Amazing Animal World (20 pics)

1

"The Blue angel. A sea slug that floats upside down, eats venomous creatures, and accumulates their toxins to use them against enemies."

2

"The Ghost mantis also imitates fallen leaves. It looks like a brown leaf during droughts and changes its color to green when the humidity increases."

3

"The Chestnut-bellied imperial pigeon. This bright bird lives mainly in New Guinea and feeds on fruits."

4

"The Indian giant squirrel. Unlike ordinary squirrels, it stores its food stocks in caches at the tops of trees."

5

"The Titan Beetle is one of the largest beetles on Earth. The good thing is that insectophobes have nothing to fear: this insect lives only in the dense forests of the Amazon."

6

"The Madagascar leaf-tailed gecko. Scientists found this species only recently because its representatives skillfully disguise themselves as fallen leaves."

7

"The ornate ghost pipefish. It’s hard to find this sophisticated creature and easy to lose it because it hides in coral reefs."

8

"The Cyclopes didactylus is a nocturnal animal and almost never comes down from the tree tops. It has no teeth, but it has a sticky tongue."

9

"The pygmy seahorse hides in coral and rarely grows longer than 0.79 in."

10

"The Showgirl chicken breed got its name because of its resemblance to those Las Vegas performers."

11

"The Flabellinopsis iodinea eating a hydrozoa — one of its favorite dishes."

12

"The Flower crab spider. This cunning spider can change color to merge with a flower. In addition, it doesn’t spin cobwebs but ambushes its prey instead."

13

"The Poison dart frog. When it comes to frogs, the brighter the species is, the more venomous it is."

14

"The red-nosed lantern fly. Its long nose works like a straw that it uses to drink its favorite tree sap."

15

"The African fat-tailed gecko. It spends most of its time hiding. It actually can be a very good pet (geckos are not aggressive and adjust to humans quite easily)."

16

"The Panamanian king vulture. This predator can float in the air for hours by just flapping its wings 2 or 3 times."

17

"The Sumatran tussar moth. Despite its name, which comes from tussar silk, these moths don’t produce silk."
