Comments(126) Alpaca
The Alpaca is a domesticated species of South American camelid developed from the wild alpacas. It resembles a sheep in appearance, but is larger and has a long erect neck as well as coming in many colors, whereas sheep are generally bred to be white and black. [source]
Aardvark
The Aardvark, sometimes called “antbear” is a medium-sized mammal native to Africa. The name comes from the Afrikaans/Dutch for “earth pig”, because early settlers from Europe thought it resembled a pig. More like a flying However, the Aardvark is not closely related to pigs, being placed in its own order. [source]
Aye-aye
baby
grown-up
The Aye-aye is a strepsirrhine native to Madagascar that combines rodent-like teeth with a long, thin middle finger to fill the same ecological niche as a woodpecker. It is the world’s largest nocturnal primate, and is characterized by its unique method of finding food; it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood and inserts its elongated middle finger to pull the grubs out. [source]
Bald Uakari
The Bald Uakari, also known as the Red Uakari or Bald-headed Uakari, is a distinctive red-faced monkey found in swampy forests in Brazil, Peru, and Colombia. The species is considered “near threatened” by the 2004 World Conservation Union (IUCN) Red List because of hunting and the destruction of its habitat.[source]
Babirusa
The Babirusa or pig-deer, Babyrousa babyrussa, is a pig-like animal native to Sulawesi and surrounding islands of Indonesia. The babirusa has usually been classified as a single species in the genus Babyrousa, but recent work suggests that there may be several species, differentiable on the basis of geography, body size, amount of body hair, and the shape of the upper canine tooth of the male. Most experts agree that babirusas are part of the pig family, and are one of the oldest living members of the family, representing a subfamily, Babyrousinae, that branched off from the warthog branch of the pig family (Subfamily Phacochoerini) during the Oligocene or early Miocene.

Binturong
The Binturong, also known as the Asian Bearcat, the Palawan Bearcat, or just simply the Bearcat, is neither a bear nor a cat but is a species of the family Viverridae, which includes the civets and genets. The real meaning of the original name is lost, as the local language that gave it is extinct. Its natural habitat is forest canopy, and it spends most of its time in the trees of southeast Asia, Borneo, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Palawan Island. [source]
Hyraxes
A hyrax is any of four species of fairly small, thickset, herbivorous mammals in the order Hyracoidea. They live in Africa and the Middle East.
Hyraxes are well-furred rotund creatures with a mere stump for a tail. They are about the size of a Corgi; most measure between about 30 and 70 cm long and weigh between 2 and 5 kg. From a distance, a hyrax could be mistaken for a very well-fed rabbit or guinea pig. [source]
Naked Mole Rat
The Naked Mole Rat (Heterocephalus glaber), also known as the Sand Puppy, or Desert Mole Rat, is a burrowing rodent native to parts of East Africa and the only species currently classified in genus Heterocephalus. It is notable for its eusocial lifestyle, nearly unique among mammals, and for a highly unusual set of physical traits that enables it to thrive in a harsh, underground environment; including a lack of pain sensation in its skin, and a nearly cold-blooded metabolism. [source]
Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis
Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis is a frog species from the Western Ghats, India. Common names for this species are Purple Frog or Pignose Frog. It was discovered in October 2003 and was found to be unique for the geographic region and was consequently initially placed in a family of its own. It was subsequently placed in a family that was earlier known only from the Seychelles island chain. [source]
Philippine Tarsier
The Philippine Tarsier (Tarsius syrichta), known locally as the Mawmag in Cebuano/Visayan, is an endangered tarsier species endemic to the Philippines. It is found in the southeastern part of the archipelago, particularly in the provinces of Bohol, Samar, Leyte, and Mindanao, Philippines. Its name is derived from its elongated “tarsus” or ankle bone. [source]
Pygmy Marmoset
The Pygmy Marmoset (Callithrix (Cebuella) pygmaea) is a monkey native to the rainforest canopies of western Brazil, southeastern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, and eastern Peru. It is one of the smallest primates, with its body length ranging from 14-16 cm (excluding the 15-20 cm tail) and the smallest monkey. Males weigh around 140 g (5 ounces), and females only 120 g (4.2 ounces). [source]
Sloths
Sloths are medium-sized mammals that live in Central and South America belonging to the families Megalonychidae and Bradypodidae, part of the order Pilosa. Most scientists call these two families the Folivora suborder, while some call it Phyllophaga. [source]
Tasmanian Devil
The Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii), also referred to simply as ‘the devil’, is a carnivorous marsupial now found in the wild only in the Australian island state of Tasmania. The Tasmanian Devil is the only extant member of the genus Sarcophilus. The size of a small dog, but stocky and muscular, the Tasmanian Devil is now the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world (after the recent extinction of the Thylacine in 1936). It is characterised by its black fur, offensive odour when stressed, extremely loud and disturbing screech, and viciousness when feeding. It is known to both hunt prey and scavenge carrion and although it is usually solitary, it sometimes eats with other devils. [source]
Tibetan Fox
The Tibetan Fox, also called the Tibetan Sand Fox or simply the Sand Fox, is a species of true fox that inhabits the high Tibetan Plateau in Nepal, China, and India, up to altitudes of about 5300 m. The fox was first described by the British naturalist Brian Houghton Hodgson in 1842. It has the highest sound sensitivity of all foxes. [source]
White-faced Saki
The White-faced Saki, also known as the Guianan Saki and the Golden-faced Saki, is a species of saki monkey, a type of New World monkey, found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. This monkey mostly feed on fruits, but also nuts, seeds, and insects. [source]
But remember… they are “usually” more affraid of you then you are of them
the aardvark it’s kinda cute
some of these animals ive seen b4 but some are tottaly like weird…like ive seen the sloth.
that little boy shouldnt be so afraid of that animal, i mean look at his face!!!! lol :-]
the nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis is a FROG?
Those are some ugly animals.
Holy cow..remind me never to eat frog legs..yech, that is one ugly sucker
You should also mention that the Hyrax (also called Rock Hyrax) is the closest living relative to the Elephant… at least, according to the exhibit of Rock Hyraxes I saw years ago at the Denver Zoo…
That Sloth looks like he’s just partied out. The way he’s laying, with that goofy kind of smile on his face. It just cracked me up.
That kid looks absolutely terrified! Im really sorry, but its an absolute crack up! LOL
reps
that kid is the most frightend kid i know although that horses was preety scary lol
(.) (.)

hahaha !!! that is funny animals and a little bit groce byakh hahahaha
[...] 19 08 2007 stumbled onto another website listing weird animals. They all usually list the same animals but I finally found a new [...]
moss, i too recall that exhibit.
hyraxes are indeed paenungulates, as are elephants and manatees. and all three are afrotheres, along with the aardvarks, elephant shrews, tenrecs, and golden moles.
the trouble with the claim they are the closest relative to elephants is awkward at best. you see, hyraxes gave rise to larger “aquatic” forms that led to manatees and elephants both. it could be said that elephants and hyraxes are both more closely related to manatees than any other connection.
i grew up with books on animals, whereas my friends all knew the stats of baseball players. go figure.
So where are the creepy animals? All I see are beautiful examples of our earth’s incredible diversity.
Oh, wait…..The creepy animals are the jerks who posted these pictures. They lack the intelligence to appreciate the beauty of these unique creatures.
I have known their type before. They automatically kill or degrade anything new or different or anything they don’t understand.
Ha, sounds like someone was made fun of a bit too much in high school. Cool animals.
Faces only a mother could love!! Especially the little boy, LOL
Creepy! I think the platypus should be posted too. That is one crazy looking animal!
Great blog.

Wow, really cool. I think the aardvark is my new favorite animal. It looks so surreal, like something from a science fiction movie or such…
*Thumbs up*

Creepy is not the word I would have chosen, because I agree with commenters above, they are beautiful examples of diversity.

GO POKE BALL! YAY! I CAUGHT AN AARDVARK!

You need to find pictures of naked mole rats and post them. They are pretty incredible little creatures. I really enjoyed these photos. Animals are better than most people I know.
LOL aardvark “also called antbear” ummm…. ANT EATER MAYBE?
sloths is smiling ha ha
The sloth looks stoned!
Loved the Tibetan Fox.
That last pic was a classic
way to rip off a Something Awful thread
It’s pretty pathetic for that last boy to be so afraid of what looks like nothing but a damn donkey. People are so far removed from the natural world these days that they are scared to death of everything in nature. Big pussy generation.
Besides, some of these animals are sort of odd but cute instead of creepy. The Tibetan fox looks wise somehow.
ive got these at home
text me 0211519267, im not a wierdo or nothing hahahaha random. these animals are crazy! some ive never seen or heard of befor
they looked so funny…………………………
The sloth could be the missing link. It’s face is almost human. Reminds me of somebody I saw at a bar last week.

I have to agree that the alpaca is not all that creepy, but the Babirusa? . . . Didn’t they base The Village on something that looked like that thing?
AWESOME
Whitewulf, you need to stfu.
All of these animals are unique and that’s what makes them beautiful. Anyone who has the nerve to make fun of them are the ugly ones. Their souls are ugly.
