Tapeworm wins! YAy! I think....
Now, which one has beeter camoflauge? http://www.kudalaut.com/biology/Hystrio.jpg A Sargassum Fish Vs. A Cuttlefish http://www.ticam.utexas.edu/~pgm/div...cuttlefish.jpg Fyis to help with your decisions. Sargassum fish have details that make them look EXACTLY like the Sargasso Seaweed they live in (they are related to Angler FIsh) Cuttlefish have Chromatophors, which are skin cells fille dwith color that are directly linked to their brain. they can change into color patterns more complex than a human can create, and can even change their skin texture to mimic their background. They are also at least as smart as a dog. |
s'true .. i was snorkling in Cuba an 3 of the goofy little buggers were swimming right along side of me .. the exact colour of the sand ... i just though thats what colour they were.
good eatin too ! |
Not only has the cuttlefish got the ability to camouflage by colour almost instantly, it can do so over multiple textures and surfaces, while moving.
Also, there is NO better mimic than the cuttlefish....well, not in the sea anyway. Stick insects and those thorn shaped moths/bugs that look like leaves n shit would probably be a close second, but none of them are remotely as "versatile"... This thing can immitate other fish in motion ,for fucks sake. No contest. |

Nope, they do a mean Jimmy Stewart, although their shatner is just like everyone elses.....

The "Third Rock from the Sun" episode where John Lithgow's character picks up William Shatner's character at the airport was priceless. Shatner character is drunk and tells Lithgow that he thought he saw something on the wing.
|
That is funny. Too bad i never watched that show.
its kind o flike the Mad about you episode where everyone watched Aliens, then asked paul eiser if he had seen it and he said "Nope" |

I love that show, still watch reruns all the time:) |

Cuttlefish wins!
Now, which one is meaner: http://www.badgers.org.uk/badgerpage...livora-01a.jpg A honey Badger Vs. A wolverine http://www.turtletrack.org/Issues02/.../wolverine.jpg Dont let the fact that they are cute fool you, these are two of the most vicious creatures on earth. |
.....
|
i'd have to say the wolverine
|
Wolverine is winning so far.
Honey Badgers have the reputaion of having the foulest mood in the animal kingdom (they would have the foulest mood of any Lifeform, but turnips can be pretty pissy....) But i watched a thing on Animal planet where they said a wolverine took down a fucking bull moose! i killed a cow moose, but that took my whole fucking car to do.... |
I would say Wolverine.

Its is actually tied directly to why they are so mean.
They are from Africa, and they are basically why Africanized and African bees are so hair-trigger psychotic. Honey badgers are godamn honey nuts anmd will endure thousands of stings to get to it. plus they are more or less immune to stings. |
:eek: Is it just me, or do they look almost identical? eh, Wolverine sounds meaner.
