I have eaten more guinea pigs than I can remember now after seven months in Peru. Better than rabbit, not as good as chicken. lots of dark meat and little bones.

coconut crabs: i like them i just shudder to think about how if given the opportunity they would surely open up a baby's skull and casually help themselves to the brains

tbf it wouldn't actually help itself to the brains after opening up the baby's skull, it would call its buddy first
then they would divvy up and share.

What is the fish that looks a lot like the viperfish but has giant, almost opaque eyeballs that are a solid milky white? And kind of a more elongated head? I had a picture book as a kid with a giant full page photo of two of their faces and it was the "scare yourself by turning to it" page for sure.

Yeah - I basically don't like clustered patterns of holes found in fuman/animal flesh. I also HATE lotus seed pods. Weird, I know but they just revolt me.

^^^ already on here @ #4 but deserves reiterating: lamprey eels will fuck you up
also i saw someone mention loa loa & filarial worms are FUCKED UP (google @ yr own risk) but ill rep for roundworms specifically Ascaris lumbricoides:
Ascaris lumbricoides is the giant roundworm of human, belonging to the phylum Nematoda. It is an ascarid nematode responsible for the disease ascariasis in human. It is the largest and most common parasitic worm in humans. A quarter of human population is estimated to be infected by this parasite. Ascariasis is prevalent worldwide and more so in tropical and subtropical countries.
It can reach a length of up to 35 cm

I am the same way, esp about the lotus seed pods, and I didn't even know it was a thing! Every once in a while i have a really awful dream along these lines the specifics of which I will not divulge here, and even thinking about it makes me kind of queasy and disturbed feeling.
Also, I snortOLed at "spidermerkin.jpg."

I didn't know it was a thing either until a friend told me about how she felt that way and I realized that I wasn't alone! Even just getting a quick glance at some of the images when I googled it for quoting purposes earlier had me nearly crawling out of my skin. *shudder*

The team recorded footage of a female worm-like amphibian, called a caecilian, allowing her young to peel off and eat her skin.Scientists have only recently discovered this bizarre parental behaviour.The female caecilian's skin becomes thicker and more nutrient-rich when she bears offspring.And the young have specialised teeth for tearing and removing it.
