scientist are planning on creating new types of animals using cloning, but they'll never even come close to mothernature, infact, mother nature created us just to laught at our pathetic attempt.

so lets all post the name of an awesome creature, and a reason why it's awesome

creature: Porcupine

reason for being awesome: it's got spikes sticking out of it's back.

seriously, evolution could have made it run faster or jump or anything to get away from predators, but no IT GAVE IT FREAKIN SPIKES ON IT'S BACK. Just try and touch it, you'll regret it.



PS: if you don't set it up just like I did, you will live with shame for the rest of your life

Reason for being awesome because they have been around since the dinosaurs and they are perfectly adapted to hunt in their environment. Not to mention the massive bite force and power of the animal, thumbsup.gif

Don't think that is quite the case for the salt water crocodile, I believe it evolved a bit later than that, about 54 mya.

I like squids and octopi (sp?) better, because they change colors way faster. Also because they're really smart, and just really freaky looking. Is it legal for people to have an octopus for a pet? I would really like one as a pet. I think I once heard a story about an octopus who crawled out of its tank. I forget what it did or how far it got though. Oh yeah, and if one of they're arms get cut off it just grows back.

as much as humans want the title, the octopi seems like they are the pinnacle of evolution. I've seen an octopus open a lid to get food from inside a jar, took it less than a minute to figure it out

dream raider
Animal: Tortoise

Reason for being awesome: It lives a slow life, lives for an extremely long amount of time, it's beautiful and unique.

Humans build homes on their habitats, so they decline quickly, unfortunately. They also steal them from the wild and sell them in Pet Stores.
