Top 10 Strangest Animals in Africa

Top Ten Strangest Animals: Blind Eel, Sun Bear, Star-nosed Mole, Dumbo Octopus, Yeti Crab, Green Leaf Sea Dragon, Cobra Monkey, Kangaroo Rat, Water Droplet Fish, Saiga Antelope.

1. Blind Eel

The blind eel is known as the dirtiest, nastiest creature in the ocean, living deep beneath the surface of the waves. When it gets hungry, it clings to a passing fish, burrows through its skin, and then eats the fish from the inside out.

2. The sun bear

Also known as the "dog bear," it is found in Asia's rainforests in Southeast Asia, thanks to its small size and extremely long tongue.

3. The star-nosed mole

Inhabiting the northeastern U.S. and Canada, the star-nosed mole has 22 microscopic tentacles at the tip of its snout, which it uses to forage for food.

4. Dumbo Octopus

Because of the ear-like fins protruding from their "heads", they have been compared to Disney's famous elephants, hence their name. Living at extreme depths, these creatures are a rare sight.

5. Yeti Crab

More formally known as the Kiwador Hairy Monster, that too only after being found in the depths of the 2005 South Pacific Ocean. Its hairy pincers contain bacteria that can be used to detoxify the water around the volcanic vents where it lives.

6. Green-leafed sea dragon

Found off the coast of Australia, this marine animal resembles a piece of seaweed when floating in the water. It is so well camouflaged that the only thing that reveals its presence is the occasional turn of an eye or a fluttering appendage.

7. Spectacled monkeys

They get their name from the extremely long tarsals and huge eyes on their feet, and not only are these creatures extremely peculiar in appearance, but they're also known for their ninja-like athleticism when they jump to catch birds in flight.

8, Kangaroo Rat

With cheeks that extend all the way down to their shoulders, it's easy to see where this rodent got its name. After filling them with food, it will turn them over with its paws and dump them back into their burrow.

9. Dropseed Fish

These fish inhabit the deep waters of Australia and are adapted to life under extreme stress. Although they lack a lot of muscle mass, this is not necessary for them as they feed on anything edible that floats.

10, Saiga Antelope

The Saiga Antelope is a very distinctive looking antelope, known for its unique nose protruding from its mouth. Despite human encroachment on its habitat, it has managed to breed effectively, although it has become more endangered in recent years.
