Male fiddler crabs have one huge claw, which they use mostly for fighting. It does look like this crab has been exercising just one arm for years, while neglecting every other muscle of his body!

These insects have really powerful hind legs, which they use as weapons to fight other beetles.

Yes, it's a deer with massive fangs! Also known as the saber-toothed deer, this mammal does have really bizarre teeth.
