Natures Freaky Fliers

We made a lot of crazy contraptions to fly. The freaky fliers of the wild beat us to this hair-brained idea and succeeded sooner then we did. Without wings, let alone feathers, these two freaky fliers have it easier than any other animal in the world.

One is obviously the bat, which is well known for flying without feathers at all. The thin, frail membranes connected to the forelimbs makes it possible for the bat to take flight. And with this trait, some species of bat are able to catch and eat prey while flying. This membrane on its limbs may tear easily but it is the fastest healing mammalian tissue in the world.

The Venomous And The Poisonous

There is a lot of deadly things in the world. Animals armed with venom and poison are most likely part of it. The deadliest of which are capable of killing humans in less than a minute flat. Here are two of the animals that can do so with venom and poison.

The venomous one is the box jellyfish. Its neurotoxin can kill a human in less than four minutes, or is it four seconds? Anyway, this venom is potent enough to kill about forty men. They can obviously be found washed up on beaches and swimming around worldwide.
