u forgot the hammer head salamander ..
Diplocaulus had a stocky, salamander -like body, but was relatively large, reaching up to 1 m (3.3 ft) in length. Its most distinctive features were the long protrusions on the sides of its
skull , giving the head a boomerang shape. [1] Judging from its weak limbs and relatively short tail, it is presumed to have swum with an up-and-down movement of its body, similar to modern whales and dolphins . The wide head could have acted like a fin, helping the creature glide through the water. Another possibility is that the shape was defensive, since even a large predator would have a hard time trying to swallow a creature with such a wide head. [2]

Okay. Thanks for the brief and detailed information. You can write for us free. We would appreciate your contributions.

Sometimes you might be wondering what else could be so bizarre beyond what you have seen and heard.

But little did you know that the mysteries hidden deep down the rabbit hole is far-fetched.

Every year, scientists discover new species of human neighbors (animals).

And with this ever-increasing list of animals, there are some animals that will surprise anyone they could ever exist.

Postingday top5 strangest animals on earth include animals with scary looks, good dancing skill and those with dazzling anatomy that violates the human standard of normal.

1. Star-nose mole (Blind Mole)
The star-nosed mole is a functionally blind animal characterized by its twenty-two pink appendages which rings its snout. These appendages contain above 25,000 minutes Eimer's organ (sensory receptors) acting as touch organ.

The Eimer's organ also allows the mole to smell even under water; a function thought to be impossible in mammals.

2. Yeti Crab

Kiwa hirsuta is its real name; Yeti crab was the name scientist dubbed it.

This animal which was discovered in 2005 in South Pacific Ocean famous for its pereiopods being covered by a substance that looks like fur (silky blond setae).

This decapod's eyes is significantly reduced, so, it is considered blind. The silky blond setae contain filamentous bacteria which can be used to detoxify lethal minerals from the water emitted by the hydrothermal vents where it lives.

3. Walking Fish

The striking thoughts of a walking fish would surely sound bizarre to a lot of people because we all grew up with the ideology that a fish cannot walk. But let's blow your mind with our discoveries.

Axolotl which is also known as Mexican Walking Fish is not a fish but an amphibian. This neotenic salamander is used extensively in scientific research due to its ability to regenerate limbs.

Scientists are tirelessly searching for ways to regenerate human lost limbs which is applaudable; could give hope and happiness to people especially soldiers who lost their limbs in war.

The axolotl is however feared to be going into extinction due to consequent water pollution in Mexico City where it is found.

4. Cantor's Giant Soft Shelled Turtle

A turtle with a soft shell? exactly what we thought when we discovered this.

Our crucial questions were, how will it defend itself from predators?

It is astonishing thou that this world's largest freshwater turtle is an ambush predator and primarily carnivorous, feeding on crustaceans, mollusks, and fish; seldom eats aquatic plants too.

The turtle spends 95 percent of its lifetime buried and motionless, with its eyes and mouth protruding from the sand. It surfaces only twice a day to take a breath and could lay about 20–28 eggs.

5. Superb Bird of Paradise

Vogelkop Superb Bird-of-Paradise is strange not for its look or features, but for its distinctive ability to dance.

If you are a bad dancer, download videos of this dancing bird to learn some good moves.

The female is known to be dominating than the male. There is a huge margin between the population of male and female. The scarcity of females results in a fierce competition between males -- the best dancer takes the girl.

A female rejects about 15-20 suitors before consenting.

This fascinating species can be found in New Guinea.

The greatest. Respect to this man

You might be wondering who and what they are?. But the best way to study any member of nature’s community is to visit its home.

Let me prepare your mind before you read further; you will be reading both the good and bad part of the Northerners (popularly called Hausa) as observed by me, an outsider.

okay, let’s start our funfilled journey into the badlands. These are things I observed during my stay in the north, among the Hausa people;

1. Tolerance

The first thing that amazed me about Hausas during my first day is how slow they are to anger ― with each other especially.

“Mallam, kada kada!!” meaning Mr., Small Small (or easy). That was what I shouted at the bike man conveying me to a destination. He almost hit an oncoming bike. I thought the encounter will result in fists exchange as I have seen in the South and West. To my surprise, the only words they exchanged was a greeting with the smile.

This repeatedly happened in all of the same occurrences I witnessed.

2. Subtle Begging

The first day I saw this well-planned begging style, I was repairing my phone with a Hausa man. A lady with make-over (many of their girls always wear make-up), enters saying greetings to the man. The man gave her N50 and she dipped her hand into a bowl carried by a small boy, bringing out something that looks like beans cake. Oh! I forgot to tell you, there are about seven lads trolling behind her. You still don’t get it?! The children are what they call Almajiris.

She prepares the beans cake (look-like) and distributes the equivalent of the amount of alms she receives to the children. This is a case of using the money to make money.

3. Hardwork

Another way these important tribe in Nigeria caught me off-guard was their business methods and how they try to earn a living. Before my visit to the north, in my thought, I divided the three important tribes in Nigeria based on what I think they are proficient with and in.

Yoruba (Education), Igbo (Business), and Hausa (Farming).

To my utmost surprise, northerners are lovers of business as much as Ibos ― if not more industrious than Ibos. They do any work available with awesome customer service. Their children can be found selling different things ranging from sachet water to chinchin. Seeing the hustle spirit in these kids makes me realize you can survive anywhere, anytime without depending on anybody.

4. Extremely Dominating

I experienced a mixed feeling of surprise and confirmation of my suspicion when I discovered this no. 4 in the Hausas. They are not easily dominated, but they love being dominated. Just like the park of wolves where everyone wants to lead but always bow to the leader chosen.

Whenever there is an argument, they are always in support of the person who appears dominating irrespective of who is right or wrong. This is however different in an instance where a fight ensues between one of them and an outsider; they support their own.

5. Free Feeling Expression

Irrespective of who you are, they always voice their feeling(s) about you, to your face. Maybe that is why they have fewer gossipers ― come on! I wouldn’t know.
