Mother nature is truly unique! How much unknown to the human eye and science does it conceal in its bowels! Whatever living creatures you meet among the diversity of the animal world! After a little leafing through specialized literature, you can find out about the most diverse and sometimes mysterious inhabitants of our planet. Sometimes it can even be difficult to see them the first time.
Unusual animals of the world. Aardvark
Zoologists attribute this creature to the class of mammals. Outwardly, it looks like a kangaroo - its muzzle is elongated forward, and its ears are large and stick up. The aardvark's tail is strong and muscular, also similar to kangaroo. Where this creature lives, he was nicknamed the earthen pig. An adult aardvark reaches one and a half meters in length (excluding a 50-centimeter tail).
Today, these unusual animals of the world grow and are brought up under the supervision of zoologists in the Nairobi National Nursery. By the way, the name "aardvark" this creature received for its not quite ordinary molars. The fact is that they do not have enamel and roots, and their growth never stops!
Unusual animals of the world. Splinter tooth
This is an insectivorous mammal. The length of his body reaches 32 centimeters (excluding the 25-centimeter tail). The slabs weigh about one kilogram. These are poisonous animals. Their poison is hidden in the salivary gland located under the jaw. However, the bite of this animal is dangerous only for its prey (small rodents and insects). To humans, this poison is not deadly. The habitat of these creatures is Latin America, the islands of Haiti and Cuba.
Unusual animals of the world. African civet
This creature is the only representative of the same genus. Habitat - African open spaces. This beast can quite increase in size when tousled in an excited state. It is hunted for the sake of anal odorous glands, which are a very valuable raw material in perfumery. In our country, a female African civet is kept in the Rostov Zoo. She lives alone, because the male was never found …
Unusual animals of Russia. Chupacabra
This truly mysterious and terrible beast lives in our country! However, fierce debate is ongoing about its origin and existence as such. Some believe that this is a mythical fiend of hell, which came to us from a parallel world, while others say that this is a new mutated species of some kind of animal. Be that as it may, there are already many videos proving the existence of this miracle. In the videos you can see how the chupacabra sneaks into the barn or into the corral to the pigs and pounces on them!
Its distinguishing feature is the way of nutrition. She sucks blood from pets. At the same time, it sucks everything from the victim to the last drop, killing her in this way. For this, the chupacabra was nicknamed the goat vampire. But until scientists catch this creature and research it, it is not worth making hasty conclusions.
