Antarctic giant spiders breath through their long legs
 

Spiders can be pretty weird with all those legs and eyes. However, even among arachnids, there are some that are just stranger than others. Take the Antarctic giant sea spider for instance. Since the body is small and the legs are very large, it actually stores its internal organs in them. This allows it to effectively breathe through its legs, even though it technically does not have any lungs.
