The fleshy appendages that ring the snout of the star-nosed mole, shown here, make it one strange-looking creature. But when it comes to eating, those 22 tentacles help the mole detect and devour food faster than the human eye can follow – in a fraction of a second. Researchers say the speedy feeding allows the mole to prey on small insect larvae that would otherwise be too energetically costly to eat. The creature lives and forages under the cover of marshes and wetlands along the east coast of North America.

Nope this is not photoshop manipulated. A female polar bear named Pelusa turned purple after she was given a special treatment to clear up a skin condition. This has attracted crowds at the Mendoza City Zoo in Argentina. The fur has returned to normal after a few days.

Purple Frog (Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis)


This is one of the freakiest looking creatures on Earth - the Purple Frog. It is also known as Pignose Frog and is native to Western Ghats in India. The frog's reclusive lifestyle is what caused the species to escape earlier notice by biologists. It was discovered only in 2003. This frog's cry sounds more like one from a chicken. The frog spends most of the year underground, surfacing only for about two weeks, during the monsoon, for purposes of mating.

梳子水母。由于海平面和海底间存在巨大的水压落差，人们还无法展出活的海底生物。如果要将海底生物活着运抵陆地，必须准备一个特殊的水容器，使之拥有与海底同样的温度和压力，以保持这些生物所适应的生存环境。

庞贝虫或叫刚毛虫，10到15厘米长，是目前世界上最耐热的动物，它喜欢70度的热度。它能降低周围的温度，这样即使近距离接触细菌也能使自己活下来。

Hatchetfish


The Hatchetfish is named for its thin, silvery, hatchet-like appearance, but is on this list for the fact that its eyes are permanently fixed overhead in what looks like an adaptation to the ever-present horror of predators lurking overhead.

The Leafy Sea Dragon


The Leafy Sea Dragon is a type of seahorse that has evolved leaf-like fins that act as camouflage to give the fish the appearance of a clump of floating seaweed. If I had a salt-water aquarium, it would be filled with these things

THE COLOSSOL SQUID


On average, the Colossal squid is only about 3 feet longer than the Giant, but it’s much heavier, and it has light-emitting organs that marine biologists suspect may act as a cloaking device. That’s like a Klingon Bird of Prey that doubles as a Calamari buffet.
