#10. NAKED MOLE RAT
The naked mole-rat is not that type of animal you see often. The animal has pale skin wrinkled all over and looked like excess weight. Their feet are larger than other rodents and do not bear the same wrinkles. In fact, they have perfectly bright pink feet that carry them around on their overweight bodies. The rodent also has a mouth like a walrus. Tiny tusks are coming out of their face and down to their chins.
#9. SEA PIG
A sea pig is a sea cucumber named after its pink and round body. Are you confused yet? The water-filled sausage can grow up to 15cm, and it is found in every ocean in the world. They eat everything as pigs do.
#8. MANTIS SHRIMP
If you get into a fight with this weird creature, better believe that you are losing. It strikes with the force of a speeding bullet and punches at 23m per second. For the features, we can only classify them as unique. Dr. Martin How of the School of Biological Sciences, University of Bristol, calls it a complex subject to study? When he worked as an advisor on Life in Color, he spoke about the animal, which is neither a shrimp nor a mantis.
#7. RED-LIPPED BATFISH
The red-lipped batfish can be found on the Galapagos Islands, walking the seafloor with its fins as legs. It lives about 75 meters below sea level. The batfish is not a talented swimmer, so it relies on its legs made of fins. The swimming bit might be due to their closeness to bats on land. It thrusts the pelvic fins forward and sues its tail to propel it through the water for swimming purposes.
#6. TARSIER
The Tarsier has each eye as big as its brain. When comparing the eyes to the overall size of the mammal, this is the most inconsistent among all mammals. To illustrate, if the average human had eyes as wide as Tarsiers, they would be the size of grapefruits. Due to the size of their eyes, they are unable to swivel like humans and other mammals. Instead, they have to make a turn of their entire body to a full 180 degrees if they need to look around.
#5. STAR NOSED-MOLE
Think of a nose that is as wide as a palm. The star-shaped nose also has over 25,000 sensory receptors on the nose. These receptors can detect seismic waves and electrical signals from aquatic prey. The nose itself is typical; the tentacle around it gives it a massive representation. This nose looks like a spider created it, or it would like to live in it when things get rough.
#4. GREAT POTOO
And the Oscar goes to, Potoo! We should be grateful that we even know what these animals are. The Great Potoo has never felt the need to be authentic, always in a scripted motion. Its camouflage is to mimic tree stomps while waiting for its prey. It can also pretend to be a tree branch so that unfortunate prey would perch on them.
#3. PACIFIC BARRELEYE FISH
Please take a good look at this fish and tell me what you see. Well, you do not have to say to me because we all thought it was a submarine at first. This fish was first discovered alive in 2004 during a Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute deployed ROV filming. We only saw the Spookfish dead and washed ashore until this live footage.
#2. FLOPPY SNAKE
This amphibian has a phallic posture, although it is not what you are all thinking. If you googled it, you would find that its other name is the part of the male anatomy that is too sexually suggestive for a channel about biology. Wait; is it weird to say the P-word on a channel that keeps talking about male and female animals and their reproduction?
#1. GHOST SHARK
Ghost sharks have only been a part of aquatic vocabulary since 2002. As of 2022, we still do not know much about them. The creatures live in the freezing part of the ocean, between 400 and 6,600 feet down the ocean floor. The name originates from their fins that look like fins and their dead eyes. When people see these creatures, they react as if they have seen a ghost – hence the name. Ghost sharks are not a type of shark. They are fish made of cartilage skeleton for bones. The only similarity between them and actual sharks is that they lay mermaid purses, their egg capsules, on the seafloor as sharks do. In the egg capsule, there is a yolk to feed the offspring until the embryo is fully developed and hatched. Newly hatched ghost sharks have a belly full of yolk at birth. There is so much more than marine biologists could learn about these species, and soon they would. But for now, look at the ghost shark as if you have seen the ghost of a shark.
