I can't resist mentioning this one... schizochroal eyes FTW. You might also enjoy the fig wasp lifecycle, lantern flies, archerfish, the megamouth shark, and bryozoans, but you've probably heard of those, too. I haven't heard of the fraser island monster, but it's hard to imagine a burrowing cricket being cooler than wetas. Opabinia and Anomalocaris are definitely the coolest; I just found an enemy in Skies of Arcadia that was modeled after Anomalocaris (really! it's named a "shrilp", for some reason!). Cambrian fauna should be more popular. The black swallower was probably my favorite, too, but it's been sort of displaced by Beebe's monster, assuming that it really exists.
As far as the freshwater seals go, well... basically Lake Baikal is just really damn weird. I wish I knew more.
I apologize, but I can't find a better link than this for the wheel spider:
