Dolphin blows you a bubble ring, proposes to marry you, and create hybrid dolphins with opposable thumbs, in order to conquer Earth. Agree, or there will be unnerving yacht-related consequences. 🛥️ 🐬
Major Mitchell Pink Cockatoo [ Latin: Cacatua Leadbeateri ]. Listen, he’s even prettier than Legolas, and he fucking KNOWS IT.
A Gharial [ Latin: Gavialis Gangeticus ] Crocodile in full toothy mode. I submit that this is not a view you ever want to see IRL.
That #AliensFromEarth hashtag is brilliant 👏👏
Piebald Ball Python, a genetic color morph of the Python regius species. Basically, a snake with a scale pattern that so very resembles the fur of a cat, it’s frickin’ weird.
Calico kittens, if kittens were snakes.

Gingers are getting aggressive with full-on glowing wolf eyes.

Anemone that are as floppy as you might expect, and neon brilliant in color.
Today in #AliensFromEarth: Sea anemone.
Barnacles exposed from their underwater perch, in the daylight have shells that look like they’re made of white cobblestone pavement, and red lips that border on the pornographic. Totally look like alien pods. Great VFX reference, that.
Today in #AliensFromEarth, barnacles.
Beetle shaped a bit like a violin, no mop top.
#AliensFromEarth:
Behold, the Violin Beetle [ Latin: Mormolyce Phyllodes ].
Ram’s horns wrapped around right in front of his eyes.
I feel like this Scottish ram’s horns have become self-defeating.

Clearly cuddle-worthy, but evolution really screwed the poor boy over.
Another one for the #AliensFromEarth files, this adorable albino porcupine.
A shiny black spider with pale green highlights on his body, and crazy spikes. Wonderful photo courtesy of Andreas Kay.
Serious #AliensFromEarth candidate, a Spiny Orb Weaver (Micrathena Vigorsi) typically found in Ecuador.
The Treehopper, a marvel of adaptation and bio-design. With its dramatic, crescent-shaped pronotum arching boldly over its back, this tiny insect redefines what's possible in evolution's toolkit.
In today’s #AliensFromEarth, we have the magnificent Treehopper of the Membracidae family, a relative of the noisy Cicadas that make their presence known across the Deep South, periodically.
Oo! I really like this one.
Very modern. Clean. Graphical. Deadly.

Fishy of nuclear yellow, pink, and purple, prior to being thrown back in the ocean.
#AliensFromEarth: This is not AI, it’s a real fishy called a Golden Threadfin Bream.
But I mean #TheCOLOR…😲
I have no idea what species this fish is, but he’s pretty.
#AliensFromEarth: Beta fish with a weirdly large head?
Deep, dark blue frog with little white flecks on the top of bumpy nodules all over its skin that look like a constellation of stars, save for a bright orange undercarriage. This one’s an absolute unit, too. His face and stance look like he’s just WAITING to kick your ass.
And one more #AliensFromEarth for good measure.
This time the magnificent Galaxy Frog (Melanobatrachus Indicus).
Dave: “My God, it’s full of stars!”
Black bird with vivid yellow beak and a mohawk of amazingly curled feathers atop the head.
Today’s #AliensFromEarth: The Bare-faced Curassow (Crax Fasciolata) rocking Anson Mount-level top coiffure.
Incredible blue, yellow and white fur monkey
#AliensFromEarth: Wolf's Mona Guenon Monkey (Cercopithecus Wolfi)
Seriously, I think everyone who claims to have been abducted by UFOs, really just had a close encounter with this little guy.
