You may think you've seen the world all over, under, around and through, but there will still be wonders to make your eyes pop. Even if you're a devoted animal lover, you can't honestly expect to learn all of the 1,367,555 non-insect animal species that are found on Earth's face today! Besides, by the time you finish reading this text, new animal species might be discovered.
Just 5 percent of the oceans have been explored by humans, so there are potentially many more frightening sea creatures hiding in the water.
Here is a list of 10 strange animals you probably never heard about and will probably not see any time soon prancing around your backyard.
1. Glaucus Atlanticus
This creature, also known as the blue dragon, is a blue sea slug type. It can be found in warm ocean waters because it floats on the surface due to a gassed bag in its stomach.
2. The Pacu Fish
Pacu ni samaki ambaye anapatikana zaidi Marekani Kusini. Anaishi kwenye maji baridi, pia anakula kila kitu ‘omnivorous’
Samaki huyu anashabihiana na Piranha. Tofauti ya Pacu na Piranha ni meno yao, Piranha ana meno yaliyochongoka huku Pacu akiwa na meno yanayofanana na mwanadamu
Pacu anaweza kukua hadi kufikia urefu wa mita 1.08 na akawa na uzito wa kg 40
3. The Saiga Antelope
Huyu ni aina ya swala wa pekee kwa umbo la pua zao. Wanaweza kukua hadi kufikia urefu wa sentimita 80 na uzito wa kilogram 40
Swala hawa wako hatarini kupotea kwa maeneo mengi duniani kwa kuwa wamekuwa wakiwindwa sana.
Kwa sasa wako katika sehemu chache hasa Urusi, Uzbekhstan, Mongolia na Kazakhstan
4. The Bush Viper
As a predator of carnivores, the Bush Viper lives in the tropical African forests, hunting most of the night.
5. The Blue Parrotfish
In the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, this blue fish spends 80 percent of its time looking for food.
6. Shoebill
Because of the shape of its beak this large stork-like bird has its name. Even though ancient Egyptians and Arabs knew it, the bird was classified only in the nineteenth century.
7. Narwhal
The Inuit people have cherished this toothed whale in the Arctic for their meat and ivory for over 1000 years. However, the narwhal is especially vulnerable to climate change.
8. Red-lipped Batfish
This fish was discovered on Galapagos Islands and is actually a pretty poor swimmer and walks on the bottom of the ocean with its pectoral fins.
9.Sea Pig
Scotoplanes live on deep ocean floors particularly at depths of more than 1000 meters in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean Abyssal Plains. It is sediment feeder and it gets food from deep-sea mud through the removal of organic particles.
10. Penis Snake
This eyeless strange animal is known as Eiselti Atretochoana. The amphibian is huge, possibly aquatic, with a big flax head and a body fleshy dorsal fine.
