Earth is absolutely amazing, especially when it comes to the diverse creatures it homes. Something I enjoy doing is looking up weird and creepy creatures that roam this earth. Some are incredibly cute while others are slightly terrifying. The creatures on this list are not in any type of order; also they got on this list for many different reasons--a few are on here because of their appearance, whether it be creepy or cute, or it is due to a strange ability they posses. Regardless, they are all fascinating creatures that you should know about.
1. HAIRY FROGFISH
I definitely put this one on here because of his "lovely" appearance. Okay, not really, however he is an odd little thing. He walks a bit awkward, but he could eat you if he wanted to. Skip to 1:30 in the video to watch him eat an entire bottom feeder whole.
2. CARNIVOROUS CATERPILLARS
This made the list because I am still baffled by its existence. Snatching bugs whole with its claw shaped self, while the other half stabilizes itself. Absolutely beautiful to watch, but also eerie.
3. ZOMBIE SNAILS
The snails aren't originally "zombies". A parasite has infected them, thus taking over their minds and bodies. Their transformation is incredible. They become "zombies" when they graze over bird droppings that had been infected by parasites. Therefore the parasites now have a new host to control.
4. HORNED LIZARD
Blood squirting lizard. Need I say more?
5. SUNDA COLUGA
These guys are just plain cute and cool. When they are shuffling about on the ground it looks as if they have a built in blanket at their sides. The video is incredible to watch because these scientists attached a small camera to the back of a coluga. The camera allows you to see the point of view from it as it glides through the trees.
6. AXOLOTL
Many of you have probably seen this creature before, but I love this little guy so I had to put him on here. He looks like a cartoon I couldn't resist.
7. DEEP SEA DRAGONFISH
Absolutely freaky, I would not want to be near this guy in any situation.
8. GLAUCUS ATLANTICUS
Another creature that I put on here because of its beautiful appearance. However, this little guy can be extremely deadly. The longest ever recorded was 13cm, but they usually average 5-8cm.
9. OKAPI
Beyond beautiful and rare, it wasn't discovered until the 20th century. Its' closest relative is the giraffe.
10. INDIAN PURPLE FROG
The video below explains a whole lot about the Indian purple frog, who is also known as the pignose frog.
