Unknown Sea Monster Found

A strange & unknown sea monster was discovered on a beach..somewhere. Is this a photo shopped picture or what is it exactly? 2013 has been the year of the sea creature as there have been so many dead carcasses making headlines in the news all around the world.


Mysterious Sea Creature Found


When examining the photo further, it looks pretty photo shopped. The guy that looks like he is picking it up doesn’t seem to align right with the photo after closer inspection. Even so, this thing had to come from somewhere, it is just a smaller species of weird fish that was blown up to make it look like a giant sea monster? Any guesses?

Vampire Animal - Sea Lamprey

Real vampiric creatures found in the Great Lakes have been destroying the native species that call these lakes their home. The sea lamprey have slowly invaded the great lakes and have adapted to their new fresh water environment as adults from the ocean wandered over looking for shallow waters to spawn.


Now the sea lampreys have been labeled as a serious threat as Canadians are taking measures to removed this invasive species from the waters in order to save their local wildlife from dying.


The Vampiric Sea Lamprey


Human vampires do not exist, at least according to modern science, although there are many Twilight & True Blood fans that may disagree. Real Vampiric animals do exist as there are several found in nature. Below are 5 real vampire animals that have been discovered on our planet.


5 Vampire Animals


The giant sea lamprey isn’t the only vampire animal, these blood sucking and in the case of the vampire finch “blood pecking” creatures love the taste of other’s red fluid. The only difference between these real vampires and the ones of myth and legend is that these vampire animals are all alive as undead animals do not exist on earth…. or do they?

Worlds Most Intelligent Animal - Mimic Octopus


Deep-Sea-Rarest-Mimic-Octopus

The Mimic Octopus



The mimic octopus is believed by some to be the most intelligent animal on our planet. This incredible sea creature like other octopus are able to change their color to blend into their environment. Octopus are known to blend into the sand, coral, and rocks to avoid predators on the sea floor.


The mimic octopus however, does something that no other octopus does! This amazing animal will actually change it’s shape and BEHAVIOR to clone or “mimic” other types of sea life. It does this to ward off other predators by pretending to be a different type of deadly fish.


Meet the Mimic Octopus



Is the mimic octopus really the most intelligent animal on the planet or is it just a coincidence that it’s able to look exactly like other deadly creatures to scare away predators?

Giant Crocodile Attacks Fisherman

Huge Croc Attack! A man fishing is caught, swallowed and eaten alive by a giant 2000 pound man-eating saltwater crocodile n a river in Sarawak, Malaysia in 2012. The huge crocodile is captured, killed and cut open to pull the man out.


This was just another crocodile attack in Sarawak, Malaysia.


Early in the morning a group of fishermen were using casting nets to catch fresh fish to sell the days market place when a giant 20 foot saltwater crocodile appeared of no where and snatched one of the younger fisherman as witnesses saw the massive croc swallow the teenager’s entire body and then disappear underneath the murky water.


Everyone was yelling and screaming as other groups of fishermen rush over to help with larger nets. It wasn’t the first time they’ve encountered these enormous saltwater crocs.


Amazingly, they were able to capture the beast and drag it to shore where they quickly flipped it over and cut open it’s stomach to attempt to rescue their fellow fisherman. A disturbing video was taken once they caught the crocodile and shows the man being removed from the crocodile’s stomach.


I put the link to this Raw Video footage below. I must warn you, it is quite disturbing.


The young man’s entire body was removed from the crocodile but it was too late. Even if the wounds were not fatal, the teen surely drowned while inside the monster’s stomach.


There have been a large increase in the number of crocodile related human deaths and attacks recently due in part to the hot weather, a decrease in food for the crocodiles and lower water levels. The river is a main resource for the villagers where they frequently bath and use it to make their living.


Last July, the authorities launched a mass killing operation with the police, the army and local authorities to hunt down the man-eating crocodiles to reduce the reptile’s population in the area. The target goal was 60 crocodiles over 9 feet in lengh.


While the villagers fear the crocodiles some believe that killing them will only make these worse, increasing the number of crocodiles attacks on their people.

Worlds Most Dangerous Snake to Humans! The Deadly Saw-Scaled Viper

Most dangerous snake towards humans! Extremely venomous and super aggressive, the deadly saw-scaled viper is responsible for the most human deaths in the world.


 


It is a fairly common snake found around The Northern Part of Africa all over Saudia Arabia, India and in parts of Southern Asia.


As known as the carpet viper, this deadly snake doesn’t think twice before it strikes as it uses it’s saw like scales to make a hissing sound when it feels threaten. The larger males can grow to almost 3 feet in length while their female counterpart’s venom is twice as strong.


This snake is nocturnal and often lives in close proximity to people. They are known to bury their bodies in sand, keeping itself hidden from the human eye.They are one of the few snakes that give birth to live young and rarely hibernate unless they are in colder climates.


If you live in an area or plan on visiting the part of the world where these snakes roam, listen carefully to the warning sounds they make, it could save your life.

Giant Squid Discovered in Spain

A sea monster washed up on shore straight out of a horror movie. This giant squid is real, measuring at 30 feet and 400 pounds! That’s 9 meters and 180 kilos for our non-American friends. This massive sea creature was dead when beach goers discovered it on the Spanish Beach of the Cantabria community on Tuesday, October 1st 2013.


Giant Squid Carcass Discovered on Beach


The giant squid is the 2nd largest invertebrate in the world, the biggest on the world being the colossal squid which is estimated to reach lengths of over 46 feet. The ocean is full of mystery as scientist rarely get a chance to study giant squids because they live so far beneath the surface. What other mysterious creatures live beyond our current knowledge?

World's Ugliest Animal - Blobfish

The ugliest animal in the world by official vote! The blobfish earns the world’s ugliest animal award. Ugly creature indeed, the blobfish is always in the top 10 ugliest animal lists and usually it’s number 1.


Everyone has been posting about this blobfish and it just happened to be voted the ugliest animal in the world today by the Ugly Animal Preservation Society.


It’s scientific name is Psychrolutes Marcidus


Discovered near Australia, The blob-fish lives so deep within the ocean that it’s flesh is like jelly because the water pressure is over 30 times higher than sea level. Just think of it like a very soft foot long tadpole.


This fish is almost muscle-less as it just kinda floats just above the ocean floor hoping food just happens to wander near it’s mouth. It has seemed to become a part of recent pop culture with all kinds of funny pictures and creations all over the internet.


Unfortunately like a lot rare animals, researchers are predicting that this fish could become endangered soon as they keep getting caught and dying in bottom trawling nets.


So do you guys agree this is the ugliest animal in the world or do you think there is something uglier?

Top 5 Largest Snake Species

There are some giant snakes that roam our planet, but do you know which snake species are the biggest of them all. These are the top 5 biggest snakes in the world.


It starts with the Burmese Python which is native to Southeast Asia and has an average life span of around 25 years. It grows up to 18 feet long and weights up to 250 pounds. One freak specimen was said to have weighed over 400 pounds and was measured at 27 feet from the Serpent Safari Park in Illinois. However, after the python died, the report was that it was only 18.1 feet, still a record for a Burmese Python at the time


The Burmese Python species has been setting record numbers and may not be at the 5th biggest snake species in the world for very long. In the Florida Everglades this snake species has taken over the Everglades and has destroyed, (eaten) 90% of all of the wildlife there. This invasive species is not native to Florida and has no predators and is straight dominating the eco-system.



Top 5 Biggest Snakes on Earth


Next on the list is the African Rock Python which weights up to 300 pounds, reaches lengths around 19-23 feet and lives and average life span of about 12 years. The Reticulated Python is in fact the longest living species of snake on our planet reaches lengths of 30-33 feet in the wild. They can weight up to 350 pounds and can be found all over Southeast Asia.


The Green Anaconda is the biggest living snake species by mass as it weighs up to 550 pounds and is the second longest only to the Retic. Green Anacondas terrorize large animals all over South America and love to spend most of its time in the rivers that run through it.


The Titanoboa is the biggest snake to EVER roam the earth. This prehistoric giant snake was believed to grow up to 43 feet in length and weigh upwards of 2,500 pounds. Their fossils have been found in South America and haven’t been a threat to wildlife for over 60 million years.

[Video] 2 Bigfoots Caught on Tape 2013

bigfoot sighting 2013 bradford octoberBradford, Pennsylvania. Two bigfoots were discovered in the Kinzua State Park when 57 year old John Stoneman took these images while he was driving with his girlfriend. John was quoted saying that he has never seen anything like this in the many years he has hiked through the woods. These could not have been bears and they were over 7 feet tall and stood there like human beings… or human hybrids and bears stand with their paws much differently than this. John claims to be a skeptic and seems convinced that this is finally a real bigfoot caught on tape.


Two Large Bigfoots October 2013


Is this the closest we have come to catching this mythological beast? The Sasquatch Genome Project aims to prove that bigfoot exists one way or another, we’ll just have to wait and see the outcome from the DNA tests.

Man Saves Grandson from Giant Snake Attack

Brazil has a lot of wildlife and wilderness with much undiscovered territory. Because of this, there are many untapped places where unknown animal species and very big creatures roam. One of those big creatures are giant snakes, particularly the green anaconda which is the largest and heaviest snake in the world.

The Green Anaconda



Unfortunately for this kid, he was able to experience one of these snakes in the wild for himself while playing near a creek bed. The giant anaconda ambushed the boy and nearly killed him before his grandfather arrived shortly after to find his grandson on the ground being swallowed by a massive snake.


Green anacondas are known for ambushing their prey near water beds, rivers, and creeks. They love the water and easily manure through this environment with very little fear of predators. Full grown green anacondas are known for eating crocodiles, deer, capybaras and sometimes cows.

Testicle Biting Fish with Human Teeth

Exotic giant piranhas have been turning up all over the world. These invasive species are called pacu fish and are originally from the Amazon river in South America. Because they look like piranha they have become a very popular aquarium pet around the world.


Unfortunately they grow really fast in captivity and require a fish tank of at least 500 gallons in order to keep them long term. These fish have been know to live over 20 years and can grow up to 3 feet long and weigh over 50 pounds. Because of this, pet owners have illegally been releasing them into local waters in America and Europe causing problems to the environment.


It’s illegal to do so in my places because these pacu fish are an invasive species, eating most of the local fish food supply and risking the safety of the wildlife in the northern rivers and lakes. These fish have recently been caught in Illinois, Denmark, Sweden, and this month in a river in Paris, France.


These worst part of all, is that they have been rumored to bite human testicles. Yes, you read it right, testicles. There have been rumors in both Brazil & Papua New Guinea that these river monsters have bitten off the testicles of several fisherman and swimmers unexpectedly all resulting in fatalities as these men all bleed to death before getting help.

Wierd Animal - Pignose Frog

The purple frog, otherwise known as the Indian purple frog, or pig-nose frog can be found in the Western Ghats in India.


The adult frog was formally discovered in 2003 by SD Biju and Franky Bossuyt, even though the tadpole had been described in 1918.


The frog is considered a living fossil with its closest relative in the Seychelles.


This relatededness suggests that their ancestors lived around 100 millions yars ago and adds to the evidence that Madagascar, the seychelles and India were once connected.


Shaped similarily to most frogs, it does have a more rounded body, with a small head and unusal pointed snout.


They are typicall dark in color, the males are about 1/3 the length of their female counterparts.


The frog spends most of its year underground only to surface during monsoon season for about two weeks for the sole purpose of mating.


Most burrowing frogs emerge to feed above ground, however the purple frog forages underground for termites usig its fluted tongue.


This reclusiveness may have aided in their survival of 4 mass extinctions


The purple frog is classified as endangered, is endemic to the Western Ghats, found primarily in Cardamom Hills of Kerala state and kattapana


Where loose, wet and aerated soil near ponds, ditches and streams a choice habitat for this once in a century find is abundant.
