Not sure if everyone knows about the Bold Jumping spider(daring jumping spider) but here ya go. I've actually seen 4 of these before and they are the biggest spiders I've ever encountered in the wild. They are about 20mm or sometimes just 1 inch and bulky. inb4 not that big.

The Manx Cat.

These cats are born without tails. They spend much of their lives wondering where their tails are, why they are alive, and why it is so hard for them to balance on things.

Picture is a Manx cat wondering "Where is my tail why do I not have a tail?"

To my understanding, nobody did - the genes for creating cats without tails happened to be possessed by a cat that was brought to a small island where previously, there had been few cats. Inbreeding caused the trait to become commonplace, all with no human interaction.

It was either that, or when Noah took all the animals aboard his boat, a sneaky cat tried to rush in as he was closing the door, and Noah accidentally severed the creatures tail. This cat was then banished to a small island in the Irish Sea for its misdeed. My memory isn't so good.

I can't help but think /an/ should gang together and make a blog with multiple authors and produce articles like 'cool animals not many people know about' etc. 4chan archives are a bit shit really coz no-one looks at them except when referencing an awesome thread that happened once

I wouldn't mind this actually.

I mean if it were open, people spell checked their articles, did and cited their research, some kind of editor to arrange and filter the articles, it would be cool if there were some kind of cracked.com equivalent for just /an/imals. Maybe a wiki? It doesn't even have to be about just unusual animals, but about all animals.

Man o' War, it's different from your usual life-forms. It's not made up of cells, it's made up of millions of separate organisms living together. Of course, they die if separated from the body though. Floating organic city.

"Despite its outward appearance, the Man o' War is not a true jellyfish but a siphonophore, which differ from jellyfish in that they are not actually a single creature, but a colonial organism made up of many minute individuals called zooids.

Each of these zooids is highly-specialized and, although structurally similar to other solitary animals, are attached to each other and physiologically integrated to the extent that they are incapable of independent survival.

The Man o' War is found in warm water seas floating on the surface of open ocean, its air bladder keeping it afloat and acting as a sail while the rest of the organism hangs below the surface. It has no means of self-propulsion and is entirely dependent on winds, currents, and tides."
