a spate of the strangest creatures I’ve ever seen appearing on the news and on various blogs. Just thought I’d highlight a few of them for you:

The best of the lot, in my opinion, is the fish with the transparent head (via Neatorama) which appeared in blogs last week. There is absolutely nothing cooler than something that has evolved a transparent head to see things above it. I love that evolution favours something so extravagant. Deep sea fish are always crazy though, as evidenced by this Science Ray post featuring 25 of the craziest you’ll find.

The glasswing butterfly is simply incredible. I couldn’t beleive that this thing existed and no-one had told me about it. Question: why haven’t other insects evolved this? It’s the perfect camouflage! (via the J-walk Blog)

And finally we have the fish that would rather use its fins as legs than swim. Plus it looks like an umbrella has been turned inside out and used as its face. Proving once again that the sea is the best place if you want to turn out some serious craziness from the primordial goop. (via me being interested in the news article on ABC1)
