First one is a star nosed mole, second one is a naked mole rat. Strangest semi normal animals I could think of quickly

The brain still thinks I'm in my 20's....the body...not so much! LOL

Same here, only that Old Age ADHD is creeping up on me. You guys know the feeling. You go out to feed the chickens and three hours later you are washing the windows with no idea how you got to that point and the chickens are still lined up at the fence waiting for their dinner.

Just read about the blob fish in Smithsonian magazine awhile back. Hard to tell what it looks like in it's environment, 4,000 feet below. No swim bladder, no skeleton, no muscle, just a blob of jelly up here. Poor blob fish gets no respect.
Under extreme pressure, using water pressure for support, this is what they think it might look like,

They had naked mole rats in a colony, whole glass wall of dirt with tunnels, at Disney's Animal Kingdom, it was pretty cool.
