A crowned lemur (eulemur coronatus) in Edinburgh Zoo. by Paul Bonugli
There are many reasons to avoid walking barefoot through the forests of Malaysia. Snakes, spiders, centipedes, incredibly poisonous frogs unknown to science (maybe they’ll name it after you, it’s first verified human victim!) and now this. A walking bundle of rusty tetanus.
The Spiky Grouse Grasshopper (Discotettix belzebuth) reaches less than an inch long and is presumably well suited to living camouflaged among leaf litter and bits of wood.
The fact that they could go equally unseen in a damp shed is pure coincidence, I’m sure.

The name translates to “Vampire squid from hell.” It is not a vampire or a squid, it is actually an octopus. The vampire squid releases bio-luminescent ‘ink’ when defending it self to confuse other animals. It also turns itself inside out when in danger.

The Blue Dragon - Glaucus atlanticus
… is a species of small, blue sea slug. This pelagic aeolid nudibranch floats upside down, using the surface tension of the water to stay up, and is carried along by the winds and ocean currents. The blue side of their body faces upwards, blending in with the blue of the water, while the grey side faces downwards, blending in with the silvery surface of the sea. G. atlanticus feeds on other pelagic creatures, including the Portuguese man o’ war.
