10 Animals you never know Existed

Our world is filled with glamorous wildlife, among these are species that are not known to all. Here we come up with 10 amazing list of strange animals you didn't know are existed.

1.  MEXICAN WALKING FISH 

Also known as Axolotl or Mexican Salamander The species originates from numerous lakes, such as Lake Xochimilco underlying Mexico City.As of 2010, wild axolotls were near extinction due to urbanization in Mexico City and consequent water pollution. They are used by scientist for frequent research due to their ability to regenerate limbs.

2.   GLAUCUS ATLANTICUS

This a species of small, blue sea slug, a pelagic aeolid nudibranch, a shell-less gastropod mollusk in the family Glaucidae. These sea slugs are pelagic: they float upside down by using the surface tension of the water to stay up, where they are carried along by the winds and ocean currents. Glaucus atlanticus is camouflaged: the blue side of their body faces upwards, blending in with the blue of the water. The silver/grey side of the sea slugs faces downwards, blending in with the silvery surface of the sea.

Glaucus atlanticus feeds on other pelagic creatures, including the venomous siphonophore. This sea slug stores stinging nematocysts from the cnidarian within its own tissues as defense against predation. Humans handling the slug may receive a very painful and potentially dangerous sting. 

3. Glass Frog

Commonly known as Glass Frogs, members of the amphibian family Centrolenidae all share a similar small size and lime green background colors. They are strange animals in the fact that certain species have translucent abdominal skin that allows you to see their insides, including heart, liver, gastrointestinal tract, and (in the case of females) eggs!

4. AYE AYE 

(Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a lemur, a strepsirrhine primate native to Madagascar that combines rodent-like teeth that perpetually grow and a special thin middle finger. It is the world's largest nocturnal primate, and is characterized by its unusual method of finding food: it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood using its forward slanting incisors to create a small hole in which it inserts its narrow middle finger to pull the grubs out. 

5.      SCORPION FLY 

The scorpion fly is a strange looking insect which is found in gardens, hedgerows and woodland edges, particularly amongst nettles and Bramble. It has a long beak-like projection from its head that is uses to feed, scavenging on dead insects and frequently stealing the contents of spider's webs. he scorpion fly has a black and yellow body, a reddish head with a long beak, dark patches on the wings and a scorpion-like tail which does not sting (the male has two claspers at the end for mating). There is 3 species of scorpion fly that live in the UK and these are difficult to tell apart.

6.     PACU FISH

Pacu is a common name used to refer to several species of omnivorous South American freshwater serrasalmid fish that are related to the piranha. Pacu and piranha do not have similar teeth, the main difference being jaw alignment; piranha have pointed, razor-sharp teeth in a pronounced underbite, whereas pacu have squarer, straighter teeth, which are uncannily similar to human teeth, and a less severe underbite, or a slight overbite.^[1] Pacu, unlike piranha, mainly feed on plant material and not flesh or scales.^[2] Additionally, the pacu can reach much larger sizes than piranha, at up to 1.08 m (3.5 ft) in total length and 40 kg (88 lb) in weight.^[3]

7.     PANGOLIN

Here are eight species of pangolin found on two different continents (Asia and Africa)

But due to poaching, deforestation, and the fact that they’re the most heavily trafficked mammals in the world, two are endangered and two are critically endangered.They look like some sort of ancient Armadillo/pine cone hybrid, with overlapping armored scales, long tongues, and stink glands like a Skunk’s. They’re solitary animals, living in hollowed trees and burrows, and curl up into a ball when threatened.

8. WATER OPOSSUM

Known locally as the Yapok, this semi-aquatic opossum is found near freshwater streams and lakes in Latin America, from Mexico south to Argentina. It is the only marsupial in the world in which both sexes have a pouch. The males place their genitalia inside their pouch while swimming (kind of like a banana hammock), which helps streamline their bodies. The pouch is also water-tight, which keeps their young dry even when the parent is swimming.

9. JAPANESE SPIDER CRAB

The Japanese name for this species is taka-ashi-gani, which literally translates to “tall legs crab. This crazy creature– whose legs can span 12 feet in length, weighs up to 42 pounds, and crawls along the ocean floor like a creepy spider.Orange, with white spots along the legs, these crabs reportedly have a very gentle disposition despite their daunting appearance.
