There are undoubtably some very strange critters out there-- the star-nosed mole, above, for instance. A couple of fun to browse lists are here and here. And while you're at it, check out this slide show of very strange animals, which includes Miracle Mike the Headless Chicken. Seriously, he even has his own website.
None of these, however, compare to the Naked Hot-Headed Ice Borer. This animal is a mole that lives in the ice in Antarctica and uses a heated appendage on its head to bore under the ice, upon which might be standing an unsuspecting penguin. These critters are horrific. Read about them here. They can devour the penguin in minutes after it becomes mired in slush.
There is one catch, though. They don't exist. That's right-- the Naked Hot-Headed Ice Borer is a prank. Just goes to show you can't believe everything you read.
