These weird and wacky wildlife wonders defy categorization!

Earth’s surface is mostly water, so there are tons of wonderful, wet and wild animals out there. Even so, these superstars stand out, perfectly evolved to get a leg, fin or flipper up on the competition. American alligators are pure muscle slipping through river currents, but the real bang is in their bite. The stonefish is so camouflaged that it might not be seen until it strikes with its poisonous barbs and vacuum attack! Stingrays pack a painful prick, but their real power is electric. The walrus may look funny as it flops around on land, but that insulation is key to their graceful life beneath the waves. The pelican can fit twice as much in its mouth as in its stomach! Seems like a problem, until its super skill is seen.
