Top 10 Most Unusual Animals on Earth
There are a wide range of species of flora
and fauna on Earth, most of which aren’t even known to us, either due to their
habitat or their way of living. Here is a list of the Top 10 most wonderfully
weird animals on the planet.
1) Bumblebee bat
This tiny creatures competes with the Etruscan
pygmy shrew for the designation of the world’s smallest mammal. It is about 29
to 33 mm in length. They are now considered as one of the 12 most endangered
species on the planet. It can be found in western Thailand and southeast Burma.
2) Giant Salamandar
The Giant salamander is the largest
amphibian known today. It can grow up to 6 feet long. They are usually found
in ponds and brooks of China, Japan and USA.
3) Tarsiers
Tarsiers are little apes which are found
only in the islands of Southeast Asia. However, they mostly live in Borneo.
They are 4-6 inches tall and their eyes are each the size of their brains. What
makes these primates so rare is the fact that they were completely
carnivorous-they eat bugs, birds, lizards, snakes and bats.
4) Leafy seadragon
The leafy seadragon gets its name from both its
appearance as well Chinese mythology. It gives the illusion of floating seaweed
with long leaf-like extensions all over the body. They are not for thrusting
itself through the water but only as a means of camouflage. The leafy seadragon
pushes itself by means of a pectoral fin on the edge of its neck and a dorsal
fin on its back closer to the tail end.
5) Angora rabbit
One of the oldest types of domestic
rabbit, it is bred for its long, soft hair. It originated in Ankara, Turkey,
along with the Angora cat and Angora goat. They are largely bred for their long
wool, which may be removed by shearing, combing or plucking. There are many
individual breeds of Angora rabbits, four of which are ARBA recognized:
English, French, Giant and Satin. Other breeds include German, Chinese, Swiss
to name a few.
6) Emperor Tamarin
Its named was intended as a joke as it was named
after German emperor Wilhem II, who sported a unique handlebar mustache during
his reign. It is found in southwest Amazon Basin, in east Peru, north Bolivia
and in the west Brazilian states of Acre and Amazonas. It reaches a length of
24 to 26 cm with a 35 cm long tail.
7) Aye-aye
The aye-aye is a nocturnal lemur native to
Madagascar. It is the world’s largest nocturnal creature. It has prominent
eyes, rodent like teeth and a long bushy tail. It is renowned for its unique
method of finding food; it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the
wood and inserts its elongated middle finger to pull the grubs out. It is the
only extant member of the genus, although it is currently an endangered
species. A second species, daubentonia robusta) appears to have become extinct
at some point within the last 1000 years.
8) Yangtze river dolphin
Also known as the Baiji, the Whitefin dolphin,
it is found only in the Yangtze River in China. Unfortunately, due to China’s
industrialization, this animal has been ‘functionally extinct’ and there are
only between 0-13 yangtze dolphin’s left in the world.
9) Blobfish
The blobfish is a deep sea fish that
inhabits the waters off the coasts of Australia and Tasmania. It is rarely seen
by humans due to the detachment of its habitat. The flesh of the blobfish is
primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water which helps
the fish to stay afloat without burning up all its energy on swimming. It
normally swallows edible matter that floats in front of it.
10) Platypus
The platypus is a semi-aquatic mammal. It is
prevalent in eastern Australia, including Tasmania. It is one of the five
existing species of monotremes, the only mamms that lay eggs instead of giving
birth to live young. It is also one of the few venomous mammals with the male
Platypus having a spur on the hind foot which delivers a poison capable of
causing severe pain to humans.
