Weird Creatures

You really don’t have to look beyond our everyday lives to find the mysterious and the weird.  Case in point - the World’s 25 Weirdest Animals.  Some totally bizarre creatures…but all real…all known to science…all living right here with us.

The Mysterious Earth favorite?  The Dumbo Octopus - has a definite Pokemon vibe!

Make Your Own Flying Rods

Flying rods are one of those subjects that really make us raise our eyebrows. Sure, we’ve mentioned flying rods a few times in the past, but this article is way over the top.

Jose Escamilla is pretty much “Mr. Flying Rods” - and apparently he’s done quite well for himself filming flying rods. So this Brazilian named Zefrom sets out to duplicate Escamilla’s methods to see if he can capture these “animals” on video for himself.

The result? You guessed it - flying rods everywhere! Well, tell you what…take your video camera and point it in the direction of the sun…but make sure that the overhang of a roof obscures the direct beams of the sun.

Now film.

You see the flying rods?

Bet you do!

Ipso facto - flying rods are real “animals” - no way they are dust particles, etc…NO WAY!

Chupacabra? NOT!!

A few days ago we let you know about an alleged chupacabra found in south Texas.

Our extremely educated speculation led to the conclusion that the creature was simply a mangy coyote.

Well, close…but no cigar. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission say the thing is simply a fox with skin parasites.

John Young, a mammologist with Texas Parks and Wildlife recently examined the remains of the strange beast and stated that the animal is not a chupacabra or coyote but it is, in fact, a sickly gray fox with a typical case of parasites.

Coyote…fox…hell, we were close!
