This fluffy little insect was discovered in Venezuela only as recently in 2009, this new species has still not been properly studied, so there is not much we know about them. They tend to grow to about 1 inch or around 2,5 cm in size.
This alien-looking moth has big bulging eyes, spiky antennas, and poofy-like fur covering its head, thorax, abdomen, and even wings.
Hairy Frog
When the number one search result for hairy frogs is asking whether these things are real or a joke, you know that you're dealing with a true mystery of nature. These incredibly bizarre frogs mostly come from Central Africa and are also known as Horror frogs and Wolverine frogs.
Their name is in reference to the unique hair-like structures on their hind legs and sides, which are believed to increase their oxygen absorption abilities. If that's not weird enough, Wolverine frogs also have sharp claws in their back feet, which they create by breaking their bones. Scientists believe these are used during combat, but this has not been proven to date.
Amazon Giant Fishing Spider
Places like the Amazon are home to some of the most beautiful, unique, and captivating creatures on Earth. Unfortunately, they are also home to some of the most dangerous and scary ones too. This harsh and moist environment has led to some extreme mutations, but almost none of them compare to the giant fishing spider.
This creature tends to grow up to eight inches in length and is an excellent fisherman. The Amazon giant fishing spider loves to camp on the water's surface before taking a swing through the underwater sea life and having his dinner. If you ever find yourself in the Amazon, we recommend staying as far away as possible from this terrifying hybrid.
Dumbo Octopus
The adorable Dumbo octopus is an umbrella octopus and they are found all around the world. Their name comes from Disney's "Dumbo" because the creature's ears bear similarity to the movie's title character.
These creatures swim by flapping their "ears" or propelling water through their funnel, somewhat like a squid. These guys are surprisingly fast and can easily evade predators through their small size and ability to hide away.
Macropinna Microstoma
This species of fish lives at a depth of about 600 meters to 800 meters, and can often be found hanging almost motionless in the water. They use their ultra-sensitive tubular eyes to search for distant silhouettes of prey overhead.
It is quite unique with a transparent, fluid-filled cover on its head, through which the lenses of its eyes can be seen.
