I mean they’re only weird because we’re not used to them, giraffes, narwals and sea-urchins are pretty weird as well.
Not to mention something like the platypus
Even snakes are bizarre. We have a creature with no limbs, just a very dangerous head and a potentially very dangerous body, and it uses its skin to move. And they can eat things whole which are several times the size of their head. Seriously, wtf.
Oh and even better, they range in size from adorable little worms to big enough to eat a human whole. And what kind of exercise do constrictors even do to get strong enough to suffocate something that outweighs it??
Even weirder is that snakes evolved from critters with legs, and multiple times independently. They were like “legs? We don’t need no stinking legs.”
Oh, how about those furless apes? I heard their offsprings have to be supervised ALL THE TIME for several years or they might kill themselves by accident. Crazy!
Edit: Shit I misread that comment.
Just think of the Cambrian as Life being roughly a multiplayer Spore-like game doing an open alpha test or an early access release.
They look like an average Spore creation. We have sword meatloaf, spiky hotdog, spaghetti mouth, and Bob.
Spore should sue for copyright infringement!
The first picture is actually just an ancient router.
Anomalocaris means “weird shrimp” so I get the feeling the Cambrian freaks out the nerds sometimes, too.
My favorite ancient critter (actually pre-Cambrian) is Omnidont which means “all teeth”.
Wiwaxia, Hallucigenia, Tully Monster and Anomalocaris if anyone’s wondering
It’s not a phase mom
Well someone hasn’t played Spore.
These just look like normal deep sea creatures. Ever see those videos with the marine biologists talking while they explore the deep with an unmanned submarine? They find weird shit like this all the time.
It’s just a phase mom!
