The sabre toothed sausage !

lol too much time on your hands? they are very weird looking and really do look like saber toothed sausages. and wow 2-3 tons of soil a year? they really are busy!

Now that's one good lookin' mole rat!!! When it comes to the animal kingdom, my home country of Australia has more freaks than a Marilyn Manson concert! One of the most unique of them of all is the platypus. It has webbed feet for swimming, a bill like a duck, a poisonous spur, a furry body; and it lays eggs even though it's a mammal! It kinda looks like Daisy Duck and Fozzie Bear's love child.....

Just you wait, they will become the latest celebrity pet!! It goes to show how all the species are important so that scientists can learn about little old us and how to help us live longer and happier lives. They are so ugly they are cute.

only the local weird beastie, the armadillo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armadillo

That's Ron Stoppable's (from Walt Disney's KIM POSSIBLE) pet mole rat!. But it does look like a pink sausage with teeth!

They certainly are a very unique looking creature. They do look a little bit like a willy with teeth! Nothing really odd around here in the way of creatures. Australia is full of weird and wonderful animals that are found nowhere else, but I think people are aware of most of them. The craziest one that people may not know of is probably the drop bear which drops out of trees onto unsuspecting European female tourists. It gains great satisfaction out of scaring the bejeezes out of them! It also has a taste for rum, so if anyone around is drinking it, they should be very wary of this creature of the trees!

You're absolutely right! It does look like someone's drawn a face on a - ... well, what do you think?? The way they climb over top each other in the tubes, you'd think there was a shoe sale somewhere.

Hiya Wizzy, Have read all about those creatures they seem quite unreal to look at they remind me of something I saw on the Television in a silly program they are part of it and they look almost like that sabre toothed sausage Have included a youtube link below it is not an affiliate link just a youtube one so you can see what I mean. Well they are a bit of a different colour but the looks are almost the same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2ZMahER25I Found it really interesting to read did your friend send you that one too? Maybe they will find an answer in these creatures. Last but not least we have had a "chupacabras" it´s a sort of animal some say it looks like a werewolf or a big dog. Various farmers have had their Sheep attacked and their throats pierced from the inside not from the outside. This has happened in several villages around one called Caparroso in Navarra. I kid you not Caparroso is quite a scary odd place to be in I can tell you. They have quite nice Houses too but I would not fancy living there. It´s near to an old military base where American Generals frequently visited the place.
