Exotic animals and their characteristics Bashny.Net

Watching the animals in nature, can often see a squirrel jumps on the tree, the snake glides through the grass, or the bees fly to their hive you have around the house. But there are far more interesting creatures in the world, which is not so easy to meet. There are a selection of some of the most exotic animals that have strange and unusual features of the body.



Bald Uakari Bald Uakari — a kind of monkeys in Brazil and Peru that is known for its bright red face. Flock of these monkeys called troops, they prefer to live in tall trees because of the constant flooding. These floods are gradually destroying the habitat of the bald uakari, and a number of other exotic animals in these parts. Scientists believe that the colorful face monkey is the result of the presence of a special pigment that enables red blood vessels appear through the skin. This is a disadvantage and does not contribute to the survival of the monkeys, because predators are much easier to spot a monkey. Unfortunately for these monkeys, they slowly disappear because of hunters. Bald uakari with paler individuals are susceptible to malaria. They isolate themselves from other apes and do not reproduce. This is one of the most exotic species of monkeys.

Beetle giraffe

This exotic beetle got its name due to the unusually long neck. Beetle giraffe — an insect that lives on the island of Madagascar. Although it may look very uncomfortable, this strange feature of the body is critical in the life of a small insect. For males their necks serve as a weapon against other males. Neck weevil males two times longer than that of female weevils.

Snub-nosed monkey

Snub-nosed monkey more a victim of genetic experiment than the primacy. They were only recently discovered in the Asian country of Myanmar, after becoming a random victim of the hunters. Since then, scientists have observed these monkeys in the jungle during the rainy season. This is the best period to observe their unusual behavior. Monkey curl your hair into a ball to protect itself from water, because the odd shape of their noses allows the water to easily penetrate into the nostrils, causing them to sneeze constantly.

The population of snub-nosed monkeys in Myanmar currently stands at 260-300 individuals, but it is a risk to fall because of their tasty meat, which often hunt. Fortunately, they eat berries and fruits on high trees, so the hunters are difficult to catch them. Exotic animals in Myanmar is not uncommon, because here come the scientists and researchers from around the world.

Ice fish

First discovered in 1927, the ice fish — strange-looking body, inhabiting the shores around Antarctica. Exotic fish has striking features, has fangs and ghostly white body. This transparent body is the result of lack of hemoglobin in her blood.

The mystery of how these fish survive without hemoglobin, has puzzled researchers for over 60 years and is the substance which holds oxygen through the bloodstream. Recently, scientists theorized that the ice fish can absorb oxygen through the skin, not through gills. Another version is that instead of the blood of the ice fish plasma. Yellow color of plasma may be the cause of the yellow tint of fish.

Large eel In the list of exotic animals were also extremely rare large eel, which is sometimes called a Pelican eel. This creature lives deep in the ocean. One of the reasons for its rarity — the fact that females lay their eggs in such deep waters, where the descendants are often simply not survive.

Deep acne reveals jaw incredibly big mouth to swallow prey of large size, brought to the superior bioluminescent balls on the end of his tail. The aging of the eel, its teeth slowly disappear, but it improves the sense of smell to compensate for the loss of teeth.

Butterfly-Hummingbird

Butterfly, Hummingbird, or azcan ordinary — a very exotic creature that is often confused with a bird Hummingbird. Lives almost everywhere in southern Europe and Asia, this moth is very similar to a Hummingbird. Moreover, it has a very similar trunk to collect nectar. It expands with air when the moth inhales, allowing you to suck the nectar.

Along with the presence of trunk of a Hummingbird, its wings can move just as fast, making a low humming noise. Azcan ordinary has a good memory, continually returning to the same 50 flowers.

Flying frog

Flying frog is a rare species, which descends from the tree only during the breeding season. Also known as the parachute frog, this species has strong membranes between the toes. Scientists originally thought that these webbed membrane was used for swimming because it is more common for the frogs, but was surprised to see them flitting from tree to tree. These exotic Pets fly this way, to avoid predators.

The longest distance that you overcame the flying frog, was more than 15 meters. It's just enough to get to another tree, or even to the ground. In addition to the webbed membranes, frog uses the fingers, thumbs, legs for a safer landing, in many respects, as do geckos.

Salpa

Probably one of the more bizarre creatures in the world. Salpa is an exotic animal, more reminiscent of alien. Surprisingly, this jellyfish like creature, which lives off the coast of California, is not a jellyfish at all, but are actually composed of smaller organisms that combine and interact. Each Salpa has an individual structure consists of plankton and is completely safe.

These organisms became more in recent years because of their incredible ability to clone himself at will. However, salp also cause a number of problems. They destroy fishing nets, being caught in a trap, and once even temporarily knocked out a nuclear power plant in California. Scientists say that due to its ability to adapt to different water temperatures and immunity to contaminants in salp may soon fill the ocean.

The Indian purple frog

The Indian purple frog has a funny face and very thick body. These strange exotic Pets are born in the form of tadpoles, in the same way as regular water frogs. The only difference is that these tadpoles pig-like nose hanging off the face like a hook.

Scientists surprised strange features of the frog. Her short legs are intended to dig the ground like tiny shovels. They create a whole maze under the ground, swiping at the surface with two weeks of his life. During these two weeks, frogs have plenty of time to find a partner for mating, and again to hide under the ground. At this time, the males croak loudly to attract females, and the power of their sweet song becomes louder, when it starts raining.

Carpet octopus

Inhabiting the seas of New Zealand and Australian carpet octopus (also known as octopus Superman, or Batman) is almost as rare as a big eel, but it lives in much shallower waters. Identification of males and females of this species are very simple, because females almost 2 meters long. His "carpet" is used to capture prey, like a number of other gimmicks.
