I was searching over the internet for strange and weird things and I found weird and strange animals.I started doing research on them and I wanted to make a post about them to inform people about these strange and weird looking animals.This is my first time making a post so please don't hate it too much.Tell me what other posts you want me to make and I will make them.
1# Blobfish: The Blobfish gets it's name because as you can see,it looks like a blob. Their scientific name is Psychrolutes marcidus and it's length is less than 30 cm. They are named the world's ugliest animal because it is kinda ugly and strange. They are usually found in New Zealand and Australian oceans.

2# Panda Ant: This animal may look like a Panda but it is definitely not an ant. It is actually a species of a wingless wasp. If you ever see one,don't touch it. You will get a really painful sting in your hand. They are known as "Cow-killers" because with a few stings,they could take down a cow or even a buck. Their colors indicate that they are poisonous and dangerous.They may look weird but never touch.

3# Puss Moth Caterpillar: The Puss Moth Caterpillar is a really weird insect. It is weird to me because it starts out ugly then it turns into a cool looking moth. They can have a wingspan of 10 cm. If you bother them,they will stare at you with it's strange face.If you keep bothering it,it will spray acid at you.This is another insect that you can't touch because it is dangerous.It is endangered because people are chopping down it's native homeland so they can build buildings and stores.Even though it's creepy and somewhat dangerous,we should still save it's species.

4# The Goliath Bird-eater: The Goliath Bird-eater is a tarantula that is as big as one foot.It lives in South America.Even though they are called the "Bird-eater",they don't eat birds.They eat things they can find on the ground like worms,frogs and other small animals that they find as prey.Even though they are big and scary,they are still really cool arachnids.

5# Atlas Moth: The Atlas Moth is a moth that is unique is a strange way.The tips of it's wings look like cobra's.When a predator tries to eat it,it flashes it's wings and falls to the ground and wiggles like a snake.It does that because no bird wants to eat a "cobra".It's wingspan ranges from 25 to 30 cm.This insect is my favorite because it acts like a snake in self-defense.
