It’s a great time to be an animal-lover! With the powers of the internet and plenty of mind-blowing nature docs at our disposal – did someone say Planet Earth? – we literally have access to the animal kingdom at our fingertips.
That said, there are so many species out there in the world, we feel that we’ve just scratched the surface when it comes to familiarizing ourselves with some of the more “off-beat” creatures. Because of this, we scoured the web for the most unusual animals we could find— and boy, were we left impressed. Here are 9 of the most unique animals you have NEVER seen!
1.Blobfish
Two things here: yes, the blobfish is actually a REAL animal, and yes, it is very ugly. So ugly, in fact, an organization called the Ugly Animal Preservation Society named the deep sea swimmer its official mascot in 2013. Talk about a back-handed compliment!
2.White Liger
At a big cat preserve in South Carolina in 2013, four legends were born in the form of the very first litter of white ligers. “What’s a liger?” you ask? Well, a cross between a tiger and a lion. “What’s a WHITE liger?” An animal whose parents are a white lion and a white tiger. Amazing stuff!
