59 Unusual Animals On Earth That You Probably Don't Know Of

With more than 8 million species of living things on Earth, it is no wonder that nobody knows or has seen them all. And if you wanted to look at 8 million pictures of all the cool animals roaming the Earth, it would take around eight years to spend 30 seconds for each photo and do it non-stop, without any breaks for eating or sleeping.

And with scientists discovering new rare animal species almost every day, this operation sounds quite unrealistic. That’s why we’ve chosen the most curious and weirdest animals, so you won't have to spend a decade checking them out yourself.

We’ve included land and sea animals, mammals and reptiles, and even bugs, so you’d see many unique animals. A mammal that looks like a crossbreed between a zebra, a giraffe, and a moose? Sure, that’s an okapi! A fish that takes the shape of a blob?

Of course, it even has a very appropriate name - blobfish! A weird-looking animal called a thorny devil? Why, yes! After seeing these unusual animals, you’ll be amazed that these sometimes very unsightly beings inhabit the same planet as us!
