From gigantic crabs larger that a cat to animals with their own lantern attached. Here are the most fascinating animals around the world I am sure you didn’t know existed.


#14 The Flying Yoda!!
picture a hybrid between yoda form Star Wars and a flying fox, what would you get? don’t have to imagine it, it already happened!!! in the unexplored regions of Papua New Guinea, a gorgeous fruit bat called nyctimene tube nose bat is truly a rare sight for sore eyes!!! Discovered in 2010, this bat looks so dreamy, just look at its mouth. like it was smiling back at you or something

# 13 Double Serving Of Teeth!
It’s a crocodile, its a snake!! no its alligator gar!, unlike the name indicates... it not an alligator but a primitive fish or a living fossil! this incredible animal can grow up to 9 ft or 2 mts and can actually even breath out of water for about 2 hours. If that does not sound scary enough, the alligator gar who lives in the Mississippi...

#12 Meet Greta Oto
Meet Greta Oto... this dainty damsel is not in distress but a very strong butterfly who can carry up to 40 times its own weight. But its goliath strength is not what made it be in the list of most fascinating animals. the main characteristic is its glassy wings.... they are so transparent that the glass wing butterfly...

#11 Mike, The One And Only!
If you thought Mike from monster’s ink was impossible to be found in nature, think again. Meet the cyclops shark!!!this rare birth malformation could also happen in humans with one functioning large eye in the middle of the face, the cyclops shark made the news when couple where found before they had a chance to hatch. None have been found in the wild yet... still, apparently, it’s not uncommon to find them in captivity.

#10 Fish on High Hills
Letting couple of 6-year-old girls use lipstick on you could be epic, to say the least…. You will probably look at your self in the mirror and make the face this red-lipped batfish is making! Between wonderment and self-conscious worry.. for this fish, unfortunately the permanent red stain is… well forever… but use it to its advantage attracting mates in the paradisiac Galapagos islands in SA. To complete the ensemble the brown bodied fish is a terrible swimmer and has adapted to use its fins as feet…. Its cousin the rosy-lipped batfish lives of costa Rica in the pacific oceans. They look like they are going to a party!
