Barnacles have the longest penis in relation to body size of any
animal: the organ is ten times its height. As adults, barnacles cement
themselves to rocks and are unable to move. The barnacle unfurls its
long penis which roves around to find a partner, leading to jousting
matches between neighbouring male barnacles. Tags: unbelievable facts

Hermit Crab (Strange living sea Creature, Stanger than Fiction!!)
Pictures of sea creatures with some "stranger than science fiction"
lifestyles have been released by the Wildlife Trusts, as they launch
their vision for UK seas. Here a hermit crab carries a cloak anemone on
its back that protects it from predators. Tags: unbelievable facts

Fastest Multi Colour Changing Animal (Chameleon)
Chameleon species are able to change their skin colors. Different
chameleon species are able to change different colors which can include
pink, blue, red, orange, green, black, brown, yellow and turquoise.
Some varieties of chameleon use their color-changing ability to blend
in with their surroundings, as an effective form of camouflage. Color
change is also used as an expression of the

Ice Circles incredibly accurately circular Ice plates
While many see these apparently perfect ice circles as worthy of
conspiracy theorizing, scientists generally accept that they are formed
by eddies in the water that spin a sizable piece of ice in a circular
motion. As a result of this rotation, other pieces of ice and flotsam
wear relatively evenly at the edges of the ice until it slowly forms
into an essentially ideal circle. Ice circles have

Blue Hole in Sea and Oceans
Blue holes are giant and sudden drops in underwater elevation that get
their name from the dark and foreboding blue tone they exhibit when
viewed from above in relationship to surrounding waters. They can be
hundreds of feet deep and while divers are able to explore some of them
they are largely devoid of oxygen that would support sea life due to
poor water circulation - leaving them eerily empty

Columnar Basalt cool lava
When a thick lava flow cools it contracts vertically but cracks
perpendicular to its directional flow with remarkable geometric
regularity - in most cases forming a regular grid of remarkable
hexagonal extrusions that almost appear to be made by man. The size of
the columns depends loosely on the rate of cooling; very rapid cooling
may result in very small (<1 cm diameter) columns, while slow

Sailing and Moving Rocks and Stones of Death Valley
The mysterious moving stones of the packed-mud desert of Death Valley
have been a center of scientific controversy for decades. Rocks
weighing up to hundreds of pounds have been known to move up to
hundreds of yards at a time. Some scientists have proposed that a
combination of strong winds and surface ice account for these
movements. However, this theory does not explain evidence of different
