m Nicknamed ¶The Dumbo Octopus· because
of the fins at the top of its head-like body
resembling the ear of Disney·s Dumbo the
Flying Elephant, and is one of the rarest types
of octopus.
m They live deeper than any other octopus,
from 3000-7000m below sea level.
m The largest Dumbo Octopus was 6ft long and
weighed 13lbs.
m They swim just above the sea floor, eating
worms, bivalves, pelagic copepods and other
crustaceans.
m They move by waving their fins, shooting
water through their funnel or pulsing their
arms.
m Male and female Dumbo Octopi are very
different.
m 18 species of the Dumbo Octopus have been
discovered.
m Though it is an amphibian
(originating from Mexico), it retains
its gills and aquatic nature and
design.
m They can regenerate most of their
body parts.
m Axolotls are critically endangered
in the wild.
m They range from 15-45cm,and
feature many aspects of a
salamander larvae (neotonic).
m Axolotls are carnivores, eating
worms, small fish and insects.
m arge white Hungarian breed of the
ivestock Guardian Dog, and are one
of Hungary·s national treasures.
m Komondors were brought to Hungary in
the 1100s by the Cumans, and were fist
recorded in history in 1544.
m They are around 75cm tall, and are
muscular and have the largest coat in
the canine world.
m They have a natural ¶guardian instinct·
and known to be used to guard
livestock and fend off predators. They
are also very aggressive to trespassers
and wary of strangers. However, it is
very affectionate with friends and
family.
m The 'hairy' pincers contain
filamentous bacteria,
which the creature may
use to detoxify poisonous
minerals from the water
emitted by the
hydrothermal vents where
it lives. Alternatively, it
may feed on the
bacteria, although it is
thought to be a general
carnivore. Its diet also
consists of green algae
and small shrimp.
m Tarsiers have enormous eyes
and long feet. Their feet
have extremely elongated
tarsus bones, which is how
they got their name. They
are primarily insectivorous,
and catch insects by
jumping at them. They are
also known to prey on birds
and snakes. As they jump
from tree to tree, tarsiers can
catch even birds in motion.
All tarsier species are
nocturnal in their habits.
m The English name narwhal is
derived from the Dutch
name narwal which in turn
comes from the Danish
narhval which is based on
the Old Norse word nar,
meaning "corpse." This is a
reference to the animal's
colour. The narwhal is also
commonly known as the
Moon Whale.
m Narwhals!
m The leafy sea dragon·s
appearance is used as
camouflage . Its fins are
almost invisible. The creature
resembles a slightly large sea
horse. It is found in the waters
of Australia.
m Found in Malaysia and Brunei.
m When the colony is
threatened, if combat has
failed, it will commit an
explosive suicidal act via
autothysis. This causes the ant
to spray a strong poison in all
directions, and to shoot a glue
like substance out of its
mandibles to entangle the
foes, letting the poison slowly
kill them.
m Found in Central Africa.
m The Hairy Frog is only around 11cm
long, and is a carnivore from birth,
with several rows of horned teeth,
feeding on slugs, myriapods,
spiders, beetles and grasshoppers.
m Their defence mechanism is a set
of retractable claws made of
sharp bone. However, to do this, it
breaks its own bones and pierces
through its skin, intentionally. No
one has yet seen the claws
retracted clearly, but it is thought
that it happens inactively, with the
skin regenerating.
m Öarasitic fresh water catfish native to
the Amazon river.
m Adults grow to around 15cm, and
have translucent bodies. They also
often travel in large groups. Their
main feature , however, are their
rows of backwards pointing teeth in
their circular mouth.
m To catch its prey, it detects the
streams of water made by a fish·s
gills. It then sticks itself into the skin of
the fish with its backwards teeth,
and eats by either feeding off the
blood, or even spinning to drill
through the meat, leaving large
gaping holes. They then sink to the
bottom of the river to digest their
meal.
m They are also the only known
vertebrates to be parasites
attacking humans.
m ocated in Öapa New Guinea,
and discovered in 1989.
m This is the first ever documented
poisonous bird, containing the
chemical homobatrachotoxin, the
same chemical found in the
poison dart frog, making it the
world·s most poisonous bird.
m It is thought that it could obtain
the poison through the Choresine
beetles which it eats, as the birds
have different poison levels.
m If the bird is scratched or touched
only partly, only numbness is felt. If
a high quantity of the poison is
taken in, side effects may include
paralysis and death.
m A Wholphin is the rare breed
between a male false killer
whale, and a female
bottlenose dolphin. The
offspring is not sterile.
m Only 2 in captivity, but they
have been argued to exist in
the wild.
m The first ever Wholphin made
in captivity has given birth to
three children, but only one
has survived (although
another did survive to the age
of 9).
m By inserting certain parts of spider
DNA into goat embryos, scientists
have created the hybrid between
a spider and a goat.
m The spider goat acts almost
exactly the same as a normal
goat, but produces a web like
substance ,instead of milk, much
like those found in spiders
m The reason this was created was
to produce a web like substance
in large quantities, as it is one of
the strongest and most flexible
substance on Earth
