The Most Unique Animals Of Planet Earth 🦋🌏 | Part I

"The earth has it´s music for those who will listen" - George Santayana

1. RED LIPPED BATFISH

The red lipped fish named after Ogcocephalus darwini, is a deepwater fish and found near the Galapagos Islands. His lips are very big and looking like Twizzlers melting in the sun. Instead of really swimming, it walk on fins modified to walk like feet. The fish usually grows to about 25cm, about the length of a borrito. 

2. MANTIS SHRIMP

Seven receptors are enough to recognize all the colors of the world. But the cancer of the Fang has twelve. The predatory crushers hit their victims at a speed of about 85 kilometers per hour although this happens under water. I dont want to think about how it hurts on air!

3. BLOBFISH

The blobfish was honored as the ugliest animal alive. The fish lives in depth of up to 800m and is rarely seen by humans. This fish is totally inedible! 

4. GLAUCUS

The glaucus, also called blue dragon or blue angel, is a carnivores and is very tiny as you can see here. 

These little screws are living in all oceans in this world.

5. OPAH

I am not sure if "opah" is the right meaning for this fish. In german its called "Mondfisch". Anyway, this picture which you have seen above is not a fake picture! The photographer Daniel Botelho shot this amazing picture while he was doing some photographs on behalf of "National Geographic". This fish is the largest bone fish in the world. It weights 2,3 tons but is faster in swimming as it seems! While Botelho was going into the water, he saw five of those opah fishes and just 1 second after, there was only 1 fish left. 

6. DASYMUTILLA GLORIOSA

Only one bite of the velvet ant can be very painful. It is less an ant than a wasp. Especially the females are known dor their painful sting. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you ever heard of those animals before? 

This is the proof why I like the nature so much. I am always surprised of what exists on this planet. Look at all the colors of the mantis shrimp. Or those juicy lips of the red lipped batfish. The massive opah is also very inspiring. 

I hope you enjoyed part I of this series. 

Thanks for reading 

Stay focused

Love, Soldier
