Centuries of science have led us to one very important conclusion: skeletons are very spoopy.
They haunt our Halloween times, they dance around menacingly in our cartoons, they sit inside our very bodies, waiting for their moment to strike. But perhaps the spoopiest thing of all about them bones is how deceptive they are. Looking at the skeleton of a common animal, you’d just as likely as not get the completely wrong impression of what the thing really looked like. In other words, those tricky spoopy bois lie to us.
Here are just 14 examples to illustrate exactly why skeletons can’t be trusted.
14. Quokka
What a ferocious smile.
13. Tree
Technically not a skeleton, but the point remains.
12. Pug
Either way, these things shouldn’t exist.
11. Leopard Seal
A mighty derp has been awakened.
10. Chameleon
Ah yes. Its true form is MUCH more reasonable.
9. Gecko
Plus it’ll sell you car insurance.
8. Platypus
I can’t believe the second pic is fake and the third one is real.
7. Hippo
Don’t let the looks deceive, he’ll still chomp you down.
6. Ferret
From brute to cute.
5. Killer Whale
Still got killer in the name, though.
4. Toddler
The most terrifying creature of all is not It, but Us.
3. Bobcat
Watch out for them teeth.
2. Aye-Aye
You can’t convince me these things aren’t aliens.
1. Crab
Ok, maybe some skeletons deserve our trust.
Pretty eye-opening. Remember to stay vigilant toward those lying skeletons. They’re extremely sneaky. There may even be some in your house RIGHT NOW!
What do you think is the weirdest looking animal in the world?
