of up to tetrachromatic color vision, with sensitivity extending into the ultraviolet range[/quote]
And impressive hunting skills
[quote]...many species can leap onto prey on vertical or even on inverted surfaces...
...exhibit both varied innate hunting behavior and adaptive behavior to match the circumstances, and can stalk prey by devious routes that take them out of sight of the prey for considerable distances...[/quote]

The species Homo Sapiens is superior to every other single animal.
They also took over, and own this planet.
