lol...reply two months later....never knew this site had a forum or that you could sign up...the first one nearly gave me a heart attack, it was creepy but when I took a closer look it was kinda cute. I like the second one. Not ugly at all.

Perhaps the Humpback Chub?I confess I don't know much about it but I've heard it's endangered and it's a funny-looking fish. Here are a couple of links: http://waterknowledge.colostate.edu/humpback.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humpback_chub

Well, I think there both cute, but then again I think a lot of things are cute that many people seem to think are creepy (bats, spiders and the like)

My goal is to promote awareness of endangered species that wouldn't otherwise get noticed due to appearance or obscurity.

Hunter S. Slug

Much the same way I found the Astingy Leaf Chameleon, I was searching ARKive for some good invertebrates. I could probably spend a good month on animals picked solely from that section, but the two that stuck out the most were the Pondoland Cannibal Snail and the Snake Skin Hunter Slug1. Since I was having problems deciding which one to write about, I asked a friend who randomly picked the slug. Don’t worry… Continue

Paddlin' Madeline Home

Phantom Midge1 gave me a few good suggestions recently, but alas, neither the Yeti Crab nor the Zombie Worm are listed, whether or not they are actually in danger of becoming extinct. There are gobs of disgusting-looking deep-sea critters, but since so little is known about their populations and habits, there is not en… Continue

Karma Chameleon

All right, so this’ll be the second EUT in a row from Madagascar (and third total), but I saw this animal on ARKive1, and it was so cutely hideous (or hideously cute, I’m not sure), that it needed to be written about.

Secret Agent Bat

It’s been a bit since I’ve written about a mammal (actually, a month to the day) so I decided to raid the EDGE1 website, which deals with exceedingly endangered mammals, many of which are, unsurprisingly, small-rodent looking things, simply due to the large percentage of small-rodent looking mammals2 (those may come later). In this post, howev… Continue

Eye of the Tiger

I’ve been searching for more EUTs; rather, I’ve been searching for a new place to search for them. The Ohio list is all well and good, although a little small. I always worry that I won’t get enough information about the organism1. The IUCN Redlist has the opposite problem: it’s huge and I don’t know where to start looking. I’m starting to exhaust the… Continue
