One of my favorites is the pistol shrimp that releases a stream of bubbles from its claw that temporarily reaches THE TEMPERATURE OF THE SUN. (or very nearly) "Damn nature, you scary!"

I've only seen an x-ray view of it. http://ucdavismagazine.ucdavis.edu/issues/win08/end_notes.html Not very scary :P I was expecting something creepier like how a moray eel has a second set of jaws with teeth that come out from its throat then retract to drag prey in ala Alien!

However, some of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXl8F-eIoiM" rel="nofollow">these bastards</a> gave me many a nightmare as a young child who discovered them in my mother's marine biology textbooks. Specifically something like nature's amalgamation of teeth and more teeth at 1:21 in the above video. Certainly amongst the world’s more fascinating sea creatures.

Why, I resent that. Surely you meant to write "Beauty"? Not only is that a biomechanical marvel and an evolutionary delight, but it's an absolute treat to watch! Come on now, it launches its face! And the vacuum it creates to suck the prey in? Pure biology porn! Horror? Why, I resent that. Surely you meant to write “Beauty”?
