It's a Pygmy Jerboa, the world's smallest rodent. It's totally adorable and looks like it came straight out of the Henson Creature Workshop.
Can anyone identify what species this creature is? It's clearly pretty evil, but it also appears to be tame. Is it some kind of domestic elephant?
I have been puzzling over this animal oddity all afternoon. Is this a turtle displaced from its shell, or has a snake somehow inserted itself into a turtle, or did I miss a really crucial biology class at some point? I am opening this one up to the audience; please inform.
A brightly-coloured fish which bounces along the seabed has been hailed as a new species by scientists, who have dubbed it “psychedelica”.
Whatever this creature is, it may or may not be crossing a road in your vicinity. Be alert.
Who would have thought it was possible? A real live spider that's actually cute. To be fair, it's still scary as all hell and probably full of evil intentions, but somehow it manages to be totally precious at the same time! I'm going to have some positively adorable nightmares tonight.
A Japanese game/talk show that involves the careful placement of treats. It's not cruelty because at the end there are snacks! This is a widely accepted definition of non-cruelty. In the case of the second woman and her Shiba Inu, there are 300 fluorescent Milkbones.
Meet Vincent (named for Van Gogh), the rabbit with no ears. Fret not: he is otherwise perfectly physically healthy. However, the fact that his mother might have bitten off his ears doesn't bode well for his mental health.
Science Buzz In honor of the 1,000, primarily creepy new species that were discovered in the Greater Mekong this week, let's create a collection of the scariest-looking animals of all time. If you need an antidote after you've put in some hard time building this collection, just type in “kittens” in the search bar at the top of the page and that should sort you out. In the meantime, upload an image below of your nomination for the world's creepiest animal.
Science Buzz More than 1,000 new species have been discovered in the Greater Mekong, including a dragon millipede and a spider “as big as a dinner plate.” They are all equally freaky and wondrous, but the Heteropoda dagmarae will haunt me for decades.

A blog that tells cute animals what's what. “Hippo charm is a fucking joke,” everyone. You heard it here first.
This is definitely one of the weirdest dogs I've ever seen. What the heck is going on here?! Here's what: if you took Heath Ledger's impersonation of the Joker, zapped him with a dog-morphing ray gun and pressed fast forward, you'd end up with something like this animal. I also think I heard “Turn me on, dead man” in there somewhere…
This tiny shrimp can make a sound louder than the sonic boom. Factoid: When two rival pistol shrimp meet, they snap at each other from a distance. The goal is not to hurt each other but see who makes the biggest bang.
Gothamist has a timely collection of Animal-Meets-Pumpkin videos. This one is by far the grossest. It’s like the octopus is swallowing the pumpkin.
This sheep is blue, but sheep should probably be some shade of off-white or brown. Check the responses for more miss-colored living things (or add your own).
