As far as superpowers go, the horned lizard seems to have gotten one from the very bottom of the barrel, one that would likely not be your first choice of superpower and would in fact, not even make your top ten. That is because the horned lizard has the unique ability to shoot blood from its eyes; something that would likely only be useful to us over Halloween when we use it to freak out our loved ones, but pretty useless the rest of the time. For the lizard though, it is a crucial survival technique and it is most commonly used to ward off predators or occasionally to clean debris from its eyes. The lizard achieves this superpower by filling their ocular sinus below their eye with blood, and then constricting two muscles on either side of it causing the pressure to force the blood out of its eye socket. This jet of blood can reach up to 4 feet and is probably as effective as you might expect shooting blood from your eyes to be. That is to say, very effective. Number 9: The Platypus. The platypus is already a strange animal that breaks the traditional mammal mold by having a beak and laying eggs, and you may not be surprised to learn that most aren’t actually agents for a secret organization of spies fighting to keep control of the tri state area. But did you know that they have a superpower that allows them to track down any moving prey in the water? The platypus is one of only a few mammals that has the sixth sense of electroreceoption, a power that allows them to sense the energy that other animals use to move. Essentially, this means that the more the prey moves, the easier it is for the platypus to track and eventually hunt. Interestingly though, it is the platypus’ beak that senses the movements and the skin on its beak is incredibly sensitive and is considered to be its primary sense organ, more useful than its eyes and ears, even. I am not sure if it would be useful for you or I to be able to sense movements with our nose, but it certainly beats squirting blood from your eyes. Number 8: The Electric Eel. Before we talk about the amazing electric eel, take a moment to like this video and join the Zero2Hero community by using the buttons below! No list of animal superpowers could ever be complete without mentioning the one that has its superpower in its name, and let’s be honest, most of us have at some point in our youth imagined shooting lightning from our fingertips. In this case the electricity is shot out from the eel’s body, and it can pack a punch of up to 600 volts, an amount that would stun even an adult man and that has claimed at least a few lives due to drowning. Also, the eel’s electric shock can do more than just stun its prey and it can even produce a smaller shock that would cause a fishes muscles to spasm and propel it out from under a crevice it may be hiding below; a power something almost like taking control of somebody else’s body. Possibly even more interesting than that, the eel can also use its electric shocks as a type of sonar to discover where its incapacitated prey may have ended up. Number 7: The Salamander. The ability to regrow lost limbs has been a power that many a life form has dreamed of. And while it may seem like something that will remain exclusively in the movies, it’s actually a real thing that the salamander has already perfected. While this power is not exclusive to salamanders, they are the most proficient at it, and are able to regrow large portions some of their organs, including the brain, as well as various limbs, bones, and all. This is because of their very special immune systems and its ability to send cells called macrophages to the wound as quickly as possible. Once the wound has been sealed up by these cells, the body goes about repairing and replacing the cells in a process that scientists are still trying to understand. The hopes of this is to one day allow people to be able to regenerate lost limbs and organs, so, if you are patient…you too can be the next Deadpool. Number 6: The Dragon Millipede. Despite sounding like a boss battle in some video game, the dragon millipede is a real life insect with a real life superpower worthy of making it a real life boss battle. Named after the spines on its back, there are 23 different species of dragon millipede and most of them are found exclusively in one small region.
