Real Scary
The following are beings that actually exist, but they must be the foundation of many a supernatural legend. Featured below are the Saiga Antelope, Aye Aye, Star-Nosed Mole, Angora Rabbit, Coconut Crab, and Chinese Giant Salamander.
For entry into the contest, tell me what supernatural legend (real or made-up) is based on one of these creatures!
Okay, I'm clueless, but I'll guess that the antelope inspired the unicorn. And that rabbit certainly looks like a Tribble.
ReplyDeleteUggg, that salamander is truly frightening. This coming from a total wuss, of course.
ReplyDeleteUmmm is it weird that I kind of want to cuddle all of them? Especially the star nosed mole? Just sayin'...
ReplyDeleteThe Aye Aye looks adorable!
ReplyDeletesoftdrink - A Tribble! Yes!
ReplyDeleteAndi - I really found that salamander disgusting too!
Cass - Okay, yes. That is strange. :)
Lola - Aaahhh! It creeps me out.
Just as I was about to go to bed, now I can't because I'll have dang nightmares. Thanks Trisha.
ReplyDeleteI think the Mole creeps me out the most and reminds me of ROUSes--you know, Rodents of Unusual Size from The Princess Bride. That thing used the scare the crud out of me when I was a kiddo (until I realized it's just a man in an ROUS costume).
The Aye Aye is considered a harbinger of death in Madagascar. Go Wikipedia!
ReplyDeleteTrish - I'm with you on the nightmares. These animals are terrifying. And props for the Princess Bride reference! Best movie!
ReplyDeleteCara - Gotta love wikipedia. Man it doesn't look like a harbinger of death...strange.
