Among the very many I
came across.... I am mentioning the Hulk, the Mystique (from x-men) and
the Superman of the animal kingdom.
The Mimic Octopus - One of the smarter species living underwater. this octopus has the ability and intelligence to change it's look depending on what it thinks will scare it's attacker. Reminded me of a chameleon and somewhat of a Boggart from the Harry Potter books. It is currently known to be able to look like 15 separate species.
The Mantis Shrimp - It has one of the most unique biology among living creatures. Beginning with its eyes, it can see 12 wavelengths compared to the human eye which can see only 3. The second most fascinating thing about them is how they hunt their pray. They are known to have the fastest punch in the world, which can be compared to a 22 caliber bullet.
The Tardigrade - A microscopic creature that is known to survive all extremes of temperatures and pressures. Also known as 'water bear'. The biggest size they reach is about 1.5mm. When it does not get any sustenance, the tardigrades simply retract into themselves and wait out the unfriendly conditions. They can wait for over a century. Just another example of natures ability to provide creatures with their best chance of survival.
