We all have seen that one guy walking the weirdest looking dog down .the street. Well that dog might start to look a little better after you seen what these creatures look like. So without further ado, this is the Ten Most bizarre creatures
First on our list is the Dumbo Octopus. It's part of the Grimpoteuthis family.
They are found deep in the ocean. Roughly around 7000 meters deep. They may call him a Dumbo but I don't think it's because of his brains. He actually has big wide ears that help him to swim around. Even though he's cute I'd be mighty careful if I were his prey. These things eat their victims whole!
Our second critter is the Tarsier, part of the Tarsiidae family
These nocturnal guys may be small (five inches) but don't be fooled they move very fast using their bony fingers and long tail to jump from tree to tree. Not only do they look odd but they also have a hidden talent, they can twist their heads 180 degrees!!! Coming from someone whose broken my neck twice, the thought of twisting my neck around terrifies me.
Moving on to number three we have the legendary Ice Fish, part of the Notothenioidei family
You're probably thinking that's just a regular fish, and while you're correct yes it is just a fish but this fish has Ice for blood! Most animals, like people, have red blood. The red of our blood is caused by hemoglobin, which carries oxygen throughout our body. Icefishes don't have hemoglobin, thus they have a whitish, nearly transparent blood. Pretty bizarre huh?
Up next is another fish, though it may not look like it. Here we have the Blobfish. The Blobfish is a deep sea fish of the family Psychrolutidae
A Blobfish is usually very fat, bloated and usually ugly. It's eyes are strange looking, his pupils are black and they bulge out of its face. The lips are large and highly pink. Its nose droops down over its mouth and is now president of the United States. Lol I'm just kidding couldn't resist the setup.
And finally our last critter on our list is the lowland streaked tenrec. Its a small tenrec found in Madagascar and part of the Hemicentetes species.
Streaked tenrecs are small, spiny rodents similar to hedgehogs in appearance. Originating from
Madagascar. They're cuter than your average mouse. They take up a part of the exotic pet market. But tenrecs are not overly friendly pets.
Well that about does it for the 5 bizarre creatures list. Which one was your favorite? Let me know down below in the comments and I hope you enjoyed! Let me know if you have a request for a list I can do!
