I have updated the top 10 most viewed
creatures again and unfortunately Ophiocordiceps, the zombie fungus failed to regain its
position as #1 from Menura,
the Lyrebird which has increased its lead since last time. The corpse wearing assassin bug Acanthapsis
petax has been overtaken
by the giant worm Megascolides australis and the inflatable frog Breviceps
namaquensis has managed
to secure its place as 5th most viewed animal from outside the top
10 not too long ago.
Macrocheles rettenmeyeri, the parasitic mite
that becomes a foot and Phengaris arion the butterfly who would be queen of the
ants have made their way back into the top 10. They have knocked out the only
plant Hydnora
africana, the parasitic plant and the only crustacean Odontodactylus
scyllarus who can literally punch so hard it tears water molecules
apart. This last one is a bit of a disappointment for me as it is a really cool
animal and it used to be in the top ten back when they were well above the rest
of the pack. I considered those four to be invincible.
On the bright side there are now 3 insects
in the top ten, Yay, go insects.
