The tapir’s nose and upper lip combine into a flexible snout like an elephant’s trunk. It can be used as a snorkel when the animal is underwater and as an effective tool to detect odors wafting through the dense forest. This prehensile mini-trunk (by elephant standards!) is used to grab branches and strip off the leaves or to help pluck fruit and put it directly in the tapir’s mouth. It also adds an air of mystery to the tapir—at first glance, it’s hard to tell just what this creature is! (photo: Debbie Beals)

Being tasted by a giant Pacific octopus… That’s the dream ;)
Not being able to get this ancient game to run on my computer anymore sucks, but being able to recreate, in some small way, the way it felt to play through this world and story as a kid, my first real run in with high fantasy stuff, feels rad, and is not something I used to think I’d be capable of, even if I have a long way yet to go.
So most people would’ve seen the “My love for you is like a truck” outtake from Berserk.
Did you know that there’s another outtake of the same scene?

Divers near Blaigowrie Pier, Port Phillip Bay, Australia, came across this bizarre scene of over 1,000 spider crabs crawling on top of one another to create some sort of creepy pyramid.
