Sometimes it seems that there is no longer in the world any corner where no one had gone to the foot of man, and not a single plant or animal, which the world had never seen.However, the nature yet still able to surprise people, and then discovering in its bosom all the more unusual beings.Inhabiting the land and the water strange animals can cause its appearance and smile, and shock and disgust.
One unusual mammals can be called SOLENODON.This insectivorous animal of small size, although, compared with other animals of the order, it can be called a fairly large length of its body reaches 32 cm, and the tail - 25 cm. Weighs this natural wonder around 1 kg.The genus is divided into two main types: the Haitian and Cuban SOLENODON.From this we can conclude where the animal is found.His muzzle it resembles a hedgehog, but with a longer nose.SOLENODON looks harmless enough and nice, but in his teeth contained the poison, which he injects the bite like a snake.In addition to insects, the animal feeds on small carrion, so the ecosystem is considered one of the most important species.Up until 2003 SOLENODON thought to be extinct until scientists found a few live specimens that are now carefully protected, because there is a serious risk of the final disappearance of the creatures from the face of the Earth.
Other unusual and strange animal called the aye-aye, or rukonozhka.This is the only primate who hunts, relying on echolocation like bats.A native of Madagascar, the aye-aye feeds on insects, which picks out from under the bark with his long, thin fingers.He lives this wonderful animal in the trees, in the nests of a spherical shape with an opening for entry and exit.The length of its body is about 40 cm, bushy tail - as much as 60 cm. He has big eyes and large, leathery ears.
also a list called "strange animals" include such representative decapod crustaceans like coconut crab.It inhabits this horrible-looking (but probably edible) being in the Western Pacific as well as in the tropical islands of the Indian Ocean.The body of this Land of cancer reaches 32 cm in length, and due to the long claws and paws pet seems even more.It weighs a "crustacean" about 4 kilograms.It got its name not because stealing palm trees, so that feeds mainly on coconuts.For a long time it was thought that he was capable of with his huge claws split a nut, but today the scientists proved that this is not true: the cancer eats already chopped coconuts.Also, he did not hesitate and organic substances found in the soil, plants and fruits of their own kind.
However, in nature, there are not only strange animals, and strange fish.For example, living on very deep water fish with a transparent head was first discovered only in 1939, and the structure of her eyes fully studied only in 2009.In this small fish really clear head, that protects, like the suit, located inside the tubular eyes.Through the head she watches its prey.
rare and strange animals have always attracted the attention of scientists, despite their skepticism in some cases.For example, in India the locals for many years are aware of violet (purple) of the frog, but these things reptile scientist became known only in the year 2003.They simply did not believe in its existence, because it is most likely just do not come across them in the eye.This is not surprising, because the purple frog spends most of the year deep (almost 4 meters) underground, beneath which is selected on the surface only in the rainy season, which lasts about 2 weeks.She does so with one goal - to continue their family.
Of course, this is not all strange animals of the world, and surely somewhere there are, the existence of which no one knows to this day.
