Top 100 weirdest amphibians list launched.

The title of this list is enough to make anyone who loathes creepy-crawlies cringe. Top 100? You mean there are more of these creatures who didn’t make the top 100?

They have tentacles coming out of their heads, live underground for months on end, do not need to feed for up to 10 years, and survived whatever killed the dinosaurs. The Zoological Society of London in the UK has launched the top 100 list of the world’s weirdest, most wonderful and rarest amphibians. “They’re extraordinary survivors,” says Helen Meredith of ZSL. “Ninety percent of our top 100 amphibians survived the extinction of the dinosaurs.” Yet they are also in dire need of help to ensure they will continue to survive.

Whatever killed the dinosaurs? I wonder if these tentacled amphibians had anything to do with it?
