Albino Axolotl

Axolotls are neotenic – meaning they remain in their larval, gill-breathing form and usually do not metamorphose into lunged, land-living adult salamanders. Axolotls can assume various forms including Golden, Leucistic and Albino. The leucistic (white) form displays the dark eyes that many pet owners find more appealing than the blood red blinkers of the albino variety. Here’s a short video of a “dancing” axolotl complete with cute/annoying background music

Albino Koala

Onya-Birri, the only albino koala in captivity, was born September 1, 1997 at the San Diego Zoo. He spent the first six months of his life the way all baby koalas do – inside his mother Banjeeri’s pouch. When he emerged for the first time, zoo staff were likely as surprised as Banjeeri though she has raised Onya-Birri just as she would a non-albinistic cub.

The penguin with glowing yellow eyes

The yellow-eyed penguin, also native to New Zealand, is the rarest and strangest penguin in the world. It can dive to an astounding depth of 400 feet, likes to feed 20 miles from shore, and prefers to nest in the forest rather than on the beach. Penguin families tend to keep to themselves rather than congregate as most penguins do. Because of shoreline deforestation, these unusual-looking penguins are at great risk.

Aye Aye

Sharing something in common with bats, aye ayes are the only primates of the mammal world to rely on echolocation for hunting. The aye aye is a rather unusual cousin of us humans. It lives in spherical nests with a small hole for entry and exit. It uses its long, slender middle finger to tap on trees in order to find tasty insects – and it uses this same finger to scoop them out. Perhaps it is due to its unusually-large eyes and ears that this unique, sensitive primate is believed to be a demon or a bad luck omen. A native of Madagascar, it is often killed at first notice by the island’s superstitious residents.

Kakapo

This is not only the rarest, but the strangest parrot in the world. Imagine a rather portly nocturnal bird that never flies, preferring to hike through hilly forest for miles every night. It weighs in as the heaviest parrot in the world at 8 pounds. Imagine this and you have the very real (but virtually extinct) kakapo. A resident of New Zealand, which is home to a number of rare birds, there are only 62 kakapos remaining on earth. (Bonus fact: New Zealand is full of unusual creatures. It originally had no native land mammals, so its many unique birds evolved in unusual ways – which unfortunately has made them very vulnerable to mammals that were brought in during European colonization.)

Diving with predators

Hold that pose: Sperm whales are the largest living predator on the planet

Diving to depths of three kilometres to feed on giant and colossal squid also makes them the deepest diving mammal.

The clicking sound they make is also the loudest sound made by any animal.

Male whales can grow up to 20.5 metres or 67 feet long and can weigh up to 57,000 kilos.

Cat Sprouts Wings

It's said that every time you hear a bell ring, a cat gets its wings. Oh wait, that's angels. Well, either way, some cats have wings, or wing like protrusions growing from their backs.
In Quingyan province in China, a tabby cat named Tom recently grew its own pair of fur-covered wings. According to the U.K.'s Daily Mail, the wings started as odd growths on the cat's back, they later turned into what looked like wings during a hot spell in China.
The cat's owner, Feng, told the Daily Mail that the wings were stress induced, caused by females harassing the cat to mate.
But genetic experts say the growths are not actually wings. Instead, they are a result of poor grooming, a genetic defect or a hereditary skin condition.
Still, the wing like protrusions do contain bones, but, considering that they're not actually wings, it's not likely the cat will ever gain the ability to fly.

The leafy sea dragon

The leafy sea dragon, Phycodurus eques, is a marine fish in the family Syngnathidae, which also includes the seahorses. It is the only member of the genus Phycodurus. It is found along the southern and western coasts of Australia. The name is derived from the appearance, with long leaf-like protrusions coming from all over the body. These protrusions are not used for propulsion; they serve only as camouflage. The leafy sea dragon propels itself by means of a pectoral fin on the ridge of its neck and a dorsal fin on its back closer to the tail end. These small fins are almost completely transparent and difficult to see as they undulate minutely to move the creature sedately through the water, completing the illusion of floating seaweed.

Naked mole rat

Weirdness factor: Almost totally blind, the naked mole rat is one of only two species of mammals that live in colonies with a caste system, like termites or ants. There’s one queen and sometimes hundreds of workers and soldiers — which are expected to sacrifice themselves in battle should a snake appear (and not lose its appetite). See it in: Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia (and Zoo Atlanta and the National Zoo).

Matamata turtle

Weirdness factor: The knobby, gnarled matamata uses its huge mouth to suck in unsuspecting food sources as they pass by. In Spanish, matamata means “it kills, it kills.”

See it in: The Amazon River in Brazil, and in parts of Trinidad and Guyana (and the Honolulu Zoo and San Diego Zoo).

Aye-aye

Tired of seeing run-of-the-mill lions, tigers, and bears? Then say "oh my!" to these oddball creatures at zoos and sanctuaries worldwide.

Aye-aye

Weirdness factor: Where to start? The aye-aye is a kind of lemur, with large round ears that rotate independently. How does it eat? There are no woodpeckers in Madagascar, but the aye-aye has evolved to feed like one, using its long middle finger to scoop out grubs in tree bark.

Proboscis monkey

Weirdness factor: The male proboscis monkey has a pendulous nose that is thought to amplify his calls to females (and his warnings to big-nosed rivals). The most dominant male usually has the biggest nose and can collect a harem of five to eight females.

Lizard with Two Tails

As if that’s not enough, another weird animal was captured in Malaysia: a two-tailed lizard:

Farmer Ahmad Mustafa caught the unusual green lizard with a split tail near his house last month in the northern state of Penang, the New Straits Times said in a report accompanied by a photograph of the strange reptile.

Fed a diet of worms, the lizard is now 5.9 inches long "and it has found a special place in Ahmad’s heart," the Times said.

This tamarin lives in the southwest Amazon Basin, in east Peru, north Bolivia and in the west Brazilian states of Acre and Amazonas.

Star-nosed Mole

The Star-nosed Mole is a small North American mole found in eastern Canada and the north-eastern United States. It lives in wet lowland areas and eats small aquatic insects, worms and mollusks. It is a good swimmer and can forage along the bottoms of streams and ponds. Like other moles, this animal digs shallow surface tunnels for foraging; often, these tunnels exit underwater.

The Deep Sea Angler Fish

The Sea Angler Fish is a deep sea fish that throws his angle and captures his pray. You will see this in the video that i 'will show you at the end of this post. Angler fish live on the depths of abyss. This fish hasn't many treats on those depths, but the Lophius is one of those treats. These fishes are still mysterious just as the other fishes that live on the depths of abyss. The fish itself is a delicacy in japan and it costs around 100$ to 200$ for one fish. If you're wondering how this fish tastes, it tastes like lobster.

Fangtooth Fish

The Fantooth Fish also called the ogrfish is a middle deep sea creature fish that is very muscular. These fishes have big teeths, but are harmless to humans. The Fantooth Fish has the largest teeths of the ocean and can reach a size of 16 cm in lenght. They can be kept for months in aquariums which have totally different conditions than on depths of 200-2000 meters where they can be found.

Rare Goblin Shark

The Goblin Shark or Also Called the Mitsukurina owstoni was first discovered in Japan, but shortly after that they have discovered other specimens in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. They have a long snout in front of there head and they aren't bigger then a normal sharks size. They mainly feed on deep sea creatures and squids. These sharks are extremely rare and some of them are even found on depths of 4000 feets. Watch the video and you will see a prehistoric shark called the Goblin Shark!
