In nature, there are actually creatures with very strange appearance that you think forever and still don’t understand why they look… like that. Let’s take a look at some funny but equally adorable animals.

1. Pangolins

One of the most beautiful and fascinating animals in the world, the pangolin is the only mammal in the world with scales. Their large and long claws allow them to dig underground burrows for shelter and dig nests of ants and termites to eat, while also helping to dig up and aerate the soil. This improves the nutrient quality of the soil and aids decomposition, providing a good substrate for lush vegetation to grow.

Pangolins are nocturnal, spending their days curled up in their nests and exploring the world under the moonlight. These solitary animals are often picky eaters, and will often wait to get what they like rather than snacking on something they don’t like.

2. Glaucus Atlanticus

This green dragon, also known as the blue sea snail, or scientifically known as Glaucus Atlanticus, looks like a brooch.

They spend most of their lives floating in the blue waters of the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. What makes them able to float on the water are the air balloons under their bellies.

Blue dragons are hermaphrodites. When mating, both of them lay eggs. They lay their eggs on drifting wood or on the bones of enemies.

When brought out of the water, this species tends to curl up until it returns to the aquatic environment.

It looks like a rare and difficult Pokemon to name.

3. Jerboa Mouse

This rat is shaped like a kangaroo but has very large ears. Scientists say they captured the images during an expedition to study the endangered species.

The Jerboa breed has huge ears that are 1/3 larger than the head, and the legs are also modified to easily move in the desert by jumping like a kangaroo.

The World Federation of Animal Conservation has listed this Jerboa rat in the list of rare animals

4. Octopus Dumbo

The Dumbo octopus has the scientific name Grimpoteuthis. They are known for their strangely shaped heads, with fins protruding from them like the ears of the flying elephant Dumbo in the 1941 Walt Disney animated film of the same name. They live at depths of 7,000 meters below. At sea level, this is the deepest water animal ever discovered. It is the complete lack of light and extreme water pressure that cause this octopus to change its shape strangely.

5. Desert rain frog

This is a small frog with bulging eyes, short nose, short limbs and webbed feet. Their abdomen has a transparent skin, from which internal organs can be seen. The skin is yellow-brown and often sandy. When they feel threatened, they emit low-pitched, high-frequency chirps. This species is found in Namibia and South Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical shrubland and sandy beaches.

They come out of the cave at night, and during the day hide inside the sand cave. Eggs of this frog species are laid in burrows and develop directly into frogs without going through an intermediate stage of development into tadpoles.

Either way, it can’t be denied that it looks both funny and scary.

6. Gerenuk . antelope

The giraffe is called Gerenuk, which in Somali means “giraffe”. They usually live in East Africa.

They have a long neck and are smaller than their head and torso. Thanks to their long necks, they stand picking up edible leaves, using their front legs to reach high branches.

It is estimated that only 95,000 giraffes live in the wild.

7. Pink Fairy Armadillo

This unique animal belongs to the order of carnivores, commonly found in dry grasslands and sandy areas in the central region of Argentina. If threatened, this species has the ability to dig holes to hide in the sand to protect itself.

The Red Fairy Armadillo is a nocturnal animal that digs small holes around ant nests so that ants and eggs can easily fall into these holes. With their claws, they can “turn” on sandy soil and swim away like a torpedo with armor on the head and back.

8. Shoebill Stork

This stork lives in freshwater marshes in southern Sudan, eastern Congo, Uganda and northern Zambia. They stand out because of their statue-like appearance, being able to stand still for a long time.
