The 100 Most Fascinatingly Disgusting Members Of The Animal Kindom

Surinam toad is way the worst, reminds me of Gulliver's Travels and that description of the Brobdingnagian woman's breast tumour.

Not sure if this was posted here yet, but ew.

that would be a great candidate for the 'guile theme goes with everything' meme, right when he pulls out of his old shell

thinking of Ziggy Stardust actually

D-:

why why why.

I have to lodge my vote for the humble possum. Not as disgusting as others on this thread but, ugh god i hate these things so so much.

I totally feel this post. These are nasty, horrible things only made worse by the fact that if you catch them running across a sidewalk, you might well mistake them for a kitty cat. (Though if you get rabies, you're still kind of a moron -- you shouldn't be approaching feral kitty cats, either.)

The opossum is the one animal that I was familiar with in the south that I was surprised to see in the north. There's no armadillos up here, no marauding raccoons, certainly no deer. But there's still opossums.

Chicago is home to marauding raccoons. Ask Jesse.

upon further reflection, I have decided that the naked mole rat bears a striking resemblance to the Vietnamese summer roll

Such a comparison casts a suspicious light on that little puddle of dipping sauce...

That swiss cheese carrier toad thing still gives me the cereaming abdabs, especially as it looks like it's made from that disgusting green foam that florists use.

*screaming abdabs (tm)

Perhaps you are trypophobic.

Where skin is involved, hell yeah

naked mole rats are awesome - they can chew through just about anything!

Pretty sure I'm gonna have nightmares about a girl with a spider merkin now. Thanks.

fukken surinam toad

Male water strider is morally disgusting.

the worst part of that article:

In other insects, where females have evolved an upper hand in the war of the sexes, males have developed even more extreme counter-strategies. Look no further than the common bedbug – the male bypasses the female’s genitals altogether and stabs his sharp penis straight into the female’s back, a technique known appropriately as traumatic insemination.

cf isabella rosselini's 'seduce me'

blech. Oh my AYE AYES.

The parasite then replaces the fish’s tongue by attaching its own body to the muscles of the tongue stub...

omg I'm so freaked out by this and yet can't stop looking at it

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

btw this thing is affectionately known as the "bleeding tooth fungus" which is pretty awes imo

ugh...that gave me goosebumps.

http://i.livescience.com/images/061128_bat_face_02.jpg

I know. I'm itching all over. SO GROSS.

And people wonder why I don't eat mushrooms....

i keep looking at it and its making me feel like i have to throw up.

I seriously think I just broke out in hives.

or you sprouted a bleeding fungus.

Doesn't bother me too turrible as long as I don't think of it as a foodstuff. Entire fungal family/kingdom/phyllum/etc ruled out for me, forever.

lol xp

NOoooooooooo don't say that! ;_;

Chris you might have the same Triptophobia thing we talked about upthread. I think the mushroom might even be worse than the surinam toad for me tbh.

i think i have that. god, im feeling like im going to lose my lunch.
