Star-nosed.

Dude. I was trying to find out if the critter in my previous post was a gopher or a groundhog (I think it's a gopher - and I think the dramatic hampster was probably a gopher too, although man do gophers, groundhogs, and prairie dogs look similar sometimes!), and I came across a critter I've never heard of, the Star-nosed Mole. Holy crap that thing is weird:



and awesome!:



Its nose, the wiki article says, develops unlike anything else found in the animal world - it buds out like a flower and then the pieces break free and spread like petals blooming. Ack!

Sea slugs.

Dude! Dude. I've progressed into obsessing over sea slugs.

There are endless varieties in gorgeous colors.

Why the hell didn't I study biology? I wanted to. I wanted to be a marine biologist. Was more fascinated with dolphins when I was younger, but I'm sure I would have found my perfect niche. I guess I just assumed it wasn't possible for me, since I'm bad at I hate math. I could research these forever and never get tired of looking at them:



( If you like yourself, you'll look at more here. )

This just barely scratches the surface of the beauty and variety. Nudibranches are just ONE TYPE of sea slug, and their variety alone is endless.

Do want.
