Lord Howe Island Stick Insect Weta Quacking Frog. 7 Wet, Wild & Weird Deep Sea Animal Wonders : WebEcoist. Earth’s ocean depths are often referred to as the planet’s last great unexplored frontier.

Antarctic Octopuses Discovered With Sub-Zero Venom | Wired Science. A research expedition to Antarctica to study the region’s octopus life has returned with descriptions of four new species, and the first known sub-zero venoms. “Antarctic octopus venom works at temperatures that would stop other venoms in their tracks,” said biochemist Bryan Fry of the University of Melbourne, who led the expedition.

Antarctic octopuses eat a wide variety of animals, from clams to fish. They catch their prey with their tentacles and use their venom to kill them, much like snakes. The venoms are being studied as potential sources of pain-killers, Fry said, because they work on the nervous system. The scientists still don’t know what biochemical tricks the octopuses use to keep their venom working at freezing temperatures. This gallery contains six poisonous Antarctic octopuses, including one of the new species, pictured above.
