Atergatis Integerrimus - A highly toxic crab that resembles Pancake (& also doracake)

Image
The Red egg crab, or Atergatis Intergerrimus, is a species of reef crab from the family Xanthidae. Like almost all the xanthid crabs, the Red egg crabs are highly poisonous, so much so that the toxins they contain are not destroyed by cooking and for which no antidote is known. Toxins in the crab's body are similar to tetrodotoxin and paralytic shellfish toxin (saxitoxin) produced by puffer fish, which are synthesized by the bacteria of the genus Vibrio, mostly V. alginolyticus and V. parahaemolyticus, which live in symbiosis with the crab.   Scientific Name:   Atergatis Integerrimus   Described by:    Jean Bastiste Lamark, 1818   Diet:     Omnivorous   Avg.

The very first known creature to have evolved opposable thumbs wasn't a primate as many think, in fact, it wasn't even a mammal. The first animal known to us to possess opposable thumbs was a wukongopterid pterosaur from the Middle-Late Jurassic called Kunpengopterus antipollicatus . Kunpengopterus   Antipollicatus Life reconstruction of Kunpengopterus antipollicatus by Chua ng Zhao   Kunpengopterus lived in north-eastern China approximately 160 million years ago during the Jurassic Period. It was a small-sized pterosaur with an estimated wingspan of 85 cm (33.5 inches). The creature's rock-embedded fossil skeleton reveals that it could touch the insides of its thumbs to the insides of its other fingers, just like humans and, to a lesser extent, apes and most Old World monkeys and because of this, they have been nicknamed Monkeydactyl (meaning 'monkey fingered') by researchers .
