A sea cucumber can throw up its internal organs in order to repel an attacker. It literally vomits its guts out to scare away something that wants to eat it. :tied:
These organs grow back in a couple of weeks.
This is just one of the many incredible things that animals are capable of, but humans aren't.
What other unique "animal super-powers" would be cool if humans could use them too?
vomiting my entrails = cool? Why Big D, what zany hijinks you are often up to!
Pufferfish can ingest a large amount of water in order to expand its perceived size to scare of predators. While drinking lots of water and being bloated isn't something cool, the idea of growing vastly larger than we usually are for a few seconds is (it would help get cats off trees, for example)
Then there's all the stuff insects can do -- lift several hundred times (or whatever) their mass, work in unison even when numbers involve the thousands, etc etc
:D
I wanna be able to purr... And fly... It'd be cool if I could randomly change my gender too, I know there's some organism that can do that.
[qq]It'd be cool if I could randomly change my gender too, I know there's some organism that can do that.[/qq]Yep, some fish and amphibians do that spontaneously. Usually if they're in a single-sex environment.
Just imagine if people could do that... a guy goes camping with some guy-buddies, then wakes up to find that one of them has inadvertently become a woman during the night.
Scary thought :joey:
I wanna fly.
You know that a fly can fly? That is SO fly.
Some animals do nothing all day except sleep. I want to do that!
:D
I would like to ----------------- like cats and dogs do.
Other than that, flying would be nifty. So would the sleeping all day and having my food given to me every day in a dish. Also having a thin layer of see-through eyelid that i can use while swimming to keep watewr out of my eyes would be cool. Tails are roxxor also. Oh and multi-colored fur. Scales are uber too. uh.... (now wants to be an animal)
Being able to brachiate like a gibbon would be cool. Echolocation, too.
Loiness can hold child birth for up to 9 months when the cub is made
Did you know that monkeys can smoke??
I wish i could.
Cats can go in to that "yoga" position and lick their tails.:catsmile:
you mean the magic leg in mid air trick? i know......wow
>>> Spiderman powers..
Cats bathe themselves by licking. :)

I'd like to be able to have people lick me and then they hallucinate.
Naturally that is, not after coating myself in LSD and going into a coma.
Starfish can regrow their lost "arms."
Just once I'd like to be able to hump a strangers leg and get away with it. :monster:
Cats lick quite a few sensitive organs on their body, and it's fairly impressive.
I can only dream of contorting by body into those positions.
They all manage to somehow end up on the plate of a human, in one way or the other.
... I once saw a cat poop apples because it was hungry.
I wanna be able to unhinge my jaw like a snake and swallow a whole turkey.
I wish I could sleep over winters, like bears can. I hate winter.
Gills. Who knows what awaits us underwater :D
3/4 of the earth is covered in it.
Coral (yes, coral is classified as an animal) sits there and does absolutely nothing. What sets it apart from most human beings is that the coral is actually a vital part of its environment :p
That and it doesn't talk...
Unlike humans -_-.
Cats also have the ability to make their master bend to their every whim without even complaining... In fact, it's not the master owning the cat, but the cast owning the master.
I wish I could be cool like that. :D
Cats=Beyond Cool
I'd like retractable claws though. *SLICE SLICE SLICE*
when male cats hit puberty they get the urge to piss on everything. if that happened to humans, what an odd site middle/high school would be eh?
High/middle school wouldn't be a great place to be.Quote:
