It's called a Jenny Haniver. At this point I really hope some fellow readers of Philip Reeve are going to come in here and have their minds blown.

If I could up-vote this more I would. Awesome series of books.

[–]sacramentalist 11 points12 points ago

Oh wow. Flashback. When I was a kid, there was a TV movie with a woman named Jenny Hanniver. She was a cursed woman who turned into a giant killer sea turtle. The hero was telling someone he had a childhood friend with that name, and an old guy cacked at him and waved one of these creepy things saying "No, THIS is a Jenny Hanniver"

EDIT

OK. I need to read links before I comment. But I saw that Bermuda Depths movie when I was a kid and it was scary... to an 8 year old.

[–]arseniosantos 3 points4 points ago

Tell me about it. We had one of these in the garage when I was a kid, and my Dad (a Vietnam vet) explained that it was a mermaid, and left it at that. And then I saw this movie on TV, too.

Yeah, visiting the garage was a lot of fun after that night.

I see a mixture between a Zora and a Goron.

I got to hand it to this little guy. Even in death, he looks even happier than me.

Steve Irwin's death has been avenged and he can finally rest in peace. Let's thank all of the members of Seal Team 6 for avenging him.

[–]bigshum 19 points20 points ago

I count 8 seals.

All seal teams have 8 seals in them. This is the sixth of the Octopinnipedic team.

I love how /r/wtf often has the most scientifically interesting content. Dissections. Deformities. Odd animals

[–]llamas1355 171 points172 points ago

Fuck sting rays. RIP Steve Irwin.

[–]DoWhile 499 points500 points ago

Steve Irwin would have not wanted you to be angry toward sting rays.

[–]Riddlerforce 153 points154 points ago

Or any animal, for that matter.

[–]somecleverusername62 398 points399 points ago

he died the way he lived; with animals in his heart.

I too was on the internet the day he died.

[–]JonathanWarner 2 points3 points ago

Any time something tragic happens, i turn to /r/toosoon to cheer me up about it.

[–]PhillipPriddy 12 points13 points ago

Even if that was meant to be some kind of bad joke, he really did live a good life, and do amazing things for others. My mom nearly cried when she saw that he had died. My dad was a huge fan of his, and i loved waking up at six to get ready for school, and begging my older brother to change the channel from Animaniacs, to Animal Planet.

[–]AngryEnt 22 points23 points ago

Ouch.

[–]IFUCKINGLOVEMETH 63 points64 points ago

Apparently his line of sunblock did not protect against harmful rays.

[–]trs1138 34 points35 points ago

They've started replaying croc hunter on tv and I have been dvr'ing it to watch with my kids. His complete love for animals is a quality I would want my kids to pick up.

One episode I was just watching yesterday he picks up a tree snake who gets agitated and starts biting him. He humbly apologizes to the snake for getting it uncomfortable enough to start biting and puts it back on the tree. He was a wonderful human being.

[–]Kimusubi 26 points27 points ago

I really hope you're being sarcastic because if you're serious, then you've totally missed the point of Steve Irwin's life.

[–]llamas1355 20 points21 points ago

I was only kidding. You're right though. Steve would have said that it was his fault for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The sting ray was just doing what sting rays do.

[–]SneakyPete27 15 points16 points ago

That stings.

[–]misterchief117 45 points46 points ago

At least he died the way he lived...with animals in his heart.
