25 Worlds Weirdest Animals
NEW!!! Leafy seadragon
Named after the dragons of Chinese mythology, Leafy seadragons (Phycodurus eques) resemble a piece of drifting seaweed as they float in the seaweed-filled water. The Leafy seadragon, with green, orange and gold hues along its body, is covered with leaf-like appendages, making it remarkably camouflaged. Only the fluttering of tiny fins or the moving of an independently swiveling eye, reveals its presence.
Like the seahorse, the male seadragon carries as many as 150-200 eggs. After being deposited by the female, the eggs are carried in the honeycomb-shaped area (known as the brood patch) under the male's tail for approximately eight weeks. Seadragons have no teeth or stomach and feed exclusively on mysidopsis shrimp. Known as "Australian seahorses" in Australia, they are found in calm, cold water that is approximately 50-54° F (10-12° C). Leafy seadragons have been protected by the South Australian government since 1982.
Sun Bear
The Sun Bear (Helarctos malayanus) is a bear found primarily in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia.
The Sun Bear stands approximately 4 ft (1.2 m) in length, making it the smallest member in the bear family. It is often called the dog bear because of its small stature. It has a 2 in (5 cm) tail and on average weighs less than 145 lb (65 kg). Males tend to be slightly larger than females.
Unlike other bears, the Sun Bear's fur is short and sleek. This adaptation is probably due to the lowland climates it inhabits. Dark black or brown-black fur covers its body, except on the chest where there is a pale orange-yellow marking in the shape of a horseshoe. Similar colored fur can be found around the muzzle and the eyes. This distinct marking gives the sun bear its name.
Komondor Dog
Females are 27 inches (69cm) at the withers. Male Komondorok are a minimum of 28 inches at the withers, but many are over 30 inches tall, making this one of the larger common breeds of dog. The body is not overly coarse or heavy, however, and people unfamiliar with the breed are often surprised by how quick and agile the dogs are.
Its long, thick, strikingly corded white coat (the heaviest amount of fur in the canine world) resembles dreadlocks or a mop. The puppy coat is soft and fluffy. However, the coat is wavy and tends to curl as the puppy matures. A fully mature coat is formed naturally from the soft undercoat and the coarser outer coat combining to form tassels, or cords. Some help is needed in separating the cords so the dog does not turn into one large matted mess. The length of the cords increases with time as the coat grows. Shedding is very minimal with this breed, contrary to what one might think (once cords are fully formed). The only substantial shedding occurs as a puppy before the dreadlocks fully form. The Komondor is born with only a white coat, unlike the similar-looking Puli, which is usually white, black or sometimes grayish. However, a working Komondor's coat may be discolored by the elements, and may appear off-white if not washed regularly.
Angora Rabbit
The Angora rabbit is a variety of domestic rabbit bred for its long, soft hair. The Angora is one of the oldest types of domestic rabbit, originating in Ankara, Turkey, along with the Angora cat and Angora goat. The rabbits were popular pets with French royalty in the mid 1700s, and spread to other parts of Europe by the end of the century. They first appeared in the United States in the early 1900s. They are bred largely for their long wool, which may be removed by shearing or plucking (gently pulling loose wool).
There are many individual breeds of Angora rabbits, four of which are ARBA recognized. Such breeds include, French, German, Giant, English, Satin, Chinese, Swiss, Finnish, to name a few.
Red Panda
The Red Panda, Ailurus fulgens ("shining cat," from a Latinized form of the Greek, ailouros, "cat," and the participial form of the Latin fulgere, "to shine") is a mostly herbivorous mammal, slightly larger than a domestic cat (55 cm long). The Red Panda has semi-retractile claws and, like the Giant Panda, has a "false thumb" which is really an extension of the wrist bone. Thick fur on the soles of the feet offers protection from cold and hides scent glands. The Red Panda is native to the Himalayas in Nepal and southern China. The word panda is derived from Nepalese word "ponya" which means bamboo and plants eating animals in Nepal.
Sloth
Sloths are medium-sized mammals that live in Central and South America belonging to the families Megalonychidae and Bradypodidae, part of the order Pilosa. Most scientists call these two families the Folivora suborder, while some call it Phyllophaga.
Sloths are omnivores. They may eat insects, small lizards and carrion, but their diet consists mostly of buds, tender shoots, and leaves.
Sloths have made extraordinary adaptations to an arboreal browsing lifestyle. Leaves, their main food source, provide very little energy or nutrition and do not digest easily: sloths have very large, specialized, slow-acting stomachs with multiple compartments in which symbiotic bacteria break down the tough leaves.
As much as two-thirds of a well-fed sloth's body-weight consists of the contents of its stomach, and the digestive process can take as long as a month or more to complete. Even so, leaves provide little energy, and sloths deal with this by a range of economy measures: they have very low metabolic rates (less than half of that expected for a creature of their size), and maintain low body temperatures when active (30 to 34 degrees Celsius or 86 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit), and still lower temperatures when resting. Sloths mainly live in Cecropia trees.
Emperor Tamarin
The Emperor Tamarin (Saguinus imperator) is a tamarin allegedly named for its similarity with the German emperor Wilhelm II. The name was first intended as a joke, but has become the official scientific name.
This tamarin lives in the southwest Amazon Basin, in east Peru, north Bolivia and in the west Brazilian states of Acre and Amazonas.
The fur of the Emperor Tamarin is predominantly grey colored, with yellowish speckles on its chest. The hands and feet are black and the tail is brown. Outstanding is its long, white mustache, which extends to both sides beyond the shoulders. The animal reaches a length of 24 to 26 cm, plus a 35 cm long tail. It weighs approximately 300 to 400 g.
This primate inhabits tropical rain forests, living deep in the forest and also in open tree-covered areas. It is a diurnal animal, spending the majority of its days in the trees with quick, safe movements and broad jumps among the limbs.
White-faced Saki Monkey
The White-faced Saki (Pithecia pithecia), also known as the Guianan Saki and the Golden-faced Saki, is a species of saki monkey, a type of New World monkey, found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. This monkey mostly feed on fruits, but also nuts, seeds, and insects.
Tapir
Tapirs are large browsing mammals, roughly pig-like in shape, with short, prehensile snouts. They inhabit jungle and forest regions of South America, Central America, and Southeast Asia. All four species of tapir are classified as endangered or vulnerable. Their closest relatives are the other odd-toed ungulates, horses and rhinoceroses.
Hagfish
Hagfish are marine craniates of the class Myxini, also known as Hyperotreti. Despite their name, there is some debate about whether they are strictly fish (as there is for lampreys), since they belong to a much more primitive lineage than any other group that is commonly defined fish (Chondrichthyes and Osteichthyes). Their unusual feeding habits and slime-producing capabilities have led members of the scientific and popular media to dub the hagfish as the most "disgusting" of all sea creatures.
Hagfish are long, vermiform and can exude copious quantities of a sticky slime or mucus (from which the typical species Myxine glutinosa was named). When captured and held by the tail, they escape by secreting the fibrous slime, which turns into a thick and sticky gel when combined with water, and then cleaning off by tying themselves in an overhand knot which works its way from the head to the tail of the animal, scraping off the slime as it goes. Some authorities conjecture that this singular behavior may assist them in extricating themselves from the jaws of predatory fish. However, the "sliming" also seems to act as a distraction to predators, and free-swimming hagfish are seen to "slime" when agitated and will later clear the mucus off by way of the same travelling-knot behavior.
Star-nosed Mole
The Star-nosed Mole (Condylura cristata) is a small North American mole found in eastern Canada and the north-eastern United States. It is the only member of the tribe Condylurini and the genus Condylura.
It lives in wet lowland areas and eats small invertebrates, aquatic insects, worms and molluscs. It is a good swimmer and can forage along the bottoms of streams and ponds. Like other moles, this animal digs shallow surface tunnels for foraging; often, these tunnels exit underwater. It is active day and night and remains active in winter, when it has been observed tunnelling through the snow and swimming in ice-covered streams. Little is known about the social behavior of the species, but it is suspected that it is colonial.
The Star-nosed Mole is covered in thick blackish brown water-repellent fur and has large scaled feet and a long thick tail, which appears to function as a fat storage reserve for the spring breeding season. Adults are 15 to 20 cm in length, weigh about 55 g, and have 44 teeth. The mole's most distinctive feature is a circle of 22 mobile, pink, fleshy tentacles at the end of the snout. These are used to identify food by touch, such as worms, insects and crustaceans.
Proboscis Monkey
Nasalis larvatus also known as Long-nosed Monkey is a reddish-brown arboreal Old World monkey. It is the only species in monotypic genus Nasalis.
The most distinctive trait of this monkey is the male's large protruding nose. The purpose of the large nose is unclear, but it has been suggested that it is a result of sexual selection. The female Proboscis Monkey prefers big-nosed male, thus propagating the trait.
Males are much larger than females, reaching 72 cm (28 inches) in length, with an up to 75 cm tail, and weighing up to 24 kg (53 pounds). Females are up to 60 cm long, weighing up to 12 kg (26 lb).
The Proboscis Monkey also has a large belly, as a result of its diet. Its digestive system is divided into several parts, with distinctive gut flora, which help in digesting leaves. This digestive process releases a lot of gas, resulting in the monkey's "bloated" bellies. A side-effect of this unique digestive system is that it is unable to digest ripe fruit, unlike most other simians. The diet consists mainly of fruits, seeds and leaves.
Pink Fairy Armadillo
The Pink Fairy Armadillo (Chlamyphorus truncatus) or Pichiciego is the smallest species of armadillo (mammals of the family Dasypodidae, mostly known for having a bony armor shell). It is approximately 90-115 mm (3?-4?") long excluding the tail, and is pale rose or pink in color. It is found in central Argentina where it inhabits dry grasslands and sandy plains with thorn bushes and cacti. It has the ability to bury itself completely in a matter of seconds if frightened.
The Pink Fairy Armadillo burrows small holes near ant colonies in dry dirt. It feeds mainly on ants and ant larvae near its burrow. Occasionally it feeds on worms, snails, insects and larvae, or various plant and root material.
Axolotl
The Axolotl (or ajolote) (Ambystoma mexicanum) is the best-known of the Mexican neotenic mole salamanders belonging to the Tiger Salamander complex. Larvae of this species fail to undergo metamorphosis, so the adults remain aquatic and gilled. The species originates from the lake underlying Mexico City. Axolotls are used extensively in scientific research due to their ability to regenerate most body parts, ease of breeding, and large embryos. They are commonly kept as pets in the United States, Great Britain, Australia, Japan (where they are sold under the name Wooper Rooper, and other countries.
Axolotls should not be confused with waterdogs, the larval stage of the closely related Tiger Salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum and Ambystoma mavortium), which is widespread in much of North America which also occasionally become neotenic, nor with mudpuppies (Necturus spp.), fully aquatic salamanders which are unrelated to the axolotl but which bear a superficial resemblance.
Aye-aye
The Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a strepsirrhine native to Madagascar that combines rodent-like teeth with a long, thin middle finger to fill the same ecological niche as a woodpecker. It is the world's largest nocturnal primate, and is characterized by 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.
Daubentonia is the only genus in the family Daubentoniidae and infraorder Chiromyiformes. The Aye-aye is the only extant member of the genus (although it is currently an endangered species); a second species (Daubentonia robusta) was exterminated over the last few centuries.
Alpaca
The Alpaca (Vicugna pacos) is a domesticated species of South American camelid developed from the wild alpacas. It resembles a sheep in appearance, but is larger and has a long erect neck as well as coming in many colors, whereas sheep are generally bred to be white and black.
Alpacas are kept in herds that graze on the level heights of the Andes of Ecuador, southern Peru, northern Bolivia, and northern Chile at an altitude of 3500 to 5000 meters above sea-level, throughout the year.
Alpacas are considerably smaller than llamas, and unlike them are not used as beasts of burden but are valued only for their fiber. Alpacas only have fleece fibers, not woolen fibers, used for making knitted and woven items much as sheeps wool is. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles and ponchos in South America, and sweaters, socks and coats in other parts of the world. The fiber comes in more than 52 natural colors as classified in Peru, 12 as classified in Australia and 22 as classified in America.
Tarsier
Tarsiers are prosimian primates of the genus Tarsius, a monotypic genus in the family Tarsiidae, which is itself the lone extant family within the infraorder Tarsiiformes. The phylogenetic position of extant tarsiers within the order Primates has been debated for much of the past century, and tarsiers have alternately been classified with strepsirrhine primates in the suborder Prosimii, or as the sister group to the simians (=Anthropoidea) in the infraorder Haplorrhini. Analysis of SINE insertions, a type of macromutation to the DNA, is argued to offer very persuasive evidence for the monophyly of Haplorrhini, where other lines of evidence, such as DNA sequence data, had remained ambiguous. Thus, some systematists argue that the debate is conclusively settled in favor of a monophyletic Haplorrhini.
Tarsiers have enormous eyes and long feet. Their feet have extremely elongated tarsus bones, which is how they got their name. They are primarily insectivorous, and catch insects by jumping at them. They are also known to prey on birds and snakes. As they jump from tree to tree, tarsiers can catch even birds in motion.[citation needed] Gestation takes about six months, and tarsiers give birth to single offspring. All tarsier species are nocturnal in their habits, but like many nocturnal organisms some individuals may show more or less activity during the daytime. Unlike many nocturnal animals, however, tarsiers lack a light-reflecting area (tapetum lucidum) of the eye. They also have a fovea, atypical for nocturnal animals.
Dumbo Octopus
The octopuses of the genus Grimpoteuthis are sometimes nicknamed "Dumbo octopuses" from the ear-like fins protruding from the top of their "heads" (actually bodies), resembling the ears of Walt Disney's flying elephant. They are benthic creatures, living at extreme depths, and are some of the rarest of the Octopoda species.
Frill-necked Lizard
The Frill-necked Lizard, or Frilled Lizard also known as the Frilled Dragon, (Chlamydosaurus kingii) is so called because of the large ruff of skin which usually lies folded back against its head and neck. The neck frill is supported by long spines of cartilage, and when the lizard is frightened, it gapes its mouth showing a bright pink or yellow lining, and the frill flares out, displaying bright orange and red scales. The frill may also aid in thermoregulation.
They may grow up to one metre in total length. They often walk quadrupedally when on the ground. When frightened they begin to run on all-fours and then accelerate onto the hind-legs. In Australia, the frill-necked lizard is also known as the "bicycle lizard" because of this behaviour. Males are significantly larger than females both as juveniles and when mature. The frill of the Australian frilled dragon is used to frighten off potential predators — as well as hissing and lunging. If this fails to ward off the threat, the lizard flees bipedally to a nearby tree where it climbs to the top and relies on camouflage to keep it hidden.
Narwhal
The Narwhal (Monodon monoceros) is an Arctic species of cetacean. It is a creature rarely found south of latitude 70°N. It is one of two species of white whale in the Monodontidae family (the other is the beluga whale). It is possibly also related to the Irrawaddy dolphin.
The English name narwhal is derived from the Dutch name narwal which in turn comes from the Danish narhval which is based on the Old Norse word nar, meaning "corpse." This is a reference to the animal's colour. The narwhal is also commonly known as the Moon Whale.
In some parts of the world, the Narwhal is colloquially referred to as a "reamfish."
Sucker-footed Bat
The Madagascar Sucker-footed Bat, Old World Sucker-footed Bat, or Sucker-footed Bat (Myzopoda aurita and Myzopoda schliemanni) is a species of bat in the Myzopodidae family. It is monotypic within the genus Myzopoda. It is endemic to Madagascar. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Pygmy Marmoset
The Pygmy Marmoset (Callithrix (Cebuella) pygmaea) is a monkey native to the rainforest canopies of western Brazil, southeastern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, and eastern Peru. It is one of the smallest primates, with its body length ranging from 14-16 cm (excluding the 15-20 cm tail) and the smallest monkey. Males weigh around 140 g (5 ounces), and females only 120 g (4.2 ounces).
TDespite its name, the Pygmy Marmoset is somewhat different from the typical marmosets classified in genus Callithrix. As such, it is accorded its own subgenus, which was formerly recognized as its own genus, Cebuella.
TThe Pygmy Marmoset has a tawny coat, and a ringed tail that can be as long as its body. Their claws are specially adapted for climbing trees, a trait unique to the species. They are omnivorous, feeding on fruit, leaves, insects, and sometimes even small reptiles. Much of their diet, however, comes from tapping trees for sap. Up to two-thirds of their time is spent gouging tree bark to reach the gummy sap. The Pygmy Marmoset has specialized incisors for gouging holes in bark. Unfortunately, because of its small size, and its swift movements, it is very hard to observe in the wild.
TIn captivity, the Pygmy Marmoset can live up to 11 years.
Blobfish
The blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus) is a fish that inhabits the deep waters off the coasts of Australia and Tasmania. Due to the inaccessibility of its habitat, it is rarely seen by humans.
Blobfish are found at depths where the pressure is several dozens of times higher than at sea level, which would likely make gas bladders inefficient. To remain buoyant, the flesh of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy on swimming. The relative lack of muscle is not a disadvantage as it primarily swallows edible matter that floats by in front it.
Platypus
The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. It is the sole living representative of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species have been found in the fossil record.
The bizarre appearance of this egg-laying, duck-billed mammal baffled naturalists when it was first discovered, with some considering it an elaborate fraud. It is one of the few venomous mammals; the male Platypus has a spur on the hind foot which delivers a poison capable of causing severe pain to humans. The unique features of the Platypus make it an important subject in the study of evolutionary biology and a recognizable and iconic symbol of Australia; it has appeared as a mascot at national events and is featured on the reverse of the Australian 20 cent coin.
Until the early 20th century it was hunted for its fur, but it is now protected throughout its range. Although captive breeding programs have had only limited success and the Platypus is vulnerable to the effects of pollution, it is not under any immediate threat.
via Wiki
Shoebill
The Shoebill, Balaeniceps rex also known as Whalehead is a very large bird related to the storks. It derives its name from its massive shoe-shaped bill.
The Shoebill is a very large bird, averaging 1.2 m (4 ft) tall, 5.6 kg (12.3 lbs) and 2.33 m (7.7 ft) across the wings. The adult is mainly grey, the juveniles are browner. It lives in tropical east Africa, in large swamps from Sudan to Zambia.
The Shoebill was added rather recently to the ornithological lists; the species was only discovered in the 19th century when some skins were brought to Europe. It was not until years later that live specimens reached the scientific community. The bird was known to both ancient Egyptians and Arabs however. There exist Egyptian images depicting the Shoebill while the Arabs referred to the bird as abu markub, which means one with a shoe. Clearly, this refers to the striking bill.
Yeti Crab
Kiwa hirsuta is a crustacean discovered in 2005 in the South Pacific Ocean. This decapod, which is approximately 15 cm (6 inches) long, is notable for the quantity of silky blond setae (resembling fur) covering its pereiopods (thoracic legs, including claws). Its discoverers dubbed it the "yeti lobster" or "yeti crab"[2].
K. hirsuta was discovered in March 2005 by a group organised by Robert Vrijenhoek of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in Monterey, California, using the submarine DSV Alvin, operating from RV Atlantis[3]. The discovery was announced on the 7th of March, 2006. It was found 1,500 km (900 miles) south of Easter Island in the South Pacific, at a depth of 2,200 m (7,200 feet), living on hydrothermal vents along the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge[4]. Based on both morphology and molecular data, the species was deemed to form a new genus and family (Kiwaidae). The animal has strongly reduced eyes that lack pigment, and is thought to be blind.
The 'hairy' pincers contain filamentous bacteria, which the creature may use to detoxify poisonous minerals from the water emitted by the hydrothermal vents where it lives. Alternatively, it may feed on the bacteria, although it is thought to be a general carnivore[2]. Its diet also consists of green algae and small shrimp.

To me, the wide variation in animal types and forms shown here prove that this couldn't have happened by chance...there is a great creator! Sorry to seem like the preacher type |
| Jesus_camP 2007-08-08 21:12:50 |
Dude, this like so definitely happened by "chance". http://www.400monkeys.com/God/ |

dudes - this like so happened by chance by the creator. |
| Dreamstuff Entity 2007-08-09 02:45:49 |
Lana: No, I don't agree. You misspelled "nature". No gods were involved in the making of these animals. |
| Dragonfly 2007-08-09 02:55:35 |
Cool pictures! what about the Vampire Octopus and the Ocean Sunfish? they are pretty strange too! |
| obily 2007-08-09 03:43:56 |
good to see this amount of funniest animals in the palnet. |
| DexX 2007-08-09 08:45:01 |
Personally I wouldn't put my faith in a "creator" who made bizarre animals just for a laugh. Religious rubbish aside, good work, but there's no way all of the world's strangest animals will fit onto one page. There are too many freaky ones! A lot of the weirdest don't even look weird. For example, the koala just looks like a cute teddy bear, but few people outside Australia realise that they never drink water - all the water in their diet come sfrom gum leaves. Also, the eucalyptus oil has a narcotic effect, so koalas are literally stoned all the time. Weird but true. |
| bonio 2007-08-09 10:10:41 |
Tapir is OK |
| 2 cents 2007-08-09 10:37:56 |
wonderful creation by an intelligent and awesome God. They look different, but obviously were not just "put" together - but had a well thought out creator. |
| Judy 2007-08-09 10:44:15 |
Thes wonderful animals and fish prove that one can adapt to anything and live. Many lessons for humankind here! |
| Maggie 2007-08-09 10:50:52 |
These animals are freaky weird! |

the blobfish was so weird and so was the yeti crab |
| Stona 2007-08-09 15:37:20 |
Owsome creatures :D |
| koshermal 2007-08-09 17:34:08 |
DexX - They also blow up in forestfires. Quite sad, but you have to admit, exploding koalas is rather amusing. |
| cousinskeeter 2007-08-09 22:09:35 |
Look at the muscle definition of the blobfish.. it must work out regularly |

@Ross-a-fly: You forgot the frilled-neck-lizard. That isn't really that weird. Also, the sloth is most weird not because of it's appearance, but because it's SO SLOW. It grows moss in it's fur it's so slow! (yes, that's why it's greenish) |

i can see a cartoonish resemblance to all of these from the story books and tv wheni was a child |
| breezy 2007-08-10 09:51:35 |

Hm. Amusing. Odd that Jimmy Krankie isn't on there. Entertaining collection, though. |

This is a very informative page and I loved reading it. Congratulations on a fabulous compilation! |

Interesting page, so much weird animals :-) |

does the picture of the hagfish remind anyone of that famous picture of batboy from the national enquirer |

gee i wonder what god was smoking when he created these animals! these are defently unique |
| Nizar 2007-08-12 10:09:20 |
This shown that God is great, and he create creatures as he want. in Quran, "And he creates what you don't know". God is wise. |
| joe 2007-08-12 10:16:05 |
WOW nice pics XD |
| lorraine 2007-08-12 17:27:30 |
My Grandson and I really enjoyed the pictures! Some are odd but cute. Thanks for sharing with us. |
| jesus was gay 2007-08-12 17:44:18 |
god didnt create any of these animals...evolution did, wake up ignorant bible thumpers. Science provides all the proof you need, try reading a book that doesn't have the word bible in the title. |
| shumi 2007-08-12 17:45:22 |
great page |
| Jesus is Lord 2007-08-12 22:16:32 |
God is the creator of ALL things. There has never been an account/proof of something invalidating anything in the Bible. |
| its me 2007-08-12 22:27:29 |
the bible is the greatest work of fiction known to man |
| Patti 2007-08-12 22:37:39 |
This page is great!!! I also think these are all rather cute. I suppose "weirdness is in the eyes of the beholder." |
| Yaira 2007-08-12 22:41:43 |
Wow, they're all amazing! So many questions! Like how the heck do you say Axolotl??? And did someone stick that rabbit in a dryer?! Was the blob fish an inspiration for the movie? Can someone please deflate that poor octopus? It looks a bit constipated... and the Narwhal looks like one of those legendary sea monsters they used to draw in ancient maps right near the end of the world... weird! |
| sara 2007-08-12 22:50:20 |
these pix are amazing, and God is the creator of these animals He created everything and everyone, someone needs to read it. again, i was truly amazed and had to show everyone. thanks! |
| keith 2007-08-12 23:00:41 |
its so amazing how God made these cool animals!! |
| emily 2007-08-12 23:29:46 |
beck!odelay hahahh why does everything have to turn into an argument about god vs. evolution these days? some of us are going to believe god exists until the moment we die, and some of us are going to think we came into being through other happenings... and no matter what you guys say to one another, it wont change anyone's mind. your pride in your convictions isnt going to further your point, it's going to piss everyone else off. |
| Hailey 2007-08-13 00:43:48 |
Wow, amazing and so cool! And Brian, the platypus IS there. four up from the bottom.... |

| joey 2007-08-13 16:01:33 |
I love it, yet maybe you should add human to the list... you know the weird bald bipedal ape that coats itself in material -what the f**k is that all about? |
| Chisaku 2007-08-13 19:50:10 |
I agree with emily, it's useless to keep fighting about is God real or not! >____< Hahahah, Blobfish. *gurgle, wobble, gurgle.* I guess he didn't feel so good at his last moments. xD The Alpaca and the Sun bear are really cute! Dumbo Octopus... Mruahahahahaa... Looks like someone watched a little too much Digimon while creating these. ^O^ If I see a bunny like that, I would buy it on that moment. =) |

| magkdrmr 2007-08-14 08:44:40 |
Personally, I believe God created all things. However, the point of this page was to show people some interesting and quite astounding photographs of the amazing Animal Kingdom that we are blessed to share in. Please, just allow us to enjoy the pictures without all the rhetoric and bickering. Maybe if you open your minds and closed your mouths you might - by some miracle- forget about your Id and Ego and allow the beauty of Nature, in all its unusual forms, to make impression in your soul. |
| nina 2007-08-14 11:41:17 |
frreeeaaakkkkkeee and kind of nasty ...but seriuosly i never thought any kind of animals would look like that amayzing .. |
| nina 2007-08-14 11:45:30 |

that is so shweeet! these animals are so cool and wierd |
| Susan 2007-08-14 18:47:52 |
Jeesh. It's possible to believe in both God and evolution. You don't think God is smart enough to make it so animals could adapt with time? |
| mike 2007-08-14 19:30:53 |
you are missing the Vampirotoothus, featured on Planet Earth |
| bob1 2007-08-14 20:16:37 |
there is no way that a god would create something so damn ugly like the hagfish. but good for us that he isn't real. because now we get variety |
| Marilyn 2007-08-14 21:56:02 |
e no no che adonde estaba yo ..que nunca los pude ver??? ey que cosa tan magnifica es la naturaleza y Dios que los creo... :) bue ojala tuviera un Dumbo Octopus 8 es pikachuuuuuuu) jajajajajajajjajajajajaajajajajajajajaja |
| Lis 2007-08-14 22:01:54 |
Wow! Some of these animals are amazing. I read this whole page. I want a pet red panda, so cute. |
| John 2007-08-15 05:59:28 |
Rare and good photos. Only sad that the next generations don't have the opportunity to see them alive. The human will destroy it all,- soon or later |
| Gil 2007-08-15 06:28:37 |
Alpaka is not weird. Nice page though |
| chucknorris 2007-08-15 06:56:58 |
even chuck likes those pix |
| Sonia Thompson 2007-08-15 09:44:07 |
WOW! what fantastic creatures. We do live in a wonderful world full of beautiful and exotic creatures. We humans are also beautiful, if we would only grasp our uniqueness and react to it. Love and Peace to all. |
| max 2007-08-15 10:50:12 |
how did this turn into a religious debate. why did god have to create them for them to look weird. that doesn't even make sense. |
| Tinker Bell 2007-08-15 11:50:33 |
wow those were some freakin weird animals |
| KDCNVOA 2007-08-15 13:02:16 |

| Mils 2007-08-16 00:27:31 |
Funky pictures and I'm a zoologist!Maybe he meant that Jesus was a happy kinda of a guy, not homosexual or maybe he didn't. But come on anonamous you really shouldn't sink to calling some one nasty names (especially retard). But what do I know, I'm agnostic and I came for the wicked pistures anyway! |
| yellofeevuh 2007-08-16 01:06:05 |
where's the capibarra? |
| Dino God Dick Dude 2007-08-16 01:11:11 |
I heard Jesus fag'd out with a Dino-bot...... The Dino-bot was a homo and Jesus couldn't spell. Unicorn's should have definitely been on this list. Where's the Unicorn?......... Who made this list? Was it God? Did God make this list? If he did (and he is a he) he's definitely a fag! |
| Daniel 2007-08-16 03:43:30 |
awesome! |
| Disappointed 2007-08-16 03:53:45 |
Pssshhh... this list is a total farce. It's almost all mammals, and somehow you STILL didn't include the naked mole rat? Shameful. Just shameful. |
| God is dead 2007-08-16 04:00:15 |
To all the god-bots: Not everything has to be seen through the filter of 3,500 year old bronze-age mythology. Nature is awesome and the evolutionary process is a stunning example of emergent complexity, don't belittle the wonders of the universe by claiming that your favourite invisible sky fairy magicked all of this into existence in one day. Stop letting others think for you and educate yourselves. And to all the hand-wringing agnostics: don't appease the religious by claiming their infantile beliefs deserve some sort of special protection. You wouldn't tiptoe around an adult who claims that Santa Claus is real - and Santa Claus doesn't threaten you with eternal torture for not 'believing in him' |
| Disappointed 2007-08-16 04:04:36 |
Also, you forgot the fearsome Vampire Squid. Utterly shameful. |
| Silendriel 2007-08-16 06:34:41 |
Ha ha ha. . .Really cool animals. There must be a good explanation why some of them look soo strange like that blobfish! Eew! But i gotta say it, the dreds on that Komodor Sheperd Dog is way cool! Which gives me an idea, I could do that to myblack poodle then he'd look like captain Jack Sparrow!! Ha ha ha!! |
| Ekim 2007-08-16 07:58:33 |
I Love the Axolotl And Blobfish |
| Atheist 2007-08-16 08:53:42 |
Great post "God is dead." Except that he/she/it was never alive. The diversity of animal life is testament to evolutionary adaption, driven mostly by genetic rearrangements and mutational events. |
| Gods Child 2007-08-16 09:37:32 |
Did it ever occur to you atheists and God deniers that evolution was the tool that God used to create all these creatures in the first place. It is a great pity he allowed such scum as yourselves to surface through the evolutionary path. But then again you would probably fit right in with the above group of freaky animals anyway!! The Blob fish looks like an atheist to me...... God loves you anyway even if you deny him. I'll prey for you... God Bless. |
| Darwin anyone? 2007-08-16 10:50:14 |
I love it how pictures of interesting creatures, who have evolved over thousands of years, lead so many people to comment on how great god is. Get real people. Time to wake up and smell the octopus, dumbo. |
| affs 2007-08-16 11:13:19 |
lol haha those were some weird scary ugly animals haha they blew me out of my chair!! OMG they were HIDEOUS! but they cant help that they look soo.................:) |

Awww poor things!!!! they have to suffer looking at themselves jk!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) hahaahahahaha |
| AfR 2007-08-16 11:17:48 |
if were a movie youd be the right guy and id be the best friend youd fall in love with in the end youlll protect me then youd be the one to sing that happy song!!! lol that has nothing to do with the animals above i felt like singing hannah montana!!! hahaha you hsve to admit that was funny!!!!!!!! :D |
| A-wizzle 2007-08-16 11:31:44 |
Wow, AfR is a weirdo. I wonder if she has boogers. |
| Daniel 2007-08-16 11:39:09 |
i don't know how there is still people willing to debate creationists, it's just not worth it. it really is like trying to explain an analphabet how to read poetry, they just didn't have the proper education. the pics are awesome and they changed my world. |
| Stakhanov 2007-08-16 11:56:09 |
Why can't people leave God out of this...I don't care if you attribute these animals to a God or Gods, this is not the place to discuss it, go to a religious page or an atheist page to discuss theology please. Cool animals. Very interesting, and I have seen many of them before but there were definitely some neat one. Agreed about the Red Panda though, although one of my favorite animals it is a fairly normal zoo attraction... |
| Kathleen 2007-08-16 12:20:41 |
What wondeful photographs! Still, why does the commentary have to be marred by a religious debate? I am continually amazed and sickened to find that Christian fundamentalists are the least likely to adhere to that most Christian principle: TOLERANCE. Peace to all, whatever you believe. |
| jairo 2007-08-16 12:40:59 |
amazing! great stuff |
| Some Dude 2007-08-16 14:41:19 |
Kathleen, TOLERANCE isn't a Christian principle. The Bible plainly states that God hates anyone who doesn't worship him and follow his laws and that he will torture them eternally in Hell. At least the intolerant Christians are being honest about their religion. I thank God every day that he only exists in my imagination. Incidentally, there are only about three really weird critters on this list. I'd much rather read more about some of the deep-sea life pictured in that bogus email that claims they were washed up by the Indian Ocean tsunami. |
| Not true 2007-08-16 14:52:50 |
em...clearly ssme of these are made up animals, very well done interspersed with real animals, but come on people, did you read this? Hagfish? Star-nosed mole? Very good joke!! |
| ricky 2007-08-16 15:44:19 |
great animals |
| Graeme 2007-08-16 15:51:26 |
Amazing ! ;-) Funny ! And so beautiful !... |
| That's not true, Not true 2007-08-16 16:05:31 |
The star-nosed mole and hagfish are both real animals. In fact, the star-nosed mole has been extensively studied because of its many unique traits, such as its lightning-fast tentacles which allow it to eat swarms of tiny insects. Here's a reference from Nature, which (along with Science) is one of the two most famous of all the peer-reviewed scientific journals. <br> <br> http://www.nature.com/nature/links/050203/050203-9.html <br> <br> And the hagfish? He's famous because the thick, sticky slime he secretes is comparable in strength to spider silk. (How'd you like that? A hagfish slime-silk T-shirt.) |
| kajuroe 2007-08-16 17:28:51 |
Gods child? Which current day god is your god? Maybe you still believe in one of the hundreds of gods that have been dis proven throughout history. If not, yours will be dis proven as well very soon. I hope you enjoy "preying" for us you dumb ass. Cool pics posted here. |
| ..... 2007-08-16 18:14:08 |
God's Child, I hope you look back and realize how bigoted and ful that comment was. You give a bad name to the few good Christians out there (and I say that as an agnostic). Anyways, I love that Red Panda. ^_^ |
| yeti crab's uncle 2007-08-16 20:34:18 |
that's so funny. I love looking at those animals. Let's do it a second time round. |
| Lucille 2007-08-16 23:53:49 |
The people who brought this collection together, - deserve a healthy 'HURRAH ' ! indeed. ---- Thank you all, very much. Now, - how about a collection of 'Weird people' ? - as your next project. |
| Meh 2007-08-17 00:08:57 |
Haha! This page rocks. Keep adding more! :D |
| Jay 2007-08-17 00:30:55 |
Believe it or not but ALL of the animals posted here are real. If you watch Animal Planet or Discovery channel they have had at least 50% of these animals on there. And it is really sad how a web page to show people really cool creatures turns into an argument about God and non believers of God. If you actually think that the world and everything was created without a higher power your crazy. The list of animals was really well put together. Good job! |
| Jay 2007-08-17 00:55:24 |
One more thing I forgot to add, here is a link to show how evolution happened. Seriously, if you believe in evolution or God copy this link, very detailed. I think this is the closest proof that evolution created everything......http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7079290349652755994 |

The tarsiers can be seen in my country, the Philippines. Do visit the country. Aside from rare animals, you will also see rare plants. Make sure you go to Mt. Makiling for the rare plants and for the animals, in Palawan. |

The average intelligence level of people 1000 years ago were much lower compared to the intelligence level of the people today. Also, the majority of the people 1000 years ago believe in a god(s) but today there are fewer and fewer believers. Now lets represent the people of the past to a children. The majority of children believes in Santa Claus. However, as they get older and smarter they of course reason that the existence of such a being is impossible. So just like today, the smarter people reason that the existence of God is impossible. Infact "Most studies of the hightly educated and scientists show a higher proportion of atheists and non-believers." |

| Masticus 2007-08-17 09:41:07 |
To all you people that think god is some consious being, while its true that nothing has ever been shown to disprove anything in the bible, it is also true that nothing has been shown to validate it. your arguement is sound, however it defeats itself. |
| FE 2007-08-17 10:57:47 |
These animals are amazing and so beautiful!!! |
| God 2007-08-17 11:18:01 |
I did not make the animals they evoled for single cells LAMO i beleve in god but sceince is right and there is no proof that god is real |
| shivers 2007-08-17 12:45:12 |
Actually, I knew of quite a few of these thanks to me playing "Let's Explore the Jungle with Buzzy the Knowledge Bug" when I was younger. I guess I DID learn something from those educational games! |

How'd they get a pic of my ex-husband???? Now, in defense of the Alpaca, that white one had been sheared, lol. They are usually really cute! And, I think that rabbit was wearing my favorite sweater! |
| Tina 2007-08-17 17:13:32 |
Greg, Michael Jackson is hiding under the Angora bunny! Didn't ya see the sign "Neverland Ranch or Bust!", lol? How else could he get near a playground without dressing up in disguise like a bunny? |

Blob fish is sooo cool |
| Alpha Omega 2007-08-17 17:41:23 |
Ever notice how retarded alpacas look? I don't know if it's natural but they always seem to have messed up teeth and a awkward jaw. |
| Ignorant American 2007-08-17 17:45:04 |
That blob fish has a bugger coming out of its droopy mouth. |
| Bill 2007-08-17 17:48:41 |
The Yeti crab is certainly my favorite, I wonder how many people have actually seen one before. |
| Steve 2007-08-17 17:57:29 |
I thing the Frilled Shark should be on the top 25, search it and you will see. It will be the weirdest sh***t you have ever seen, besides the Blobfish. |

those are soooooo very odd animals!!!!!!! |
| Messafint 2007-08-17 19:56:42 |
who are you comparing them to call them 'the worlds weirdest animals'? I wonder what do they think of us? |
| Moi! 2007-08-17 20:13:55 |
G, obviously you didn't read carefully enough, because they did include it. >.> |

the tarseir is just adorable! |

Great page, it kept me entertained. Alpacas are very common now in the USA. Not too many Americans would agree that they are weird. AAMOF there are two Alpaca farms within a mile of my rural farm, upper midwest USA. |

The sloth acts that way due to the vegitation is eats, it has some of the same products as weed, so sloths are slow and wide eyed due to being high :) |
| Jack 2007-08-18 00:45:42 |
OMG IS THE BLOB FISH REAL?!?! It looks so coooool! |
| lolabunny 2007-08-18 00:55:55 |
my fav pic is of the sloth he's like ..dude whats up |
| Rudigar 2007-08-18 01:50:13 |
Bizarre. Quite a few I'd seen before though. Surely a frilled neck lizard is not that strange. |
| niels 2007-08-18 04:39:26 |

and I thought humans looked strange ! |
| dodo 2007-08-18 07:08:32 |
i agree with magkdrmr. what the f*ck is wrong with you people. who cares if you think these animals are created by a God, ID or evolution.. especially if you just claim something to be true without argument or proof of any kind. Just enjoy life, and all of natures creations, and dont bother other people with your (often narrow-minded) view on the world and/or its creation. these animals make you realise that is not in outer space that we must look for life. but let us first discover the life on our own planet. |

Dammit, why did people have to bring faith and religion into this? Just enjoy the weird animals and comment about them and keep your f***cking opinions about life to yourself, I don't wanna read that sh***t. |
| Scott 2007-08-18 08:37:23 |
Those are soo awsome :P |
| Pissed 2007-08-18 08:53:22 |
bloody hell, instead of coming out wiv brash comments do sum of ure own research and u can plainly see they are all real. PLUS f***ck off to tht person who sed they would pray for atheists- i have news for you moron-WE ARE ATHEISTS tht stuff dont work on us, if my own catholic grandmother can accept people dont believe in religion then u pricks can as well, not calling all religious people pricks just the ones who try and impart their faith on others |
| Pissed 2007-08-18 08:54:35 |
also sorri im gettin involved wiv this religion vs science stuff but tht is human nature, we just cant help ourselves |

| Ryski_59 2007-08-18 12:00:31 |
I have seen 16 out of the 22 listed. and tapiers are pretty common. you should add the okipai, a relative of the giraffe. |

What about Brain Coral, which is a animal despite being named after coral. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_coral |

they look like pokemons |
| Devin 2007-08-18 14:59:45 |
Actually, not many of these are that weird. I've studied alot of these fascinating creatures. Red Pandas (Adorable)sloth, platypus, expecially the narwhal. They are replacing so many strange animals with these ones that most of us have seen before. But pretty cool page. |
| Snave 2007-08-18 15:10:10 |
uuuhhh..G? the platypus is there..... |

Lol, I knew about all those already. They are quite awesome though. The tarsier is so cute. :) There is also a kind of jellyfish that is actually a colonial creature, made of a bunch of different creatures that find each other and form groups of creatures to form one jellyfish. That could be on here. |
| Micali 2007-08-18 19:54:33 |

The god comments from ignorant bible-sucking morons on here are so extreme that it beggars belief. My mind has been comprehensively blown after reading the sh***t some of these ignorant tards spew out on god and how wonderful he is in creating these creatures. You bible bashers really are dumber than sh***t, and I now have a better understanding as to why you are labelled the scourge of America. |
| rachel 2007-08-18 22:02:37 |
i laughed so hard at these. the aye-aye is the scariest thing ever. the pygmy was hilarious |
| jake 2007-08-18 22:15:01 |

| Joe 2007-08-18 22:53:03 |
Holy cow. Blob fish? Aye-ayes may seem cute to some people, but seriosly, ew. There is no way I'll ever get any one of those as a pet. (shudder) |
| kelplover 2007-08-18 22:57:54 |
Yeah, we were lucky enough to see a red panda out for a walk on a leash w/ a zookeeper last year at the San Diego Zoo. There is a gigantic shoebill at the Wild Animal Park in Escondido. There were several animals I had not previously seen! I watch every doggone animal show there is! Oh. A nickname for the frill-necked lizard is the "Jesus Lizard," because it walks on waterr. AXOLTL AYE AYE DUMBO OCTOPUS BLOBFISH |
| mary 2007-08-18 23:04:26 |

| john p 2007-08-18 23:25:41 |
Does anyone have any good recipes? Is it possible to dry out the blobfish and process it into a snack chip? I've heard pygmy marmosets are good eatin', but they're high in saturated fat. |
| s0ul 2007-08-19 00:26:30 |
My family raises alpacas. I would hardly name them amongst the world's weirdest. |
| Patricia 2007-08-19 00:43:14 |
Hey I'm sure the Blobfish is quite appealing to other Blobfish. (probably what we humans look like at those depths ;-p ) |
| dude 2007-08-19 01:13:34 |
frilled lizzards are cool |
| purplebuggy 2007-08-19 01:39:03 |
The frilled-neck lizard is not known by Australians as a "bicycle lizard." I love watching them run but unfortunately they have bad road awareness so they often run into cars doing it. But awesome site apart from that. Never heard of the blobfish and it sound really funky! I'd love to see a picture of it underwater! |

Some of the most religious people in the world are the true believing athiest evolutionists. It's an interesting religion based on a high priesthood of intellectuals. It allows for a general focus on the short term future. There is no hope for life after death. Extending life beyond the current 100 years is the main hope for the future. The high priesthoood extends promises in various ways of extending this future through technology so that everlasting life (the focus of nearly all religions) becomes a theoretical possibility - a vague hope which is sufficient for most humans, enabling them to avert their eyes from the quickly approaching demise that awaits them. |
| Dallas 2007-08-19 10:40:41 |
It really is amazing what we find in nature. I think this page would be better if you included more deep-sea creatures (I think usually more interesting) from the benthic zone and also... one of biggest reasons a sloth is so weird (aside from his looks) is that they are so SLLOOOWWW. Overall, wonderful job! It was great getting to see some of the oddest creatures out there! |
| baxtaber 2007-08-19 10:55:35 |
Man, I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the Blobfish. It looks like the melted face of some really ugly fat dude. Nice pics! |
| lyndy 2007-08-19 12:03:35 |
some cute others ugly and creepy my favourite ones are the shoebill,tarsier,dumbo octopus and the pygmy mormoset there the best |
| bzarre1 2007-08-19 12:58:21 |
Amazing, most seem to resemble something Steven Spielberg or Disney would create. Now we know where they get their ideas, life itself |
| Patricia 2007-08-19 13:15:47 |
Susan, if 'god' is so powerful why take the looooooooooooooooooooooong route and make them "adapt" throught the ages? Intelligent design? Duh. And the debate continues until humankind disappears from the face of the earth. They are all beautiful. Just some seem strange as we are not familar with them. I'm sure when we bend over to take a close look at an ant hill the ants look up and go "Ack! That's an ugly creature!" |
| leela 2007-08-19 17:32:32 |
a lot of those animals are endangered. maybe it's because they're funny looking. |
| Jordan 2007-08-19 18:34:49 |

| Matsta 2007-08-19 19:05:54 |
Great page!! That scary little nocturnal mammal with the finger thing!! Ive seen them on discovery or summit. The poor things actually have to mate and lets be honest do you think they must enjoy it looking like that?! Aawww and what about that poor blob fish. Floating in the dark just waitng for summit to drift by to eat. How exciting!! |

| Mike Sinclaire 2007-08-20 20:56:01 |
Damn, I was stunned when I saw the axolotl, if anybody here has read Frank Herbert's Dune books, then you'll understand my excitement. Truly a great page though. |

| Towlie 2007-08-21 03:21:22 |
This page makes me wonder about all those people that can look at this page and just brush it aside as uninteresting nature 'stuff'. Many of these creatures and a lot more from deep sea look like they could come from another planet. I bet if we discover life outside our solar system and we get an image of an extra terrestrial that looks just like a Blob fish everyone would freak out at the cool alien and want to learn more. That kind of makes me sad. Oh ... and to all believers and non-believers that feel the need to express their thoughts on random comments pages; "YOUR A TOWEL!!!!" |
| SDZ 2007-08-21 04:24:44 |
the axolotl looks JUST like a "Wooper" from Pokйmon (which ALSO bears a resemblance 2 a "Mudkip"), the dumbo octopus looks quite a bit like a "Pikachu," but w/o the long tail, the platypus is almost the same as a "Psyduck," blobfish = MU-MU-MU-MUK!! (YUCK) |
| Dee 2007-08-21 06:23:01 |

Nothing weird about the Alpaca. I have one as a pet. Splendid animal, and taste great too. |

Hmmm...frankly the comments are actually weirder than the animals. |

they're all cute. nothing weird. it would be weird if a monkey has 3 legs and 3 arms. |
| mr. jack 2007-08-22 12:38:42 |
weirder if an octopus has 7 tentacles. it would be then called heptapus? |

Did Santa Claus make these animals? Cause if so, that totally rocks. I want an Aye-Aye in my stocking this year to celebrate my pagan holiday where we dress up a tree to celebrate the birth of Jesus. |

Great list! but what about the cuttlefish? I think it's weirder and more awesome than some of the creatures noted here. C'mon, it has an W-shaped pupil and skin that can change colour, pattern and texture! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuttlefish |

Those are some freaked out animals but what about the cuttlefish thing looks like an alien that changes shape with full motion color on its skin moves in all directions and hunts with a hand like thing on the end of a tenticle |
