I thought it might be fun to do thread on one of my favorite things, wierd and rare animals of the world. Here is a couple to kick things off.
Chinese Giant Salamander
They are the largest living amphibians known today growing around three feet long. They hunt mainly at night, and as they have poor eyesight, use sensory nodes on their head and body to detect minute changes in water pressure, allowing them to detect their prey. In United States, Hellbender Salamanders grow around two feet long.
frilled shark
The Awashima Marine Park in Shizuoka, south of Tokyo, was alerted by a fisherman at a nearby port on Sunday that he had spotted an odd-looking eel-like creature with a mouthful of needle-sharp teeth.
Marine park staff caught the 1.6 metre (5 ft) long creature, which they identified as a female frilled shark, sometimes referred to as a "living fossil" because it is a primitive species that has changed little since prehistoric times.
