This, uhm… peculiar eyeless animal is actually called Atretochoana eiselti. It is a large, presumably aquatic, caecilian amphibian with a broad, flat head and a fleshy dorsal fin on the body.

Tell Lala that this thread has snake also oooo

But a different kind of snake.

This one look disgusting

Interesting thread.

Yeti Crab



This strange crab is covered in fuzzy white hair. No wonder it’s called the Yeti crab. These crabs are rarely seen because they live in deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps. They have only recently been discovered.

Penis snake

Blob Fish


This fish looks like a man that melted on the sidewalk. It has two small eyes and a large nose. It even has a mean smirk on its face. It’s a rather large fish and looks just like a giant blob. These fish are found off the coasts of mainland Australia and Tasmania, as well as the waters of New Zealand.

Penis snake

Am not the one who came up with the name ooooo

Japanese Spider Crab



If you are afraid of spiders, you might want to look away. This monster is found in Japan. It’s not a spider, though; it’s a species of crab. It can grow to be over 5 feet wide, and it uses its long legs to get around and catch prey.

I didn't say bro.. I'm Natgeo Wild biggest fan

The Bush Viper


This snake is beautiful but deadly. Its bright colors help it hide from prey and predators. It lives up in the trees of the tropical forests of Africa. This snake does most of its hunting at night and is not often seen by humans


Another snake for Lala oooo.

But this snake is fine.

Can you keep this fine snake as a pet?

Glaucus Atlanticus


The Glaucus Atlanticus is beautiful. It’s a type of sea slug that is found in the Indian and Pacific oceans. The blue color acts as camouflage. Although these slugs are adorable and can be tempting to touch, they can produce a powerful and painful sting

[quote author=kolaa007 post=89056400]It looks like a cross between a horse and a zebra, but the okapi is actually closer to giraffes. Like it’s cousin, the okapi feeds on the leaves of tall trees using it’s long tongue and spreads it’s legs as it lowers its neck to drink water. It also has large sensitive ears that pick up the slightest sounds from far away.[/quote.

*Correction, Okapi lives in central Africa

Greater sage-grouse


This weird-looking bird is a male sage-grouse. His chest is adorned with large air sacs, which he uses to attract females by making them produce odd popping sounds. The males congregate in groups across the shrubland of western North America called “leks,” calling to females.

However, these fantastically bizarre birds are decreasing in number. One species is near-threatened, while the other is endangered and has only 1,700 adult birds left. Human use of their habitat has shrunk their population.

And some people will have us believe there is no God? Who or what craftly designed and created all these Animals?

Purple frog
This awkward lump of an animal is certainly a unique sort of frog. It’s got an itty-bitty face — earning it the additional name of “pig-nosed frog” — and lives exclusively in India. Its tadpoles live on algae-covered rocks, using their sucker-like mouths.

The adults, however, live mostly underground. Local people eat the tadpoles and use the species in medicine. Some people turn the frog into an amulet and give it to children in an attempt to quell their fear of storms. Unfortunately, this use and deforestation have made the purple frog endangered.

Jerboa


You’ve probably never seen or heard of Jerboas because they’re mostly found throughout Arabia, Northern Africa, and Asia. They live in the scolding hot desert where they run around as fast as 15 miles per hour.

This little guy looks much like a mouse or a rat, but it’s actually equipped with large eyes and ears meant for nocturnal activity. The most bizarre part about the Jerboa that clearly separates it from common rodents is its hind feet with central bones for speed and leaping.

Axolotl
This salamander is a strange one (in more ways than immediately meets the eye). It’s like a permanent teenager — as an adult, it retains most of the amphibious features of youth: external gills, a tail, and an aquatic lifestyle.

However, if you inject an axolotl with other salamander hormones, it turns into something like a normal salamander. While the axolotl is beloved by scientists for its ability to regenerate its limbs, that fancy trick hasn’t saved it from becoming critically endangered

God is great!

I'm ashamed to write this but didn't have choice and don't want to do what is not right...
Please pardon my write up as I'm not thinking straight right now
Before I'll start to write shout out to @Fuckkthemod God will bless you and your family (amen)
My story goes like this, I'm from Osun state but I live and work in Akwa Ibom I have a job I'm a telecom engineer a Rigger to be precise and I've been doing really good for myself, recently I was advised by my mom to start to save out of my salary and invest in case of raining day in which I oblige and I started saving 20k out of my salary I saved for 10 months which is 200k, during the 10 months I derived myself many good things including better clothes just to achieve my aim, my mom said I should buy a new bike and give it out on a higher purchase in which I bought on the 3rd of April with the help of my mom, she helped me find someone in Osun state and we negotiate on how he's going to make the payment to me, to cut my story short the bike was stolen on 10th of April and the said guy is still in the hospital getting treatment from the wounds he sustain during the struggle with those bike snatchers.

This is where I need help, as I'm typing this my account is on zero and it has been difficult for me to feed myself for some days now, I didn't eat anything throughout today as I live on ordinary water, please fellow nairalander whoever is willing to help should save me from this hunger before I develop ulcer.

Thank you in advance.

Great thread. Already familiar with about half of them though. Very informative and front page worthy. Lalasticlala

Okapi is shy & lives in Australia & New Zealand. Most animals in this region don’t exist elsewhere

Actually I believe the Okapi is found in Central Africa or the forests of Gabon etc.

Arrival of Lala is near ; escorted him from obalende to roll gate at Sango ; he was heading to Otta home of number 1 Nlander

The sort of post I need to get my weekend started.

Thanks for this, man.

Now, to get reading...

You might be tempted to laugh at the size of this monkey’s nose, but it turns out that when it comes to wooing females: the bigger, the better. According to the National Geographic, the males’ ridiculously large noses “create an echo chamber that amplifies the monkey’s call, impressing females and intimidating rival males.”

Proboscis monkeys are some of Asia’s largest monkeys with adult males weighing up to 50 pounds. They love snacking and fruits and leaves, although they’ll eat insects occasionally.


At first I thought it was promiscuous monkey

The guy with the big nose always stands out in the crowd.

I can confidently state that I am 100% familiar with this old guy. Talking about the Proboscis monkey.
But an insectivorous monkey is kind of weird to me...

I think I'm a nerd. I've seen more than 80% of the animals here... I'll be damned

Speaking of dragons, this lizard from Southeast Asia is probably the closest we’ll come to flying dragons (although honestly, you never know!) It has small wing-like appendages that allow it to soar gracefully through the air over 30-ft distances. It turns out flight has quite a few advantages for this lizard — including quickly evade predators and showing off to potential mates.

I have seen this one on NATGEO Wild... the documentary was shot on an isolated island in the Indonesian archipelago.

Noted, mistook it for another similar animal in Australia

Really weird

I'm seeing things..
