The Beauty of Ugly

First here’s the preview of the episode on the Nature program with some pretty interesting animals I had never seen before along with the “ugly” animals you already know and love.

I am so sorry I did not know about this special. I watched the preview for it and wish I could have watched it when it came on TV on Nov.15 of last year. Oh well.

Of all the animals they showed, the one animal that shocked me the most was this…

Looking at this picture makes me want to cry.

I have never seen it in my entire life, and I honestly never want to see it. I think I will run away faster than if I saw a horseshoe crab. (see that blog below)

This animal is called the star-nosed mole. This nearly blind animal has 22 tentacles. This mole can found in the wetlands and marshes of eastern America.

Here’s the segment with this odd, odd, odd, (Yes, extra ‘odd’) creature on the program.

If I were its’ prey, I’d probably die of a heart attack first before it gobbled me up within a few seconds. It takes the mole a quarter of a second to eat a snack. Yikes.
