Title seems misleading and exaggerated. This doesn't change the fact that thing itself is rather interesting, though. And my two findings: Algae directly transferring products of photosynthesis to vertebrates, first time ever discovered. A snail which gets materials from hydrothermal vents and makes a metal armour out of them.
Maybe this is what will future palaeontologists propose when they will find cars? |

I think we are kind of diving away from the definition of weird... that pike would be something more like rare. And those crabs, despite their peculiar behaviour doesn't look weird either. I know i sound like a prick but when i made this topic i was thinking to be about weird looking animals ![]() I guess the crabs behaviour can count as weird i supposed...

I think they're weird enough. No offence, but sometimes I feel like your definition of "off-topic" is too strict.

Well, why should weird be limited to appearance? Behaviours can be just as strange, and as you never specified it was 'weird appearance only', I don't see how it's off-topicWeird is ambiguous anyway, one person's definition of weird is different to another's. You may not think so, but I think those Golden Pikes are weird thanks for sharing Furka!Edited by Okeanos, Apr 8 2014, 10:38 AM.

Oh i didn't meant that should be limited to appereances only. I my self i'm sure that i have posted animals with weird behaviours rather than weird looks. I just don't think a golden pike is a weird animal. It might be a rare variety but not "weird". To me it just doesn't fit the topic. I never said anything about the posts being off topic... Of course what is weird and what is not is rather subjective, but there is a common ground with what everyone can agree with i think. If we start posting here every rare color variety of animals that are for every species then anything that doesn't fit the prototype of an animal can be considered weird. I'm not attacking Furka in particular, i just think that showing color variants and or rare subspecies and variants of aniimals does not fit the subject of this topic. As for the crabs i already said the behaviour can be considered "weird" even if they look like regular crabs... although it doesn't seem weird to me personally.

There's no concrete definition of "weird", however. Ultimately members should be allowed to post about animals that they think are weird. |

Golden fishes aren't exactly new stuff, just look at golden tenches, rainbow trouts or the goldfish itself. The difference is that most of these are captive bred animals, while the pikes are born and grown in the wild, which IMO is weird, considering they would have more troubles not only to escape predators, but also at ambushing preys. |

And to me there is a difference between weird and rare, and you are mixing them. EDIT: this post was directed to CyborgIguana, not to Furka. Edited by Ignacio, Apr 8 2014, 11:45 AM.

First of all sorry about my previous posts... i wasn't in a very good mood that day tbh. You guys should be able to post whatever you consider weird to you. Like you said the deffinition of weird is not very strict. On-topic: don't know if this one has been posted before but is awesome! ![]() http://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/desert-rain-frog-dangerous-beast-or-adorable-squeaky-toy |
