Animals with the strange body features

If you look outside, you will see a squirrel running on tree snake crawling across the lawn, or a beehive near your home. However, in the world there are far more interesting creatures that live outside your yard. Below are ten of these exotic animals, from hummingbirds to the pretender sneezing monkey Michael Jackson.

Bald Uakari (Bald Uakari)

Bald uakari are one of the monkey species, endemic in Brazil and Peru, which are known for their bright red face. A flock of these monkeys is called a troop, and they prefer to live in tall trees, away from the constant floods that affected their habitat. Scientists believe that the colorful monkey face is a result of the lack of pigment on their heads, which allows blood vessels to red be seen through the skin. It's actually a disadvantage for the survival of monkeys, because predators can easily see it, but such a person is also a sign of a healthy immune system.

Unfortunately, for those of monkeys that live in the jungle, they are moving slowly towards extinction, largely due to the fact that people hunt them. Bald uakari with a pale-faced, are known to be malaria and removed from other uakari, deciding not to participate in reproduction.

Weevil giraffe, which got its name because of its abnormally long neck, is a species of beetles that live on the island of Madagascar. Despite the fact that the existence of such a long neck may seem inconvenient, this strange anomaly is critical to beetle life. For males of their neck serve as a means to combat with other males, as a rule, for the female weevil. Neck weevils males twice as long than in females weevils. Madagascar weevils denote trees that are meant for weevils and only for the weevils. They use these special trees as a source of food, as well as a comfortable living environment. Their soft and fragile wings tucked in a protective sheath called elytra.

snub-nosed monkey (Snub-Nosed Monkey)

snub-nosed monkey more like Michael Jackson after surgery than primates. They only recently in the Asian country of Myanmar have been found after a few individuals have been accidentally shot by hunters. Since then, scientists have been monitoring these monkeys in the jungle during the rainy season. Scientists thought that this would be the best time to observe their unusual behavior, which includes the folding head in a ball to protect themselves from the water, because the strange shape of their nose allows water to easily get into the nostrils, forcing them to constantly sneezing.

The number of snub-nosed monkey in Myanmar currently keeps around 260-300 individuals, but it is at any time may be reduced because of their tasty meat, which is appreciated by hunters. Fortunately, they feed on berries and live on the highest peaks of the trees, so it is difficult for hunters to catch them.

Ice fish (Ice Fish)

Ice fish, first discovered Detlef Rustad (Ditlef Rustad) in 1927, it is a peculiar-looking body and inhabits the coast of Antarctica. It has impressive features of the body including teeth and spectrally white body. This appearance resembling phantom, is the result of a lack of hemoglobin in her blood, making the fish as transparent as a window.

The mystery of how these fish there without hemoglobin, which is an important substance that carries oxygen through the blood, has puzzled researchers for over 60 years. Recently, scientists have speculated that the ice fish can absorb oxygen through the skin and not through the gills and blood. Another possibility is that instead of using blood for oxygen transport, they use blood plasma, the liquid component of blood, which represents 55 per cent of blood volume and causes blood clotting. Blood plasma yellowish color may be the reason that the inside of the fish have a yellowish tinge.

largemouth (Gulper Eel)

Extremely rare largemouth sometimes also called eel-pelican. These creatures live deep in the ocean. One of the reasons why they are so rare, is that females lay eggs in the water is so deep that the offspring often do not survive after hatching.

Largemouth pushes the jaw of his incredibly big mouth to swallow at least a great booty, which he lures brilliant bioluminescent balls at the end of his tail. Extraction is then digested in the stomach rolling, which is stretched to accommodate dinner eel. As soon as the largemouth grows older, his teeth are gradually disappearing, but his sense of smell improves dramatically, to compensate for the lack of teeth.

hummingbird hawk-moth (Hummingbird Hawk-Moth)

Hummingbird hawk-moth inhabits almost the entire territory of the southern part of Europe and Asia, is a moth that looks like a hummingbird. He not only has a proboscis as well as a hummingbird or butterfly, its proboscis even divided into two tubes, when they need cleaning. Sac in front of the head is filled with air, when the moth inhales and then deflates when he exhales, allowing it to absorb nectar.

Along with the presence of proboscis like a hummingbird, its wings can move so quickly, issuing a similar low humming noise during flight. These moths also have a wonderful memory, they repeatedly return to the same 50 flowers.

The Flying Frog (Flying Frog)

Also known as rhacophoridae species has strong membranes between the toes of the front and hind legs. Scientists originally thought that these webbed fingers used for swimming, because it is a common thing for frogs, so they were surprised to see how the frog, instead planning from tree to tree to avoid predators.

The greatest distance that flying frog was able to overcome in one leap was more than 15 meters. This distance just enough to move to another tree or even on the ground. In addition to the webbed toes on the front paws, these amphibians have large soft yellow-green fingers on his hind legs that help them attach themselves to trees for a more secure fit, just like geckos.

Salpa (Salpa)

Perhaps this is one of the strangest creatures in the world. When a salpa can swear that it is an animal from another planet. Surprisingly, this creature that looks like a jellyfish and dwelt off the coast of California, is not a jellyfish. In fact, it consists of smaller organisms that are kept and work together. Each salpa, as they are called individually, consists of plankton and virtually harmless.

These organisms are becoming more and more in recent years due to their incredible ability to clone himself at will. However, these peaceful creatures cause a lot more problems than you think. They destroyed two fishing nets after being caught in them, and even caused the shutdown nuclear power plant in California. The scientists say that their ability to adapt to different water temperatures and immunity to pollution caused by man, meaning that they may soon fill the ocean.

Indian purple frog (Indian Purple Frog)

Indian purple frog, apparently, was not enough to have color, which no longer has any other amphibian, she also developed an incredible muzzle and a small plump body. When these strange frogs are born, they begin their lives as tadpoles, aquatic frogs as normal. The difference is that these tadpoles have the same distinctive pig nose which hangs a hook on their faces.

Scientists believe that these strange peculiarities of their appearance have evolved due to the fact that they live their entire lives underground. Their short legs designed for digging under the ground, like a tiny spade. They do everything under the earth, and come to the surface for two weeks in his life. During these two weeks, the frog has just enough time to find a mate and reproduce, before going back into the earth, never to appear on the surface. During this time, males sing loudly to attract females, and the sound of their serenades becoming louder as the rain amplification.

Carpet (hovering), octopus (Octopus Blanket)

Animals with the strange body features

Carpet (hovering), octopus (also known as purple tremoktopus), living in the seas of New Zealand and Australia, is as rare a creature as the largemouth, but lives in much shallower waters. To distinguish males from females of this species is easy, because the females by nearly 2 meters longer than the males. Their "blanket" used to capture prey, but if for some reason the octopus can not lure the fish to your blanket, it can disconnect parts to make themselves "more attractive". However, the octopus is not everything in the world as well. Archenemy carpet octopus is a Portuguese ship, highly toxic jellyfish. Octopus is not susceptible to toxins jellyfish, but when the female octopus entangled in the coil of the gelatinous mass, they literally tear off some of its own tentacles and use them as weapons. Males have a tentacle, designed specifically for reproduction, which is no longer, as soon as the pairing is complete, with the result that the male dies.
