You Cant Believe This: Animals You Never Knew Existed by christopher123(m): 3:29pm On Nov 20, 2014
Okapi
The Okapi is native to the Democratic republic of Congo, which is located in Central Africa. This animal is a mammal and kind of looks like a pig mixed with a Zebra. While the stripes it has make it look like a Zebra the Okapi is closely related to the giraffe.

Thorny Dragon
The name of the Thorny Dragon pretty well describes the lizard as appearing like a dragon with tons of thorns. This lizard has a fake head to protect itself and it is colored desert brown like its environment. This animal is mostly found in the desert and it spends most of its time trying to hide itself from other predators. If you want to see a lizard that looks like a dragon, then you need to check out some pictures of the Thorny Dragon.

Shoebill
This bird was originally discovered by the ancient Egyptians, but it was only classified in the 1800s. This bird looks like a stork, but its beak is the shape of a shoebill. Check out pictures of this animal if you are looking for a truly unique bird.

Indian Purple Frog
As the name implies this frog is found in India. The frog is a kind of brownish purple, kind of the color of purple mud. While it is a frog it looks more like a leech because it is extremely bloated. The frog also has a pointy snout. The frog spends most of its life underground mating with other frogs. For two weeks out of every year the frog comes up to the surface of the earth. This extremely ugly creature is definitely worth taking a look at.

The Blue Parrotfish
This fish is extremely large and is also extremely bright blue. The fish is so bright blue that you will not believe that it is real. The fish is found in the Atlantic Ocean and it spends most of its life searching for food in the ocean. If you want to see an unbelievably bright blue fish, then you should check out pictures of the Blue Parrotfish.

The Bush Viper
There are tons of unique snakes in the world, but the bush viper may be the most unique one in existence. The bush Viper has lots of spikes and thus looks a little bit like a dragon. This animal is found in the tropical rainforests of Africa. This snake does its hunting at night and it is a carnivorous predator.

The Saiga Antelope
This antelope is typically found in Eastern Europe or in Western Asia. It has a strange looking nose that is extremely flexible. Other than its nose it looks like a normal antelope. The Saiga Antelope is a truly unique animal.

Venezuelan Poodle Moth
This moth was only recently discovered in the country of Venezuela. Until 2009, we did not even know that the moth existed. Since this is a recent discovery there is not much known about the moth. The moth looks very fluffy and so it looks kind of like a poodle.

The Pacu Fish
The Pacu Fish is an extremely strange looking fish. This fish is found in Papua New Guinea. It has extremely sharp and human like teeth. If you see the inside of this fish’s mouth you will be scared to get in the waters of New Guinea. Fishermen living in New Guinea often saw that they are scared for their safety due to the existence of these fish.

Mantis Shrimp
These shrimp are also known as “sea locusts”. There is little known about these creatures because they spend a large amount of their life hiding in burrows so that they can hunt more effectively. Even though we do not know a lot about these animals we do know that they are an extremely common predator in tropical waters. These shrimps look extremely alien in nature and they are definitely worth looking at.
