You Can't Make This Stuff Up!

Just imagine a super power that allowed you to replace any part of your body if it was damaged or lost. Meet the Axolotl. It looks sort of like a fish but it's really an amphibian. It can not only replace any limb lost to a predator, it can even replace it's own brain! And it is not like other amphibians. It doesn't go through the Larve stage. What you see is what grows from an egg,

Lasers shooting out of their eyes - that's a neat super power. How about shooting a super heated noxious chemical? But not from eyes - from their butt!. Meet the Bombardier Beetle. These beetles can spray a boiling-hot liquid out its behind when it’s threatened. When they sense danger, a chemical process gets triggered in their abdomen. Hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide get mixed together, which turns into a super-heated and noxious chemical.

Lyrebird. These birds have the most complicated vocal muscles out of all the songbirds. With their ability, they can mimic an innumerable range of sounds both natural and artificial. Camera shutters, car alarms, barking dogs, human voices, chainsaws – the list goes on. Supposedly, the male lyrebirds will try to incorporate a whole host of sounds into their songs as a way to attract females. So imagine a male lyrebird trying to attract a female by barking like a dog!

Shape Shifting. That's a great super power. And the Mimic Octopus can do exactly that. Mimic Octopi have the ability to mimic a plethora of other underwater species, such as the lionfish, jellyfish, and sea snakes; and it does so by changing its color and reshaping its body. It can gauge the threat of another creature and shape-shift in a matter of seconds.

Tardigrades are micro-animals (0.059 in) AKA Water Bears. They have been found in diverse regions of Earth's biosphere – mountaintops, the deep sea, tropical rainforests, and the Antarctic. Tardigrades are among the most resilient animals known with individual species able to survive extreme conditions – such as exposure to extreme temperatures, extreme pressures (both high and low), air deprivation, radiation, dehydration, and starvation – that would quickly kill most other known forms of life. Tardigrades have survived exposure to outer space. I'd call that a pretty neat super power.
