It seems to be an extinct version of an anglerfish, but an anglerfish has a backbone...
Actually, no. It's an extinct version of a
giant squid.
It's alive - yes
has a gender - yes
is not often eaten by humans - yes (rarely seen)
is an inverterbrate - yes
lives in the water most of the time - yes (all the time, in fact)
is not sexy and spicy - definitely not sexy, and probably not spicy inherently
can kill you - most definitely yes
there is no populate children's cartoon about it - not as far as I know of
it has limbs - tentacles
does not have big claws - doesn't have huge claws
has teeth - has teeth in the suckers in its tentacles
can breathe underwater - it practically lives underwater
is bigger than a microwave - much bigger than a microwave (13m long)
would not make a nice pet - horrible pet, hard to feed and house
is a predator - it itself only has one predator
is real - it does exist
eats food that humans eat - it eats fish and squid
is extinct - see caveat above, it has to be an extinct version of a giant squid
sheds it's skin - this is the only questionable bit, it's not known to shed its skin, but we don't know much about them :P
does not have 4 legs - 8 arms and two tentacles
Can anyone find anything closer?
