At Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada near the CN Tower in Toronto we saw all kinds of unusual sea creatures. Not sure what kind of fish this is — a stonefish, maybe, or some other kind of scorpionfish?
It seems to have some parasites growing on it — unless those are part of its exotic self. Camouflage?...
I find it hard to choose a favourite novel, being a librarian. But one I've read several times and whose story is inspiring is Tracy Chevalier's "Remarkable Creatures". Mary Anning was a fossil finder and collector in England during the days women were unlikely to be scientists. So while I don't have an ichthyosaur I do have a fossil shell. Mary Anning combed the cliffs of Lyme Regis for many years upsetting the church and science! So my photo has beach pebbles and fossils. It must have taken a keen eye to spot the fossilized creatures in those cliffs and near the sea. www.tchevalier.com/remarkablecreatures/story/
Creature doesn't really want to come in the house, he just likes staring in the window at us.

Fall is upon us and the green is disappearing into radiant colors of amber, scarlet and burgundy. Little white flakes of perfection will soon appear but remember your woodland creatures. This pretty piece is in honor of those creatures. Beautiful ceramic toggle ,rondelle and twig barrel bead by Muddymuse. The toggle is looped with chips of jade, white turquoise, tiny wooden rounds, and pewter. Carved jade leaf bead plays off of the beautiful lampwork focal by Etsian, Janesbeads. Unique silver leaf agate oval donut embraces a precious ceramic face, the muse of the woodland creatures!
Diniwid beach, Boracay Island, 29 years ago ...
At that time there was no power, only petrol lamps and some truck batteries to provide light in the kitchen. Now luxury resorts have replaced the simple backpacker's heaven place. Scanned 35 mm slide image. From my archives (November 1989)
I doubt anyone's gonna fave a pic of a fish head but I really wanted to capture how much the fishmongers at Ghim Moh Wet Market enjoy their jobs and allowed me to take as many pictures as I wanted of them working! One of them even went through the process of gutting a fish three times so my friends and I could get our shots.

We swear we're alive
But we're falling to pieces
We fight like lions
We howl at the moon
We should be flying
Instead we bury the truth
But I know inside we're beautiful creatures
I ain't never seen a creature like that before, she says. He's so smart, he's-
More, like a person than a bird? I says.
Yeah, she says. That's it.
Whatever you do, I says, don't tell him that. I'll never hear the end of it.

In the Cambrian Period (541-485 mya) there was the appearance of most of the large groups of organisms or phyla, a great diversification of complex multicellular organisms, in what is called the Cambrian Explosion. The Cambrian fossil record has left us some of the most unique and fantastic creatures that have ever existed, and indeed nature can overcome any fantasy when it comes to living organisms. My interest in strange prehistoric creatures comes from childhood, but it was the reading of Stephen Jay Gould's books, in particular "Wonderful life" which is about one of the most emblematic Cambrian sites called Burgess Shale, which made me passionate of this topic. Some time ago I had been planning to make this collection of Cambrian creatures in LEGO, and I have been gradually completing it for some months, and now I present it as a whole, with the most iconic and wonderful Cambrian creatures that are known. The ammonite is a Paleozoic creature that appeared after the Cambrian, but I included it equally in the photo, because it is one of my favorites. I hope you like them.
Description (English) : The Epicronus (Megabranchus epicronus) is a creature with a striking ressemblance to a tree. The Epicronus is the most common "tree" of the 'Big Branch Forest'. The forest was named after this creature having large hollow horizontal branches just below its canopy. When multiples specimens are close to each others, their branches tends to connect and create a real wooden labyrinth. The Trunk of this "tree" is covered by small spines and many large opening like holes filled with a purple fool smelling sticky liquid.

Description (Français) : L'Epicrone à grosses branches (Megabranchus epicronus) est une creature à l'apparence d'un arbre. L'épicrone à grosses branches est l'"arbre" le plus commun de la foret à grosses branches, nom qui lui est donneee à cause de la caractéristique de cet "arbre" à avoir de large branches creuses et horizontales juste au dessous de sa canopée. Quand plusieurs individus sont proches des uns des autres, ces branches se connectent et forme un vrai labyrinthe de bois. Le tronc de cet "arbre" est couvert de multiples petites épines et de nombreux trous formant comme des taches remplies d'un liquide violet collant et nauséabond.
