We all agree that Nature is beautiful. But it can also be quite weird. Just when you think you have seen it all, Nature amazes you with another strange creature that lives on this Planet.
Here is a list of weird animals from around the world that will surprise you. Take a look!
Oarfish
Talking about strange animals we cannot miss the oarfish. It is hard to see because it lives at the bottom of the ocean. It was found dead off the coast of Australia and this is how people saw it for the first time. For sure it is not the type of animal you would like to encounter on the beach during your summer vacation.
Frilled shark
This is one of the most unusual animals in the world. It is a prehistoric shark with sharp teeth. It lives in the deepest parts of the ocean, so it is not easy to see one.
Japanese spider crab
The Japanese spider crab is huge and some people even call it Crabzilla. One of the biggest crabs of this kind measured 10 feet from claw to claw.
Naked mole rat
Naked mole rats are weird creatures that live in colonies underground. They are usually found in sub-Saharan Africa and some people even find them cute.
Gharial
The Gharial is a type of crocodile found in India. It is about the size of a man, but a lot more terrifying. It has a huge jaw and needle-like teeth. And this is the type of animal you don’t want to meet.
Mata-Mata Turtle
If you look at this animal you will immediately know why it is called the weirdest turtle ever. It has a very asymmetrical face and it doesn’t look like any other turtle you have seen in your life.
Lamprey
Some people think this is one of the funny looking animals, but it is actually quite strange. It lives in the ocean and appeared near Portland, Oregon.
As you have seen by now, Nature can surprise us in various ways. These are only some of the weird animals we share our planet with. What are the strangest animals you know?
