Wonders of Nature: 9 Amazing Animals

1, Monk Jellyfish

The Monk Jellyfish is actually a species of Hydrozoa with bright blue tentacles and colorful inflatable floating sails, and its body looks transparent. Although it looks attractive on the outside, it carries poisonous stinging filaments that can cause harm. They usually use their poison to hunt prey.

2, Glass Shrimp

Glass Shrimp is also known as Ghost Shrimp, which is a small crustacean about 4 centimeters long and looks very unique, it lives in freshwater rivers in South American countries and can also be bred in captivity. Their appearance has a more elongated face compared to other shrimps, and their skin takes on a transparent form through which their internal organs can be seen.

3, Broad-striped Black-veined Imaging Butterfly

The Broad-striped Black-veined Imaging Butterfly is also known as the Glass Butterfly, and this is because, unlike other butterflies, it does not have brightly colored wings. Instead, their wings are almost transparent. The reason for the lack of color in the wings of the Broad-striped Black Viviparous Butterfly is a form of camouflage. Light passes through the insect's tiny wings, making it nearly invisible, even to birds and other predators. Despite their fragile appearance, glass butterflies are strong. During migration, they live in colonies and can fly up to 20 kilometers in a single day. They play an important role in the pollination of most plants.

4. Sea bottles

Sea bottles are a marine zooplankton with a barrel-shaped appearance. They live at the equator and in some colder waters and will move by contracting their gelatinous bodies and pumping water into them. The creatures can move alone or in groups connected together, and their long forms look spectacular due to their transparent bodies.

5. Transparent little spiny fish

This spiny fish is also called a surgeonfish, but these fish are not transparent at maturity. They remain transparent only when they are still in the first 55 days of life. They will then begin to fade into a blue form.

6. Spongy telopod cysts

The spongy telopod cysts are a type of telopod that lives at depths of up to 500 meters, and their adult bodies take on a transparent form. In fact, its body is completely transparent except for its stomach and compound eyes, which helps them camouflage themselves from predators who can quickly find and kill them.

7. Headband Icefish

Since the early 20th century, the headband icefish has been widely studied by scientists around the world, due to the animal's unique survival instincts and characteristics. Found living among the icy waters of the Antarctic, this fish has no scales, thin bones and translucent blood.

8, glass octopus

These cephalopods are transparent, gelatinous, and appear almost colorless. Because they are not only transparent, but also live in the deeper parts of the upper regions of the ocean, they are rarely found and less studied. Females are ovoviviparous, laying their eggs inside their bodies. Both sexes are highly bioluminescent and use light for hunting, communication and hiding.

9. Sea currant

If you don't look closely, you might not even realize it's a small animal because it looks like a small glass ball. It has a pair of long tentacles that are used to catch prey, but can also retract into its body, which is twenty times the length of its body.
