The most amazing animal in the world. The most unusual and rare animals of the world

How many amazing creatures dwell together with us on the planet! We know very little about some of them, and for some, acquaintance with man becomes fatal, since after the discovery of some species of animals they began to be exterminated. And yet, we hope that the rare and amazing animals of the planet Earth, which will be described in the article, will long remain an adornment of our world.

The Madagascar Router , named ay-ay

In Madagascar, there is a creature that is classified as a semi-ovoid - ay-ay or a rukonozhka. This is the most amazing animal in the world and, in addition, the rarest in numbers (only 50 individuals). When he first discovered the researcher Pierre Sonner, he decided that he had a rodent in front of him, since his teeth were very similar to squirrels.

The animal grows up to 44 cm, but the fluffy tail grows much longer than its body - up to 60 cm. And the most surprising in the runato are the middle fingers of its forelimbs. It is a multifunctional tool, without which the animal can not do without.

They are using a dapple to clean their fur, drink water (after dipping a finger into it and then licking it) and, most importantly, extracting food. She taps her bark with her finger and finds a suitable place, gnaws through the bark. Then the handkerchief lowers the finger in the hole so that it nails the larva to the claw and sends it to the mouth. In captivity, even after receiving a bowl of sweet syrup, the handkerchiefs turn it over, gnaw through the hole in the bottom, and then drink the syrup with the help of its indispensable finger.

Loneliness - the owner of the biggest eyes

Some researchers believe that the most amazing animals in the world are long-suffering. The appearance of these crumbs is striking. Their body length does not exceed 15 cm, but their eyes are 16 mm in diameter. If such proportions are translated into human growth, then our eyes would be the size of an apple!

Dolgopyat can rotate his head almost 360 °. And animals can communicate with the help of ultrasound. These tiny primates lead a nocturnal life, hunting for insects, while they deftly jump on a branch, throwing their hind legs like a frog. And long fingers with flat pads help them stay and not fall.

Griffin Turtle - a dinosaur that has survived to this day

We are used to the fact that turtles are slow and harmless creatures, but the griffin tortoise will make a change in the established opinion. Outwardly, this most amazing animal of the world looks like a dinosaur that has survived to the present day. Yes, and her character is not honey!

This inhabitant of freshwater rivers of the United States can grow up to 1.5 m, while weighing at the same time will be 80 kg. Her upper jaw is decorated with a "beak", very similar to the beak of the same bird, and in the language this creature has a small constantly moving shoot, very similar to a worm. By the way, it serves as a bait for fish, which the turtle catches, buried in the silt and opening its mouth.

The shell of the tortoise is crowned by three bone crests, similar to a saw, and the tail is only slightly inferior in length to the crocodile. If we add here the numerous warts with which her neck and chin are supplied, as well as the algae covering the shell, the sight of the griffin turtle is very unattractive. But she can stay under water for 50 minutes and has very sharp eyesight.

Fish-drop

In the depths of the ocean there are many bizarre and poorly studied creatures. And the category "the most amazing animal of the world" can safely be attributed to the inhabitant of the deep-water fish-drop. This gelatinous sedentary lump generally only remotely resembles a fish. And almost human discontented look and at all is surprising.

The body of the fish is only 30 cm long, it is devoid of scales and covered with mucus, and the massive head is decorated with a process resembling a drooping nose. The huge mouth of this "beauty" has lips, twisted in a disapproving, squeamish grimace.

Fish-drop does not like to swim. Although her jelly-like body is lighter than water and can safely soar in the ocean, she often simply lies motionless at the bottom and waits patiently until every small living creature swims into her mouth.

By the way, this sea drop eats out its eggs until the fry appears from them. And even after that, she continues to take care of them.

Copepod - the strongest creature of the planet

And in the thickness of the water there live tiny blind crustaceans, whose body length does not exceed 10 mm, are the strongest and fastest animals in the world.

The amazing world of these multicellular communities is closely studied by Danish scientists. They found out that copepods are capable of overcoming the distance of 50 cm per second, which is five hundred times the length of the body of this creature. If such possibilities were possessed by a person, then he could easily jump up a kilometer! This is power! Copepods are 10 or even 30 times stronger than any animal and even a car.

In the jump, copepods develop a speed of up to 6 km / h, and if these parameters are translated into human parameters, it turns out that a person who has a growth of 170 cm could accelerate to a speed of 1000 km / h. Like this!

Crabs also have spiders

In the Pacific Ocean, alongside the shores of Japan, the most amazing animal of the world lives - the spider crab. He weighs almost 20 kg, and the size of his body along with his paws reaches 4 m. True, the body itself is only 35 cm. This crab is considered a long-liver, it is believed that he can live up to 100 years!

Our arthropod giant is so huge that if he wanted to walk along the shore, he would easily step over the van with vacationers. Fortunately, these crabs live only at a decent depth - up to 300 m. And only to lay eggs they rise to a depth of fifty meters.

By the way, if a spider crab loses one of its monstrous legs, then it grows again and at each molt it becomes longer.

The miracle of nature - a fish with a transparent head

The most amazing animals of the planet have in their ranks and a miracle, like a fish with a transparent head. Beings like her are not found all over the world. Her head is covered with a transparent shell and inside is filled with liquid. And the eyes of the fish are inside this "aquarium" and can only look up, in the same place where they should be, the fish have nostrils.

This unreal creature was discovered only in 1939, as it lives at great depths (up to 800 m). But only in 2004, scientists were able to study the life of an amazing animal in more detail.

They found that the fish, seeing from below a suitable object for hunting, becomes vertical, making its eyes, which are in a special liquid, turn, allowing it to be viewed closer and then eat.
