On several previous occasions, we have devoted to show you really fascinating species. We have seen creatures that either by their appearance, their strange behavior or the place they occupy in the evolutionary processes, we are absolutely out of the ordinary. Thus we saw for example from animals by his melanism are completely black, astonishing animals miniature, with their tiny sizes, or rare species from the depths, when we show you the most bizarre aquatic animals. But on this occasion, I shall present to you that today are the 10 rarest animals in the world. Start!
Bat Yoda
This species of fruit bat was discovered very recently, more precisely in a group of scientific expeditions that were carried out in some remote regions of Papua New Guinea, in 2009. Why is that neither his name nor his species in particular have been properly documented yet. While the peculiar shape of his nose this bat can come in a strange species, is actually so striking as required in their environment because after feeding on fruits dispersed seeds in different areas of the jungle.
Yeti crab
He popularly known as yeti crab (Kiwa hirsuta) inhabits the deep dark waters of the South Pacific. Just found this species 2228 metres of depth, several kilometres to the South of Easter Island. It is a decapod crustacean that lacks eyes and omnivorous character. You live around hydrothermal sources to survive. The real purpose of these large and bright strands in their limbs is has yet to determine, although presumably that they should help you capture their food.
Pelican Shoebill
This bird-shaped pelicano popularly known as shoebill (Balaeniceps rex) is one of the strangest kind and inhabits the tropical areas of the East African, in the lands of Sudan and Zambia. Particular of these birds is that, in addition to this strange form of shoe at its peak, they are one of the highest in the world and measure more than 1 meter long. They are characterized by being very solitary and silent. They feed on fish, frogs, small reptiles and different mammals.
Lizard with frills
We all remember this strange creature after its appearance in Jurassic Park. Is that just the clamidosaurio of King (frill necked lizard kingii), better known as the lizard with frills, is a species of lizard agamido that looks like something out of the Jurassic period. The lizard with frills is characterized by that strange layer of skin, cartilage and bones around his neck, which rises when it feels threatened. It inhabits in different areas of Australia and also to the South of New Guinea, where it feeds on insects and small invertebrates species.
Sphinx cat
This kind of cat draws the attention of anyone because of the absence of fur on his body. However, the Sphinx or cat Sphinx (Sphynx) does hair. It's a slight extremely thin, almost imperceptible layer both sight and touch. This feature is the result of a mutation at the genetic level and that is why we consider it as one of the rarest animal species in the world. Contrary to what many believe, it is a natural mutation and first appeared in the Decade of the 60's in Canada. Today many people enjoy the company of these strange cats as pets.
These were the 5 rarest animals in the world, but come on, there are many more and I know that you believe that it should have included some more on my list. Strange animals that you would like to add and why?
