im sorry but this beats you baby eating dingo this fucker bite through bones and fits into your handbag there is nothing better than the tasmanian devil

B3n · 11-05-2009, 6:02 PM

Probably either a wolverine or a tiger. Although a tasmanian devil would be pretty cool too... Perhaps a Kimona Dragon

I think that pet rocks are pretty bad-ass.
I mean, you don't have to feed them or clean up after them.
And you can hurl them at burglars.
Come on, what's not to like?

And it's loyal too! When was the last time you saw a poster on a telephone line saying "LOST ROCK" ?

The lion's mane jellyfish. Not only can it sting you, but it's immense. One reported sighting if you will (It was washed up on a beach) said it to be 36 metres long and the bell 2 metres across. Making it the biggest living thing. Fuck you, blue whale. Averaging 1 - 1.5M across and about 30M long, this is one bad-ass mofo. Pity it can't think very well. All we need now is this -- but a cubazoa. that means it can think - and is deadly as fuck.

Time for some Genetic Engineering. Irukandji Jellyfish + Lion's mane Jellyfish = deadliest living thing that has ever existed.

Ps. The irukanji jellyfish is also pretty cool, being about a metre long and 5 cm across, it can deliver a painful sting (rarely fatal) but will give you the Irukandji Syndrome. This can leave you in perpetual agony for 2 weeks with a sence of impending doom. A full dose of morphine barely takes the edge off. Who said sharks and pathetic dogs were all that bad? It's always the weak ones with the nastiest stings.

Hatzegopteryx (left)

It had a wingspan of a small plane and hunted smaller dinosaurs.

looks like half of the badass pets are extinct prehistoric species

Turtles eat Jelly Fish, that's why they choke on crisp packets, they think they are Jelly Fish and end up choking.

Crisp Packet> Turtle > Jelly Fish.

Meh, I dispute your pet's awesomeness.

Turtles get eaten by rodants or their shells pulled off by hunters. I don't see any hunters taking down jellyfish for shells. The fact of the matter is, they won't touch an Irukanji. Oh and... neither would a turtle. Unless it wants to die.

I always thought it would be cool to have a 10 inch giraffe.

Daedalus007 · 11-08-2009, 1:53 AM

Maybe my pet peeve isn't the coolest thing ever, but the Turritopsis nutricula has got to be:

IT NEVER FUCKING DIES.

I swear i saw this thing at the seaside the other day. The gulls are so damn big, you can never tell...

Fu_Manchu87 · 11-09-2009, 7:42 PM

Fucking OPOSSUMS!

Lets face it, When these little fucks aren't scattered across the street, they are vicious little assholes. If one of these has the potential to rip your nose off, then imagine what 5 or 6 of these guys would do if they where domesticated. Plus, They have opposable thumbs on their hind feet, so thats an added bonus.

Varsity · 11-10-2009, 1:44 AM

Fuck your Yank Opassums. BRUSHTAIL UP IN THIS BITCH.

elchileno74 · 11-10-2009, 2:10 AM

I changed my mind

An emperor penguin. Look at them, they're so bad ass. Even though they can't talk they're all saying, "Don't Fuck with me".

scythemantis · 11-10-2009, 12:26 PM

I own a scorpion, they're very docile and few species are dangerous.

Solifugids are more impressive arachnids, if not the most impressive. The term "camel spider" was made up in just the past few years and everything you hear about them being deadly, screaming demon parasites is a myth, but they do have the strongest jaws on Earth for their size, and one of the biggest appetites. Their fat sandworm-looking jaws are the same appendages as a scorpion's pincers, but modified to buzz through prey like a woodchipper.

The extremely long pedipalps (the frontmost "legs," actually another type of mouthpart) also have sticky pads on the end to snag victims.

Several people keep them and the consensus was always that they need to be fed constantly and only live a few months. It was more recently figured out that they're accustomed to going lengths of time without any food and they hibernate during the winter, so if you feed them sparingly they live for years (but will be MIA for a few months every year)

Someone isn't very familiar with the deep ocean, the highest concentration of life on our planet and it all looks like that.

Well, sorta. The infamous "blobfish" photo shows a fish taken out of its high-pressure habitat. It's saggy and ridiculous looking because it's a decompressed corpse. In the wild, blobfish look like fairly ordinary, boring fish, but the deep is also home to things like the gulper eel, black devil anglerfish, wolftrap fish and viperfish.

They have the most retarded looking tails on the north pole, though.

That is a geoduck, pronounced "gooey-duck," a type of bivalve that cannot fit back into its shell.

The Coelacanth

Coelacanths are perhaps the world's most famous 'living fossil'. Before a specimine turned up in 1938 as bycatch of a trawler from the indian ocean in a port in south africa, scientists thought fish like this had been extinct since the time of the dinosaurs. A second species, from Sulawesi, was discovered in 1999. The structure and action of the flexible lobe like pectoral and pelvic fins suggest a likely means by which four legged land mammals might have evolved from a fish ancestor. The fish appears to use them for propelling itself slowly over the sea floor. The fins support no weight, but their movement is similar to walking in quadrupeds. The second dorsal and anal fins are also lobate and are used for swimming, performing slow sculling movements. Coelacanths invest heavily in their young. The eggs are among the largest known for ovoviviparous fish, up to 10cm in diameter.

Also, there's a pokemon based on it, called Relicanth.

The Narwhal

Related to the beluga, the narwhal is famous for the single, long 'unicorn' tusk of an adult male. This is a modified tooth, which grows to a length of 2m or more, and has a pronounced left-hand spiral. The function of the tusk is not certain: It is extremely well supplied with nerve endings that make it sensitive to water temperature and pressure, but it is not clear why this sensitivity is not shared by females. Since narwhals are social animals, usually seen in small groups that sometimes associate in larger herds, the tusk may act as an indicator of male status - like the antlers of a deer, Both sexes take the same prey, often feeding at depth on bottom living invertebrates as well as fish taken in open water.

Don't know what the afforementioned beluga is? Google it, 'cause it isn't that awesome.

The ocean sunfish, Mola mola, or common mola is the heaviest bony fish in the world, with an average weight of about 2,200 pounds. The species is native to tropical and temperate waters around the globe.

I want one.

EDIT: sorry about the huge pic, I'll get another one.

EDIT: done

Tastychainsaws · 11-13-2009, 8:25 PM

What about Hippomotherfuckingpatumuses? Remember that faggy alligator someone posted? Well these cockmonglers can rip them in half, no I'm not exaggerating. I watched it on planet earth or something, a hippo waddles up to a little crock steals its zebra and quite literally rips him a new one.
