Mantis Shrimp The mantis shrimp is a fierce and complex creature! While they aren’t even that big, they pack an enormous punch. There are about 550 species of mantis shrimp, ranging from less than an inch to over 1 foot! 9. Frilled Shark This shark doesn’t look like a typical shark because it has adapted to living life in the deep dark sea. As some scientists have noted, the Frilled Shark looks like a creature you would find in a national history museum! Yet, it's very much alive in the modern world, which has led people to calling it a "living fossil" or a "prehistoric shark", both of which are accurate. 8. Bald Uakari Most primates don’t strike us as particularly weird. While they can be intimidating, they’re pretty close to humans. But bald uakaris (Cacajao calvus) can be pretty scary-looking. These South American primates have completely bald heads (hence their name) and blazing red faces. Native to the Amazonian rain forests of Peru, Brazil and Colombia, they have a long coat of hair that can be reddish brown to orange and typically grow to about 2 feet long and weigh from 4 to 7 lb (1.8 - 3-2 Kg). 7. Tardigrade The tardigrade is one of the most fascinating creatures on the planet. Affectionately called the ‘water bear’ since so many people think it’s cute, you can only pretty much see them under a microscope. They live just about anywhere, but mostly in damp or wet environments such as in or around lakes. Their diet is based on fluids. 6. Turtle Ants Scientists estimate that there are somewhere around one million billion ants currently on earth, divided into around 12,000 species. Given their diversity, it’s no surprise that there are some that stand out from the rest. But even with this expectation, turtle ants stand out! You can find Turtle ants in hot semi-tropical environments such as Brazil in the trees. 5. Ground Pangolin Most of the time, when we think scales, we think reptiles or fish but the ground pangolin (called Temminck's or the Cape pangolin) is the only creature with scales that is entirely warm-blooded, and the only mammal covered with scales (along with other pangolins). 4. Platypus The platypus’ odd appearance has been confusing people for centuries. It has a beaver’s paddled tail, a rotund body covered with fur, and duck-like features such as a flat billed face and webbed feet. And they lay eggs. What kind of creature is this? It’s a venomous mammal! People thought this animal was a hoax for years! 3. Creatonotos Gangis A few years ago, a video went viral of an enormous moth that looks like it has tentacles growing out of its back! Or like a moth getting attacked by a centipede or something, like pulsating back legs. This thing looks like something out of a horror movie. But it’s actually real! 2. Ribbon Worm The ribbon worm is perhaps the strangest worm you can find. There are more than 1,000 species of ribbon worms that can be found mostly in the ocean and they are infamous for their method of attacking victims. 1. Viperfish The viperfish (Chauliodus sloani) is one of the strangest looking creatures in the world; not only that, but it is also one of the deadliest predators in the deep sea. Because they are so fast and live in such a harsh environment, very few have ever been spotted. But of those we have seen, the images are striking. #strangest #weirdest #animals #creatures #wildlife #nature #world #earth #bizarre #animal #creature #mysterious #originsexplained #top10
