5 Animal-faced Strange World

Axolotl


Species that exist only in Lake Xochimilco, Meksisko, axolotl (means "water monster" in Nahuatl, the Aztec language) is actually a type of salamander. Apart from a funny face, they also have red hair which is a unique gills resembling feathers. This salamander species usually preserves the ability of his body throughout his life (also called neotheny). Unfortunately, these rare amphibians threatened with extinction because of pollution and hunted in some parts of Mexico to eat.
Rats Nose Land Star

These rats were given the name because the shape of star nose of meat on his nose, covered with sensory receptors that enhance the ability of touch, because this animal is actually very bad vision. Star nose mole is recorded is the swimmers and divers as well as a great digger. Like other moles, this animal eat earthworms, grubs and anything slimy in the soil. Found in Canada and the northern United States.
Hatchetfish

Fish body occupant of this gap is very small (the largest species known only measuring 12 cm), and harmless, but his face was like a dream buruk.Hatchetfish is proof that we do not have sharp teeth or eyes glowing red to be spooky. This fish is found in tropical and subtropical waters around the world, creatures that eat the smaller the gap, such as copepods (a type of crustaceans).
Aye Aye

Arguably the most bizarre appearance of primates (humans do not count of course), aye aye got big ears like a bat, the eyes are yellow and look a lot like gremlins (a comedy horror film in America). These animals actually became the inspiration for the monster-like Gremlin in film series Primeval, which recounted his descendants to haunt an empty house.


Aye aye found in Madagascar and is endangered because of habitat destruction and killed because the people in the country is not like the creature because it was considered bad luck.
Naked Mice

Appearance of these mice without fur, wrinkled, pale pink skin and have black eyes that glow. But one thing is very interesting is the bulge of two very large teeth at all, which actually grew through the lips.

So that these mice do not have to open your mouth at the time whittling down the road on the ground. Gigi is so powerful that the famous naked mole can gnaw concrete.
