Here are some photos of interesting animals:
Aye-aye -Nocturnal primate from Madagascar. The Aye-aye is an endangered species due to their habitat being destroyed and native superstition. The Aye-aye is viewed by villagers as the bringer of death and killed on sight. The villagers believe that if one should point its long middle finger at you that means you'll die.
Star-nosed Mole -A small North American mole found in eastern Canada and the north-eastern United States
Narwhal -Arctic mammal with long tusk related to whales, dolphins and porpoises
Okapi -mammal of the
Ituri Rainforest in central Africa, closely related to the giraffe. Discover by Western society in 1901.
Angora rabbit - one of the oldest types of
domesticated rabbit, originating in Turkey. They have a special name in German, "
menschenheilkaninchen", which loosely translates as "mystical, magical, human healing rabbit". They are bred largely for their long angora wool, which is removed by shearing, plucking, or combing. No rabbits were harmed in the making of your sweater :)
Leafy sea dragon - marine fish related to the seahorse found around southern and western Australia
Slender Loris -small mammal (about 5 inches) found in India and
Sri Lanka
