這些生物每個都長得古怪又醜陋，像是有著駱馬身體加鳥類利爪或豬頭鹿身的生物，
讓人不禁想問做出這些標本的人在想什麼？
但世界之大，也真的存在著一些我們不知道的特殊生物，現在來會會牠們吧！
巴塔哥尼亞豚鼠
乍看之下很像兔子，但仔細一看才發現，哪有兔子的腳那麼長！
這個長得超像兔子的生物其實是巴塔哥尼亞豚鼠啦！
而牠們就跟鴛鴦一樣，一輩子只認定一個伴侶喔！
馬島長尾狸貓
這個有點像豹又有點像狸貓的生物，是生活在馬達加斯加的特有種生物，
是馬達加斯加目前最大的肉食性哺乳動物，
也是在動畫《馬達加斯加》中讓狐猴受到驚嚇的角色。
鹿豚
鹿豚長得跟山豬很像，但牠比山豬多了一對長牙，這四隻捲曲的獠牙讓他看起來十分恐怖，
雖然鹿豚是豬科動物，但根據基因研究顯示，鹿豚跟河馬有著很近的血緣關係！
長頸羚
東非的長頸羚有著許多女孩夢寐以求的身材條件：小臉、四肢纖細、高挑，
吃較高處的樹葉時還可以直接站立起來。
鬃狼
光看上半部的照片，可能會覺得牠很像是狐狸之類的生物，但沒想到照片往下一拉，
才發現牠的腿那麼地～長！
長得酷似狐狸的鬃狼，皮毛是紅褐色，背部和腿部為黑色，而在尾巴尖部、喉嚨處為白色。
短吻海豚
長相可愛討喜的短吻海豚，有著大頭圓眼，嘴部不像其他豚類明顯，
雖然說被分類的海豚科下，但在基印上牠其實是殺人鯨的近親。
倭犰狳
又叫粉毛犰狳，是犰狳科中體型最小的一種，體長約90-115毫米，體色為粉紅色，
在背甲之下是毛絨絨的身體，十分可愛，遇到驚嚇時會呆立不動，主要以螞蟻為主食。
裸鼴鼠
生活在東非的裸鼴鼠，是目前所知在動物界中兩種具有真社會性的生物之一，
有著王后與平民之分，經過科學家研究發現，牠們也是唯一不會經歷過癌症病痛的生物。
毛冠鹿
一般的鹿在大家心中都是可愛純真的象徵，但生活在中國的特有種-毛冠鹿，
卻長得一副尖牙，像極了惡魔版的小鹿。
七鰓鰻
長相超恐怖的七鰓鰻，也叫做八目鰻，是一種很古老的鰻類，靠吸食魚類的血為生，
但這樣的生物對於歐洲的上流社會來說，可是一道昂貴的美食呢！
The Dhole
The Dhole is a species of canid native to South and Southeast Asia. The dhole is a highly social animal,
living in large clans which occasionally split up into small packs to hunt.
It primarily preys on medium-sized ungulates, which it hunts by tiring them out in long chases,
and kills by disemboweling them. Though fearful of humans,
dhole packs are bold enough to attack large and dangerous animals such as wild boar,
water buffalo, and even tigers.
Markhor
The markhor is a large species of wild goat that is found in northeastern Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The species is classed by the IUCN as Endangered, as there are fewer than 2,500 mature individuals.
The markhor is the national animal of Pakistan. While chewing the cud,
a foam-like substance comes out of its mouth which drops on the ground and dries.
This foam-like substance is sought after by the local people,
who believe it is useful in extracting snake poison from snake bitten wounds.
Yeti Crab
Also known as the Kiwaidae, this crab is a type of marine decapod living at deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps.
The animals are commonly referred to as "yeti crabs" because of their claws and legs,
which are white and appear to be furry like the mythical yeti
Snub-Nosed Monkey
Snub-nosed monkeys live in various parts of Asia and get their name from the short stump of a nose on their round face.
Snub-nosed monkeys inhabit mountain forests, in the winter moving into deeply secluded regions.
They spend the majority of their life in the trees and live together in very large groups of up to 600 members.
They have a large vocal repertoire, calling sometimes solo while at other times together in choir-like fashion.
Southern Right Whale Dolphin
The southern right whale dolphin is a small and slender species of mammal found in cool waters of the southern hemisphere.
They are fast active swimmers and have no visible teeth and no dorsal fin.
They are very graceful and often move by leaping out of the water continuously
Southern Red Muntjac
Found in south Asia, it has soft, short, brownish or greyish hair and is omnivorous, feeding on grass, fruits,
shoots, seeds, birds' eggs as well as small animals. It sometimes even displays scavenging behavior,
feeding on carrion. It gives calls similar to barking, usually upon sensing a predator.
Males are extremely territorial and—despite their diminutive size—can be quite fierce.
They will fight each other for territory using their antlers or their tusk-like upper canine teeth,
and can even defend themselves against certain predators such as dogs.
Cyphonia Clavata
It is a species of treehopper called Cyphonia Clavata that literally has an ant growing out of its head.
Well not literally, the ant-like thing on its head is an appendage that hides the treehopper’s actual body from predators.
Sunda Colugo
Also known as The Sunda flying lemur, it is not actually a lemur and does not fly. Instead,
it glides as it leaps among trees. It is strictly arboreal, is active at night,
and feeds on soft plant parts such as young leaves, shoots, flowers, and fruits.
The Sunda Coluga can be found throughout Southeast Asia in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore
Raccoon Dog
The Raccoon Dog, or Tanuki, is a canid indigenous to East Asia.
The raccoon dog is named for its resemblance to the raccoon, to which it is not closely related.
They are very good climbers and regularly climb trees.
Patagonian Mara
The Patagonian Mara is a relatively large rodent found in parts of Argentina.
This herbivorous, somewhat rabbit-like animal has distinctive long ears and
long limbs and its hind limbs are longer and more muscular than its forelimbs.
The Amazonian Royal Flycatcher
The Amazonian Royal Flycatcher is found in forests and woodlands throughout most of the Amazon basin.
They are about 6 1/2 inches in length and like to dart out from branches to catch flying insects or pluck them from leaves.
They build very large nests (sometimes up to 6 feet long) on a branches near water.
The nest hangs over the water which makes it hard for predators to reach.
Zebra Duiker
The zebra duiker is a small antelope found in Ivory Coast and other parts of Africa.
They have gold or red-brown coats with distinctive zebra-like stripes (hence the name)
Their prong-like horns are about 4.5 cm long in males, and half that in females.
They live in lowland rainforests and mostly eat leaves and fruit.
Star-Nosed Mole
The star-nosed mole is a small mole found in wet low areas of eastern Canada and the northeastern United States.
It is easily identified by the 11 pairs of pink fleshy appendages ringing its snout,
which is used as a touch organ with more than 25,000 minute sensory receptors, known as Eimer's organs,
with which this hamster-sized mole feels its way around.
世界之大無奇不有，一直都有許多新奇的物種被科學家發現，
許多原本只存在在我們想像中的動物，說不定哪天也會被發現喔！
