13 strange animals, of whose existence we had no idea

Seventy three million five hundred sixty four thousand five hundred fifty one

Wildlife is rich in fiction and fantasy there just creatures after all there is on the planet! Many of you probably never heard of, and their appearance will surprise even the seasoned naturalist.

So we at the Website decided to collect a small "zoo" of rare and unusual animals.

Tarsius





These adorable monkey growth of only 9 to 16 cm live in South-East Asia. Their huge yellow eyes and extremely long fingers for a long time are imprinted in the memory — not to be touched these babies is simply impossible! But a domestic animal from your kid not to do it: they can't get used to captivity and feel comfortable only in the wild.

White lion





White lions are not a separate subspecies. It's the lions with a genetic disease that is expressed in a lighter color fur than the rest of the predators. They are sometimes found in South Africa, but most breeders specifically bred these animals in captivity. Like it or not, but one could argue: this is the stunning beauty of animals.

The axolotl

One of the most amazing animals you can make in the aquarium is the animal itself. They feature large external gills in the form of 3 shoots on each side of the head that make them incredibly cute. Originally this marine wonder of Mexico, but also often grown in captivity. Adults rarely reach lengths greater than 3 cm, but endowed with super powers: they have the ability to regenerate gills, a tail, and even limbs.

Moloch

Moloch is unique in its genus of lizard, which is found in Australia. Thanks to the outgrowth on the head, which acts as a false head, he easily manages to fool both the enemy and own casualties. Moloch is gluttony: eats ants and can eat up to several thousand individuals.

Pygmy marmoset

Adorable of species of primates do not grow longer than 15 cm and compete with the dwarf lemurs for the title of the smallest primates. They live mainly in the forests of South America and most of life is spent on trees.

Fish-drop

Perhaps, this is one of the most bizarre deep-water fish on the planet, which due to its unpresentable form, even managed to become an Internet meme. She lives at a depth of 800 meters, and the density of its body is much less than the density of water, allowing it to float without expenditure of energy. By the way, people in Asian countries consider the meat of fish-drop of delicacy.

Neon cancer

This species of crayfish can be called one of the most beautiful: his armour shimmers with all the colors of the rainbow and more like the galactic glow. In addition to the unusual color cancer not much different from their less impressive counterparts. The species was exotic, and the population, alas, in recent years greatly reduced.

The Japanese crab spider

That's really whose silhouette will definitely scare even the most experienced diver on the seabed: this is one of the largest representatives of arthropods whose mass is 20 kg. Awesome view give him huge feet: incidentally, the scope of the first pair can reach 3 meters. The crab feeds on shellfish and animal remains and lives right up to 100 years.

Malagasy reconozca





This unusual animal can be found only in the North of the island of Madagascar. Tiny and fluffy romanoski, which is also called ay-ay, have a small size and a bushy tail with a length up to 60 cm by the way, they are even immortalized in the cartoon "Madagascar" — remember reconozco named Maurice?

Small Olenek

These animals are the smallest and the most ancient animals on the planet: the height at withers of only 20-25 cm They are very shy and are mostly nocturnal. Another interesting fact: in the folklore of South-East Asia, these animals are considered to be cunning, like a red Fox in Europe.

The frilled lizard





If dragons did exist, they probably drew the inspiration for your image of these lizards, just look at that huge crease around the neck, which looks more like a cloak. Despite their small size, these lizards are great hunters: to intimidate the enemy they are on a hill, stand on its hind legs, spread collar and hiss. Yes, there is anyone chickens out!

Giant grey Nightjar





This unusual bird is huge, broad beak that helps catch insects in flight. But if the bird is also bulging his big yellow eyes, such a miracle of nature, certainly not soon be forgotten. Sorry to see it is not so easy, and all because of the wonderful camouflage that literally merges with the trees in the forest.

Bonus: a Fabulous animal





Many artists fantasize on the theme of fantasy animals and some of their work really fascinating. This fantastic Impala looks just as alive: it is made of polymer clay and hand painted with acrylic paints. It is a pity that such animals will not meet in the forest. Would you like to meet such a miracle?
