Chicken.

Henrik · 11-26-2008, 07:23 AM

Scary as fuck, reminds me of some Lovecraftian creature, almost Cthulhu-like.

The Midnight Rider · 11-26-2008, 07:24 AM

those "elbows" are weird as fuck...can't imagine what it needs those for, no doubt its something pretty rad though.

got some long-ass tentacles, too. i wonder how big it is?

Well, where do you think Lovecraft got his ideas? He hated seafood.

Why do I get the feeling we'll be experiencing The Mist by 2010?

I couldn't agree more.

dimensional_entity · 11-26-2008, 09:36 AM

Oh, that's the bigfin squid. I posted this same exact video a while back on a couple of other places, too. It's a really cool animal.

Moribund · 11-26-2008, 09:46 AM

That's crazy...

veshly · 11-26-2008, 10:17 AM

Wow, what a weird looking squid. Never seen something like that before.

Anyone ever hear of those massive deadly Japanese hornets?

Now those are fucking terrifying.

those things can fly 25 mph? fuuuuuuuuck that.

Mr.Bled · 11-26-2008, 01:27 PM

Isn't it wierd how we say humans are such angry and violent people!! Look around at the animal kingdom, we just use a more technical violence. It's all about survival of the fittest with all other species!! Could you imagine if humans ate children becuase they didn't like them!! haha

That squid is amazing just shows us we really don't know shit about our own earth.

Yeah, they have apparently been responsible for a few deaths, and a few cases of poisoning and blindness, since they can spit venom in your eyes...

It's pretty great how the honey bees have formed a method to kill them, though.

Defleshuary · 11-26-2008, 02:17 PM

You can't look at something like that and not think that one day the animal kingdom is going to fight back. Those bees are another prime example. Terrifying!!!

RobertsTheCoolest · 11-26-2008, 02:18 PM

I liked the drum'n'bass song in the hornet video

Refusal · 11-26-2008, 02:39 PM

Creepy, both vids.
