1 Star-nosed Mole

Star-nosed moles live in the northern United States and Canada. They live in humid lowland areas and feed on small bugs in the soil. Star-nosed moles are good at swimming and digging. The most amazing thing is their star-shaped nose. It observes the world through its nose. There are 22 tentacles distributed on its nose. Each tentacle is covered with thousands of tiny particles. Can explore 600 pinhead-sized areas. The middle tentacles are particularly sensitive and can detect creatures less than half a centimeter in length. The star nose is not part of the olfactory system responsible for smelling, nor is it a third hand used to catch food, but an extremely sensitive tactile organ, with an adult body length of 15 to 20 centimeters.

2 Lamprey

Lampetra japonica, scientific name lamprey, is a fish of the class Lamprey. It is characterized by a cylindrical mouth, no upper and lower jaws, and sharp teeth in the mouth. The hagfish is a strange animal: it gnaws its way into carcasses to feed, and can even stay there for up to three days. Scientists at the University of British Columbia in Canada believe that this gruesome feeding method of lamprey fish will cause the water quality accumulated in the animal carcasses to become acidic due to the carbon dioxide they produce. There are more than 30 kinds of hagfish in the world, and they belong to the order Hagfish. The most common Atlantic hagfish is Myxine glutinosa; the Pacific hagfish is Eptatretus stoutii.

3 Jumping fish

Jumping fish mainly live in the tidal flats. They begin to mate at the beginning of summer and autumn. When they are in estrus, they will erect their fins like a flag. They are fattest in autumn. , and then begin to lay eggs, which hatch into small fish. There is a lot of algae in the tidal flats, which becomes its staple food. It is an amphibious fish species that can absorb oxygen in water and breathe air. Amphibian eggs need to be hatched with the help of strong sunlight and warm soil. In autumn and winter, the strongest sunlight is on the tidal flats, which is doomed to the life habits of jumping fish.

4 Tarsier

The tarsier (scientific name: Philippine tarsier) belongs to the family Tarsieridae. It is a precious small monkey and the smallest known monkey species in the world. What is unique about them is their eyes - on their small faces, there are two round and extremely large eyes, and the diameter of the eyeballs can exceed 1 cm. Tarsier is an arboreal animal in dense tropical and subtropical forests. It likes to live in dense secondary forests and shrubs, and is also found in virgin forests. Mainly distributed in the Philippines and other places in Southeast Asia, it is an endangered animal.

5 Dugong

Both Dugong and manatees are herbivores, but their habitats are different. They are the only species of the order Manatee that still exist in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. . Unlike the manatee, the dugong's tail fin is similar to the Y-shaped tail of the dolphin, and the long tusks protruding from the mouth are similar to those of its distant relative, the elephant. Although they have a wide distribution range and there are still considerable numbers in some areas, their survival has been seriously threatened by human hunting, habitat loss, and accidents of drowning in fishing nets. In some areas they are called "sea cow", "sea pig", or "sea camel".

6 Aardvark

The aardvark (Orycteropus afer) is a mammal from South Africa and central Africa. 1 to 1.5 meters long. The ears are long, the snout is like a pig, and the tongue is long and sticky. The claws are strong and good at digging holes. Inhabits grasslands and woodlands. Anteaters and termites. Nocturnal behavior dominates. Also known as ant bear or native pig.

7 Tasmanian Devil

The Tasmanian Devil is a marsupial carnivore that is now only found in Tasmania, Australia. The Tasmanian devil is the only non-extinct member of the genus Tasmanian devil. It is about the size of a small dog, but is very muscular and strong. Characteristics include black fur, a foul odor when attacked, a piercing cry, and a demeanor when eating. In addition to hunting, Tasmanian devils also eat carrion. They usually travel alone, but sometimes feed with other Tasmanian devils.

8 Naked Mole Rat

The naked mole rat is an outstanding representative of mammals. It lives in groups like bees and is as organized as ants, bees, wasps and termites. However, naked mole rats are larger and uglier. In fact, they are very cold-blooded animals that feel no pain at all. These bizarre animals live in underground dens and can number up to 100 of them. Naked mole rats dig their burrows with disproportionately large incisors, which are located in front of their lips so they don't swallow dirt. This animal can live 28 years.

9 Okapi

Okapi is a mammal in the family Artiodactyla, order Giraffeidae. The Okapi is an interesting animal native to the Congo. It has a long neck like a giraffe and stripes on its back like a zebra. Another similarity between okapi and giraffe is that they both have long tongues, which okapi can also use to clean their eyes and ears. Researchers pointed out that there are about 4,000 to 6,000 of this precious animal in the Congo National Reserve, and there are only about 30,000 in the world. The Okapi was only discovered by Western scholars in 1901. It is listed as one of the top ten mysterious animals in the world, ranking second.

10 Slender Slow Lorises

A shy, nocturnal primate from southern India and Sri Lanka. It has a pair of giant eyes and its tears can be used to make medicine.

11 Coconut Crab

Coconut crab (Latin name: Birgus latro), also known as gossip crab, is an arthropod of the decapoda terrestrial hermit crab family. It can weigh up to 6 kilograms and is the largest terrestrial arthropod in existence. Some call coconut crabs robber crabs because they are rumored to steal things like pots and silverware from homes and tents. They are a type of hermit crab that can break the shell of a coconut with its pincers to eat the coconut pulp, hence its name.

Belongs to the order Carnivora and the family Red Panda. Whether it should be listed in the bear family or the raccoon family has been a matter of debate for many years. Recently, genetic analysis has shown that it is most closely related to raccoons in the American continent and should be listed separately in the red panda family.

13 Sloths

Sloths are mammals, with 6 species in 2 families, 2 genera. The shape is slightly like a monkey and is produced in tropical forests. Its movements are slow, and it often hangs upside down on branches with its claws for hours without moving, so it is called a sloth. The sloth is the only wild animal with plants growing on its body.

The most primitive and peculiar animal among living mammals, it is only distributed between Cape York in eastern Australia and South Australia, and also inhabits Tasmania. The platypus is the most primitive mammal and lays eggs, just like reptiles and birds! The platypus is an expert swimmer. It uses its forelimbs to paddle the water and its hind limbs to steer. It preys on some small aquatic animals living in the river. In addition, the platypus is one of the very few mammals that uses venom to defend itself. In short, the platypus is very strange. A mammal

15 giant anteater

Mammal, mainly inhabiting the tropical forests of Central and South America, as far south as Argentina. This group is highly specialized in preying on ants and termites. The giant anteater has long, thick fur all over its body, and its fur is brown in color. Its tail is fat and mostly drooping, while other arboreal species have shorter fur on its body and tail, and its tail has the ability to scratch. The giant anteater uses its powerful forelimbs to tear apart the nests of ants and termites, and uses its long tongue to catch food, swallowing it whole, and grinding it against the thickened pylorus in its stomach. All anteaters appear slow and clumsy when moving on the ground.

In the two arboreal genera, the forepaw toes are used for grasping, and they move along the trunk of the tree in an alternating manner. Giant anteaters sleep 14-15 hours a day, and when they wake up, they walk slowly around the ant nests in search of food. They have dexterous organs that are very suitable for hunting small prey.
