THE FINAL ANIMAL FACT WITH SWAMP FOR TONIGHT!



Tarantulas are hairy little critters.

They got big fangs that can and will hurt you with venom if they bite you, but did you know they have another method of fighting against predators?

Turns out they're hair is allergenic to a LOT of creatures. When faced with something bigger than it (say a dog) the tarantula will use it's hind legs to throw hairs from its abdomen at it's attackers face.

The attackers will develop a terrible rash if they hit the right place. Getting an eye can cause blindness.


Here's a video is you want to see how it works.

This is why professionals suggest to be careful touching tarantulas, even if they are docile.

Edit: Watching it isn't as impressive as I thought it would be though

Last time I visited the thread - Someone was planning to eat shoes (@SlickWylde) and everyone's step-relatives were working at Nintendo.
Now - Animal Facts with Swamp.

Is this the result of the news drought? :p

I noticed that you liked the Aye-Aye and Tarantula posts.

Does that mean you didn't know those facts?

Wow.

Anyone mentioned these beauties yet? Don't worry, they are gonna die out soon, so we won't be forced to get to know them before they are gone forever. ^^

Atretochoana

But, it's common name is MUCH more entertaining

It's an amphibian...a type of caecilian.

That's a musk deer, I think. I didn't know they were so severely endangered.

They FINALLY gave Rosalina a proper sports outfit. Took them long enough, seriously.
Rosalina is always a plus... but I'm still cautious of this game... I wish I didn't have to be, Mario Tennis 64 was my first video game EVER, I don't want this to end up rushed ;-;

Rosalina looks great in her sports outfit.


Regardless, the game actually looks pretty fun.

I didn't want it before but the new characters and amazing graphics have me hyped.

I just hope we get lots of stages and lots of characters.

OH MY GOD SPORTS OUTFIT ROSALINA!!!

She looks great in this game.

I'm starting to get bummed at how much this game is recycling though...

Yeah, it looks about as solid as the other Tennis games if not more so... gameplay wise anyway. We need more characters, stages, modes and online reviews before I can feel safe about this game though...

I'm not sure what's going on, but by inspection, it seems we're posting odd and humorous animal facts. And so I will add to it using a link because I'm lazy.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_fencing

It's like Star Wars. :troll:
The flatworms "fence" using two-headed dagger-like penises which are pointed, and white in color. The mating ritual involves a violent battle during which two hermaphroditic flatworms attempt to pierce the skin of one another with one of their penises. One organism will inseminate the other; this flatworm becomes the father. The sperm is absorbed through pores in the skin, causing fertilization in the second, who becomes the mother.[2][3][4] The battle may last up to an hour.[5]
So this is what the ultimate form that has realized the meaning of life looks like

Ignore this previous part, I'm ashamed of it.
Anyways - looking forward to more Mario Tennis characters - If anything, an amazing dream to see true would be Isaac being playable.

Online and amiibo support is great, though I wish the same could be said for Animal Crossing amiibo Festival - considering that they did say it would be online compatible... Hopefully they'll think again and decide to patch it in eventually.

This really concerns me.

Obviously they are hiding content from GameExplain but...

Please let there be a fleshed out single player mode.
We shouldn't have even found this out from GX.

Idk it strikes me as weird how they've been handling this game lol

Well good to see we have all the main Mario casts as playable for this game. Also seems Smash isn't the only game where Rosalina is floating, makes her look pretty lazy with her floating all the time on the court. Also was she floating in the other spin-off games, besides Mario Kart obviously. Also she kind of reminds me of Magento who's always floating in Marvel Vs Capcom 3, if I remember correctly.

Also, I really like the design of Rosalina in her sports outfit. Too bad we'll never see her's or Peach's as alts in Smash :(

Here's some of the new features if you're curious
It has online? Good.

Now if Mario Party 11 becomes a thing, please give that online Nintendo, or maybe patch online into 10 please?

Also whatever your opinion is on the direction Mario Party is taking, surely you all agree 10 should have had online, and they need to put it in 11 if it is a thing

So...

  • Some neat Multiplayer modes (including variants of classic mode, neat)
  • Online
  • Amiibo

That it?

I mean we don't know a whole lot, I realize but....

Minigames and Tournament mode would be nice. We don't need much more than that mode wise.

It just needs about as many characters as Power Tennis and some neat extra stages and we'll be great.

Camelot.

Rushed games aside. You made Mario Tennis Open and Mario Golf: World Tour. They were high quality games. Don't let the rush destroy your usual quality.

So I guess you can bring you Amiibo online with you as a partner... That's cool.
But man... this game is still scaring me. Less than a month away and we still need Mushroom Kingdom courts, fun modes and mini games, more characters... and good online.
Seriously, World Tour was some of the worst online I've ever experienced in a video game. Ever.

I think me remembering they are pretty critically endangered, but I'll look up on Wikipedia just in case. ^^ And thank you, I totally forgot their name.

Something even worse, about half of the world's population of the Saiga Antelope (pictured below) died suddenly a few months ago. :/

They must be related to Trunk People.

Wait, hold up I just watched the gamexplain video, and it said you can train amiibo partner for online?

Does this mean what I think it means?

I agree with the Power Tennis quote but...

Mario Tennis Open was not a good entry in the series. It was a bad and broken game (and I love the Tennis games).

I hope that it's more in line with Mario Power Tennis.

Mario Golf was good enough. I still felt like it lacked some polish though.
