Strangest & Weirdest Animals of the World

1.sun bear
Along with being the smallest bear species in the world, the sun bear (Ursidae Helarctos malayanus) is also one of the rarest. The sun bear's name is derived from the golden colored crescent shaped patch of fur on its chest.

It is also known as the honey bear because of its extreme fondness of honey, the dog bear because of its size, and the Malay bear for its geographical location.
Out of all species of bears, the least is known about the sun bear because they are so rare.

2.Angora Rabbit
Imagine a ball of the softest white fluffy wool you’ve ever felt, and that is what an Angora rabbit looks like! Originally from Turkey, they are some of the oldest domestic rabbits around, and are primarily bred for their soft and silky wool used to make lovely soft sweaters!




3.WHITE-FACED SAKI
The white-faced saki is a New World monkey that lives in the forests of Northern South America. They live in family groups in which both sexes care for the young. White-faced sakis have only one baby at a time and older siblings help care for the young.




4.Axolotl
It’s a salamander. Besides its looks, it’s unusual in that it stays in its larval form, like a tadpole that never matures into a frog. It never develops full lungs, retaining its gills and fins, so it lives under water. The axolotl becomes sexually mature in the larval stage.The axolotl can completely regrow a lost limb.

They are endangered in the wild because of habitat loss, but they are used in labs all over the world because of their ability to regenerate limbs and their embryos which are large and robust.




5.Yeti Crab
Kiwa hirsuta is a crustacean discovered in 2005 in the South Pacific Ocean. This decapod, which is approximately 15 cm (6 inches) long, is notable for the quantity of silky blond setae (resembling fur) covering its pereiopods (thoracic legs, including claws). Its discoverers dubbed it the "yeti lobster" or "yeti crab"











6.Aye-aye

he aye-aye was discovered by Pierre Sonnerat in 1780, it was brought to Paris by that traveller being the only one known until 1860.

The Aye-aye is a freaky combo of rodent-like teeth with a long, thin middle finger to fill the same niche as a woodpecker. Well to me it looks a whole lot like some mutated little monkey/goat mix... but that is just me. I also think it reminds me of something right out of "Lord of The Rings"... those things called orcs. Except this has big ears and fur. It is the world's largest nocturnal primate.
