This four-legged fish on dry land is sure to cause more than a few chuckles as he passes by. There are several real air-breathing and "walking†fish, however, that can survive out of water for extended periods. The lungfish is one of them.

Although the dog in this picture makes a pretty realistic (and scary) looking tiger, he does fall a little short. The largest adult male tigers (Siberian Tigers) can weigh up to 660 pounds and measure up to 13 feet in length. The largest known dog, an English Mastiff, got to 343 pounds and just over 8 feet in length.

One way in which bumble bees differ from honey bees is in their sting. The honey bee injuries itself when it stings someone and dies as a result, but bumble bees can sting repeatedly. But we doubt you have anything to fear from this sweet feline bumble bee. She's too busy looking cute!

Indiana Jones
Since "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in 1981, Harrison Ford has played archeologist Indiana Jones on multiple occasions.

Although the term "caveman†has no academic definition, this guy certainly looks the part of what the word conjures up for most of us. He's got shaggy hair, an animal skin robe and a club, just as any good caveman should. Plus, it looks like he's already discovered the wheel!

Astronaut
This little darling seems proud to be donning his astronaut costume. He might not make it into space, but it is worth knowing that the first animal to be put in orbit around the Earth was a dog named Laika. She was a mixed husky and terrier mongrel launched on November 3, 1957 by the Soviet space program.

Hulk
bulky hunky superhero%0DFun Fact: The Hulk was first introduced to comic book fans in 1962. His first issue was called "The Incredible Hulk†- a term by which he would continue to be known. With his bulging muscles, ripped shorts and angry green tinge, we think this guy is pulling off one pretty credible (and incredible) Hulk impersonation.

Adorable dinosaur pet costumes are popular year-round. It's worth remembering, though, that most real dinosaurs died out around 66 million years ago. Dogs, on the other hand, only started living among people about 12, 000 years ago. The domesticated cat, didn't show up until about 9,500 years ago.

A wooden beam called a barre is where ballerinas typically begin their practice. Like the barre, a mirror usually runs along one wall of the dance studio, so dancers can see and perfect their form. We think this particular ballerina is simply admiring her good looks, however, and she certainly has every reason to!

Vampire Bat
Let's face it, just the thought of vampire bats is enough to send shivers down your spine. Three species of bat survive on an exclusive diet of blood and bat bites have been known to spread rabies to humans. We doubt anyone will run screaming, however, when this cutie pie makes an entrance.
