Animal
world is more interesting than you can imagine. They are not just animals; they
are the gift of nature that has gone under so much of evolution which has made
them so precise in what they do. Here are the 10 most amazing animals that you
can find in the nature. (Note: I am
not comparing or underestimating any animal, this post is just for the love of
nature).
NUMBER
1. Dung
Beetle
Dung beetles are arthropod,
of size about 3 cm. They are member of the beetle family that feed partly or
exclusively on dung. So they are just beetle that feed on dung; then what make
them so amazing. That thing is power. If I say to think about some powerful
animal then you may think about elephant, gorillas, lion, etc. but you are
absolutely wrong. Dung beetles can pull a load of 1141 times of its weight. So,
if it is of our size then it means two double-decker buses full of people! The
other thing that makes them special is that they are currently the only known
non-human animal to navigate and orient themselves using the Milky Way.
NUMBER 2. Striped Polecat
Its other name is
‘zorilla’. It belongs to the weasels’ family but resembles a lot to skunk. From
the resemblance you can surely get a hint about what amazing ability it has.
Yes, it has the smell power. Although this animal looks cute, but believe me
you don’t want to take this fellow to your home. It holds the Guinness Book of
Records title for the smelliest animal in the world.
NUMBER
3. Immortal Jellyfish
Turritopsis dohrnii
aka immortal jellyfish is a species of jellyfish, which is biologically
immortal. They are found in the Mediterranean Sea and in the waters of Japan.
This is true that they are immortal but only biologically (they can’t kill
themselves, in a way). Most of the jellyfish have fixed lifespan but this
jellyfish is special. When these jellyfish achieve their maturity, they are
able to go back to their polyp state (in simple, to their birth stage). This
process has no end so to their life. Whenever they mature, they transform to polyp.
This makes them biologically immortal. But they can be killed by external
forces.
NUMBER
4. Dwarf lantern shark
Imagine a shark that
is just the size of your palm. That’s dwarf lantern shark. It is the smallest
known species of shark. It can reach a maximum length of only 21.2 cm. It is
closely related to dogfish shark. So what amazing in this creature, it is just
a miniature shark but it has a special ability. It glows in the dark. Yes, this
creature lives in the depth of sea where a little sunlight comes. To overcome
this problem this shark developed an amazing ability to glow. What else you
want in a shark a small size and glowing ability!!
NUMBER
5. Box Jellyfish
What if I say you to
think about most poisonous creature on the Earth? You would probably think of
any snake or amphibian. To an extent, you are right but not completely right.
Box jellyfish is considered to be the most poisonous creature living on the Earth.
Its poison is so dangerous that it can kill 60 adult human or two Australian
elephants. So next time when you see a spongy, cute and playful jellyfish in
the sea first confirm it may be the box jellyfish.
NUMBER
6. Sloth
Of course, you have heard
of sloth. Those lazy creatures of the jungle who only come down from trees to
shit (I mean excrete). But they are much more. Their life style have helped
them quite a lot, they are on Earth for over 60 million years. They are lazy
but not defenceless. They have large nails or claws that they use when
attacked. They are also a master of disguise in their way. They have a natural
camouflage that help them to resemble like they are a part of the tree (just
like those camouflage used by army men). They are slow but have effective tools
and ideas.
In
this picture you can see the camouflage, that is actually green algae.
NUMBER
7. Blob
Fish
When talking about
amazing animals how anybody can’t mention the blob fish. The fleshy blob fish
lives in the depths of about 1200 meters in the oceans. They mainly found in
the regions near Australia and Tasmania. Blob fish has an alien look. When it
is considered to be one of the ugliest animals on the planet, it got its real
fame. But they look that ugly inside the water (see the picture). They lack
muscles because of which they have a density slightly less than water. So they
float just above the sea bed. They have incredible capability to sustain
pressure.
NUMBER
8. Frilled
Shark
I would say that this
creature have attracted people to believe that prehistoric creatures still
exist. Discovered in 2007, frilled shark is among the prehistoric creatures
that still exist. When one sees this fellow, he will think of some evolutionary
stage of shark. They are also correct because frilled shark has the primitive
features of a shark. They can be found as deep as 5,150 ft below the sea level.
Sadly, this creature is near threatened. We should help wildlife experts and
environmentalists to protect these creatures. They are gems of our mother
nature.
NUMBER
9. Ghost
Shrimp and Sea Salp
I was unable to select only
one of these for this. Think about an organism through which you can see
everything. These organisms are those organisms. They have nothing to hide,
seriously nothing to hide. Let’s talk about them separately.
Ghost shrimp is a popular
pet. They are translucent crustacean. They are scavengers. Ghost shrimp are
good as a pet because amaze the people who see them as they are seeing at just
internal organs (that’s over exaggerating, you can see a jelly like thing)
Sea salp is a jelly like
transparent fish. They move by pumping water. Its jet propulsion is most
efficient in the animal kingdom. They feed on phytoplankton.
NUMBER
10. Peregrine
Falcon
How can a list of amazing
animals can end without mentioning the fastest animal in the world. Peregrine
Falcon can reach a speed 322 km/h (200 mph). The highest measured speed of
peregrine falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph). They are found everywhere except the
extreme polar regions. They are the most widely found bird species. For
animals, peregrine falcon is a devil coming from sky.
My favourite animal is
crocodile, what’s your? Tell me about that in the comment section. Thanks for
