TOPIC | Ugly critter appreciation!
@Xionahri Pfft dang. Got me. P: Ahhh, they're both cute to me though. I talked to some old dude who thought that both species were going to make a comeback but look like plastic/garbage because they would adapt to a new habitat in the big old Trash Heap in the ocean. It would be pretty nifty. Yes, I've played fire emblem. I'm a rather new-ish (Radiant Dawn) player, but I have been attempting to play backwards or at least know the story behind the older games. YEaaaaah the manaketes were so cuteeeee; I loved Tiki's manakete design. EUGH LAND SLUGS. I actually don't like em but they sure do seem to love me! As in, I would go in the grass as a child and then end up with either a blackish big ol slug or a small white slug on me! >:L I did not like them, freaked out a little, and was grossed out as a child. I didn't like the slimy-ness, which is really funny because I don't mind it with fish! My favorite vulture is probably the Egyptian vulture: [img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/Neophron_percnopterus_-_01.jpg[/img] (look how cute that faceeeee) I do like secretary birds and bearded vultures tho. :000 Pretty @CanidSerpent Ah, really? What kind do you keep? I kinda... started collecting them so I have: Hifin green phantom, two blue phantoms, a vampire pleco, an inspector pleco, a para pleco, a columbian zebra pleco, a red sternella, and two longfin albino ancistrus sp. xD too many @Foenixie As much as I am ok-ish with spiders I would not want that on me!!! Will gladly admire from afar/in pictures :'D I hate being sort of afraid of them and I get worried that if I freak out they'll bite me. @StarlightAurora As someone who wants/wanted to keep axolotls in the home aquarium, they are actually not that hard. They need at least 20gals (dont know L) for a full-grown one and don't require equipment like heaters or chillers or, sometimes, filters (but the downside is you need aeration and very frequent cleaning probably). You could probably find an aquarium that size for $20. Some people will even give you the filters or whatever equipment they had for free or for a small price. But if space is the issue, I can't really help there. My issue for keeping axolotls is my mother. She absolutely will NOT let me have another aquarium! >:I I only have like... 4... (40g, 30g, 20g long, and a 300g)...

I don't think of any critters as ugly! I think the ones posted here are cool and interesting. I'm here to introduce you to the glorious purple frog. [img]http://i.imgur.com/27DXphL.jpg[/img]

@FalconRex121 Yes. Vultures. I wanna shine light on proboscis monkeys here. In German they're called "nose monkey" which is a much better name I think! Also squidward nose. I always liked monkeys they're all amazing and so human :3 [img]http://de.wallpapersma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Nasenaffe.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.monkeyworlds.com/wp-content/uploads/Proboscis-Monkey_624.jpg[/img] I just discovered the titicaca water frog. Their derpy faces kinda remind me of pugs :D [img]http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4020/5077247542_f2a47af9a0.jpg[/img] Also elephant seals. They honestly look like they're having the time of their life.

@deerpilot Ohh, olms are pretty cool. I like how they adapted to caves so much that they completly lack eyes. That and the worm-like appearance make me like them more than axolotls. But those are sweet, too. @Nekrom Oh my, that thing is absolutly precious! I need hundreds of them! It's even derpier than the glorious blobfish. D'awww. <3 @Lolschen Nasenaffen! For soem reason, that picture reminds me of this, though: [img]http://pokewiki.de/images/0/04/Anime-Artwork_097.png[/img]

I don't think I've ever thought of an animal as ugly! Sure some look kind of creepy, but even the parasites I don't like aren't ugly to me. They fit their environment and that makes all animals really interesting to look at.

On mobile but can't post pictures, but velvet worms are pretty cool, alonge with so many invertebrates. They don't get enought love.

And even though they're not animals, organisms in the protist kingdom as are insanely diverse and awesome and some are beautiful and some are cool but like none are ugly. XD

@SloaneStone
Spyinx cats are seriously adorable and I really want to meet one!

@Necrotic

So that's what they are! I found a female one over the weekend but couldn't identify it, glad I hadn't touched it even though I was tempted. I'd never seen one before.

I think vultures and bats are cute too, but since people have mentioned them already, how about rhinos? I mean, they're not really ugly, but they're definitely not the prettiest animal around. I've always loved them though, and I think they can be quite cute!
