How many creatures live in the world, looking at which our mind is surprised at the pranks of nature, no one knows. And if someone thinks the world is absolutely understandable, then the other does not cease to be amazed at the amazing phenomena that exist in real life. Until now, biologists have discovered previously unknown animal species, although it often seems that all organisms in nature are supposedly studied. And all the more interesting to consider the 10 most incredible creatures in the world. Photos of some can be seen below.
Pyrosomes
The first place is occupied by pyrosomes. Most likely, you have never heard of such rare creatures. They live under water, and divers admit that to see them is like meeting a living unicorn. If you look closely at them, you can see that they are huge hollow tubes consisting of the smallest organisms - the zooid. Weaving with each other, they turn into a single, strange-looking organism, floating freely on the bottom of the ocean.
Such creatures can grow to enormous sizes. True, to get inside a hollow pipe is not recommended in order to avoid accidents: it is very easy to get confused and drown there. Interestingly, the pyrosomes, which are among the 10 most incredible creatures in the world, emit fluorescent light. Until now, modern science has little studied these organisms.
Spider crab
The second place is deservedly occupied by a spider crab living on the seabed of Japan and floating to the surface for breeding. Imagine a huge crab on frightening spider legs, growing up to four meters in length. Unlucky is the one who meets the giant face to face, because with claws he can harm anyone.
Stargazer
In third place is a strange creature with tentacles instead of a muzzle. Scientists called this star-bearing this mammal living underground. More than 20 unpleasant pink fleshy growths have unique receptors that are sensitive to insect detection. They replace the creation of the eye, because all the time the stargazer spends in the earth.
Giant isopod
One cannot but mention the giant isopod, which is in fourth place. It is not in vain that he enters the 10 most incredible creatures in the world, but despite the unpleasant appearance resembling a wood lice, he is absolutely harmless.
It seems that anyone would hasten to retreat when he saw this giant the size of a small dog. It is good that they live under water and it is unlikely to see them alive.
Pacu fish
We continue to be at the depths of the sea, and the fifth place is awarded to the Pak fish. What is so incredible about her that she is placed in the top 10 most incredible creatures in the world? It seems that in a personal meeting in a pond the answer would be found instantly. This is the only fish with teeth resembling human. A relative of piranha is not aggressive, but it is better to stay away from the impressive jaws.
Snake caterpillar
Nature does not cease to amaze us with the variety of strange creatures. In the tropics lives the caterpillar Hemeroplanes caterpillar, which is now threatened with extinction. The sixth place in the top was provided by a disguise as a predator. A small creature painted in gray, at the slightest danger, inflates part of the head so that it becomes like a rattlesnake. On top of everything else, it also imitates characteristic outbursts of the head, like a reptile during an attack.
Water deer
Water deer is deprived of the main attribute of its relatives - horns. But nature took care of compensation in the form of fangs, with the help of which a cute creature copes with enemies. He earned the nickname Vampire deer and seventh out of ten.
Goblin shark
It is impossible not to mention the goblin shark, living, fortunately for humans, at great depths. It is not in vain that she is among the 10 most incredible creatures in the world, because when attacked, her terrible jaws move forward. The disgusting appearance with rare sharp teeth and the impressive size of the shark are terrifying even in photographs.
Tongue wood lice
In ninth place is the linguistic wood louse, a relative of the giant isopod. This small parasite settles in the mouth of the fish, gradually replacing its tongue and getting a portion of the food. By the way, the mistress does not even notice the settler. And if the fish does not find prey, then the wood louse is fed by its blood.
