Has a human ever been eaten by an anemone?
Sorry had to ask.
You know, they used to have man eating plants untill they realized that there weren't any....

Heather, I think you need to take a nap.
Just don't dream about giant anemones!

there are many legends written about gaint sea anemones prowling the coast waters in search of human prey. eons of evolution have allowed them to evolve the perfect camofluage. i personally have never seen one, because they only become visible to the naked eye, when your facing away from them, then they slowly (very slowly) sneak up on you.

That's why i always use floties, it makes yolu harder to be eaten, plus they don't taste good!

yea I heard about them they are too large for aquariums so some people heep them in their swimming pools , invite unsuspecting icebears to go swimming and when their back is turned or they are swimming under water with their eyes closed the anemone grabs them to never be seen again. poor poor icebears.

She is a chocolate Lab. She is the European style.. short with a very thick body. She is now 4 years old and my very favorite dog ever. Thank you for asking.. I absolutely love her.

is she a good little huntress or is she just an oversized lap dog?
She's adorable....
p.s. none of my threads are hijackable, it is virtually impossible to do that because there is never a recognisably concrete purpose in any of them
