7) Aye-aye



The aye-aye is a nocturnal lemur native to Madagascar. It is the world’s largest nocturnal creature. It has prominent eyes, rodent like teeth and a long bushy tail. It is renowned for 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. It is the only extant member of the genus, although it is currently an endangered species. A second species, daubentonia robusta) appears to have become extinct at some point within the last 1000 years.

Cool Yangtze river dolphin



Also known as the Baiji, the Whitefin dolphin, it is found only in the Yangtze River in China. Unfortunately, due to China’s industrialization, this animal has been ‘functionally extinct’ and there are only between 0-13 yangtze dolphin’s left in the world.

9) Blobfish



 The blobfish is a deep sea fish that inhabits the waters off the coasts of Australia and Tasmania. It is rarely seen by humans due to the detachment of its habitat. The flesh of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water which helps the fish to stay afloat without burning up all its energy on swimming. It normally swallows edible matter that floats in front of it.

10) Platypus



The platypus is a semi-aquatic mammal. It is prevalent in  eastern Australia, including Tasmania. It is one of the five existing species of monotremes, the only mamms that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. It is also one of the few venomous mammals with the male Platypus having a spur on the hind foot which delivers a poison capable of causing severe pain to humans.
