Talk about a cool creature! The Venezuelan poodle moth photographed by Dr Arthur Anker. It’s almost like a fluffy gremlin before it gets hit by water. This creature speaks so much to my imagination, it could also a weird mammal withe the upper black line between its eyes being its mouth. I also can’t tell how big it is, so it could just be as big as a lamb or something. Pure awesome!

Pink Floyd shrimp

A new species of pistol shrimp doesn't live on the dark side of the moon, nor is it a lost soul swimming in a fishbowl.

Floating down, the sound resounds. Pistol shrimp Synalpheus pinkfloydi was named for prog-rock band Pink Floyd.
