Not super-appropriate for this thread, in that the animals aren't especially weird, but I liked this story full of videos of (mostly) Australian wildlife attacking drones, and needed to share it: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/aug/13/eagle-attacking-drone-mid-air-animals-averse-uavs?CMP=ema_632

Well, there are two anthologies of his stuff called that - I think it might've been the Penguin one with Attila Sassy art, but I can't find a table of contents for that, so it might've been the other version. It's been like fifteen years since I read it and I don't have the book anymore, but it obviously made an impression.

I've been lusting after that Penguin book for a while, but it sells for about $200

There are three genders of midshipman fish: females, type I males, and type II males. Type I and type II males have different reproductive strategies, and can be distinguished from each other based on physical characteristics. Type I males are eight times larger in body mass, and have much larger vocal organs. Type II males’ reproductive organs are seven times the size of type I males. Female and type II male midshipman fish can be distinguished from each other by the female’s slightly larger size, and the type II male midshipman’s large reproductive organs.
