    Default Zany things that animals can do but humans can't

    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.
    When the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me.
    Shine until tomorrow... Let it be

    [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 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.
