When we look at animals we see things we wish we could do, such as flying or swimming
underwater without having to breath. Although there is abilities that animals have that so seemsuperhuman and very bizarre.
The horned lizard
A lizard that is light brown and its body covered in spikes, while this would normally
be the defences of any other lizard this one has a very cool but bizarreability to fight off predators. This ability could be placed in a horror movie.What the reptile does is build up pressure in the eye sockets to a point thatblood will shoot out at any predator in the range of the reptile. The horned lizardcan do this many times and uses it to remove dirt from the eyes. When the eyesget covered in dirt it uses the third eye lid to push all the dirt into thecorner of the eye where to reptile could shoot the dirt away. While this is asuper power I don』t think it would be one any human would like to have.The mantis shrimps and the pistol shrimp
This shrimp has one of the most powerful attacks on the planet according to its size, the
attack of the mantis shrimp will give the same feeling as be shot by a gun. Thepunch is so fast that it creates light and air pocket that makes and implosionon impact. It has been noted that this shrimp has been able to escape aquariumsby punching the glasses and breaking it allowing it to escape.The other shrimp is the pistol shrimp also known as a heavy hitter, but the power from
this shrimp creates a sound with the punch that it doesn』t even need to hit thetarget just the noise coming from the punch is loud enough to knock out fish.The noise of the punch can reach up to 218 decibels which puts the shrimp incompetition with the sperm whale for the loudest sound in the ocean.Lyrebird
While some animal can change to the environment
to hide, this bird can mimic any sound. The noises that have been documented bythis bird are chainsaws, car horns, cars driving, construction work , ringtonesand any noise that is in its area. They do this to find a mate, so the birdthat finds the most impressive sign will win the heart of the female bird.Honey BadgerThis animal knowns no fear, but if you saw it size you would think it should be scared but
it stands up to animals a lot larger. It diet consists of honey and termitesbut doesn』t even flinch when its gets attacked by the insects, and if it has children
and you might as well jump off a cliff because this badger will not let youescape. Having the power of no fear might not seem impressing but think of whatyou could have done in your life if you weren』t scared.中文翻譯:
我們時常會羨慕動物擁有的一些技能,例如飛翔,不用換氣得游泳,但是在有些動物身上仍然有一些超能且怪異的能力。
有角的蜥蜴
這是一種體色為淡棕色,全身布滿尖角的蜥蜴,它全身的刺能夠有效防禦其他蜥蜴與天敵,甚至可以用來拍恐怖片。它還有個絕招,就是能會彙集全身壓力至眼窩處,將血液從眼睛噴出,射向捕獵者,而且可以連續好幾次。不僅如此這種有角蜥蜴還能利用這種方法將眼睛中的髒東西祛除,一旦它的眼睛迷了髒東西,就會用第三眼瞼也就是瞬膜將分布在眼中的異物全部聚集到眼角處,方便它射出。相信這種本事人類只能望塵莫及了。
螳螂蝦與鼓蝦
在同類身形中,螳螂蝦有著地表最強的攻擊力,被攻擊者猶如被槍射中。它的出擊非常迅速,能夠產生帶光的氣流,伴隨著引起一種內爆式的效應。人們甚至發現螳螂蝦能夠打破水族館的玻璃,逃出升天。
另外一種就是鼓蝦,也被稱作重擊手。但是這位選手的威力在於能夠發出一種聲音,甚至不用碰到攻擊者,就能擊倒對方。這種聲音的音量可以達到218分貝,甚至可以與海洋中抹香鯨的音量一較高下。
琴鳥
有些動物能夠隨著環境條件的改變而偽裝自己,進而隱蔽自己,但是這種鳥卻能模仿任何聲音。人類曾經記錄下它模仿的聲音就包括割據的聲音、汽車喇叭聲,汽車行進中的聲音,建築場所的聲音,手機鈴聲以及任何在琴鳥周圍物體的聲音。他們之所以如此孜孜不倦模仿各類聲音,為的就是找到心儀的伴侶,給對方留下一個深刻的印象。
蜜獾
這為兄弟以不怕死而聞名,但是如果你瞅見它與其他猛獸對峙時的身形比較,真心替它捏把汗。之所以叫蜜獾呢,是因為它平日里以蜂蜜、白蟻為食,甚至不懼蜜蜂等昆蟲的蟄咬。如果蜜獾帶著孩子時遭受到了攻擊,那麼攻擊者除非跳崖,否則絕沒有可能逃脫。這種沒有恐懼的本領可能不會令你印象深刻,但是我們不妨回想下,在我們過去的歲月中,又有多少件事讓我們無所畏懼呢。
