1. SHOEBILL

Yes, this is a real bird, and no, it’s not a terrifying monster of the skies, though they do fly, and their wingspan can reach a whopping eight feet!.

The shoebill (also known as a shoe-billed stork or whalehead) is a very large, storklike bird found in the swamps and tropic of East Africa.

Due to habitat destruction, they are currently a vulnerable species.

5. AFRICAN GOLIATH FROG.

Frog or dinosaur?
It’s definitely a frog, though it’s hard to imagine seeing this Kermit in your backyard!

Found in Cameroon, these giant critters can live up to 15 years, and are happy to devour anything from insects and bugs to snakes even other frogs. Terrifying.

6. This giant moth is one of the many that invaded Malaysia!


A real-life Mothra, these moths may be massive, but they’re nothing to be afraid of, as they’re harmless to humans.

Earlier last year, a swarm of thousands o these big guys got people in Malaysia really excited as they descended into people’s homes and even interrupted a football match!

This terrifying sea creature is rare and poorly understood by scientists, and as it family lineage goes back 125 million years, it’s known as a “living fossil.”
Goblin sharks live at ocean depths greate than 330 feet throughout the world, so it’ not a threat or danger to humans.

No way to link your claim. These are just animals that have undergone evolutional development.

The only surviving relative of the dinasors is the Crocodile.
