Hi my friends !!! What is your favorite animal?

Sunda Colugo. This nocturnal and strictly arboreal creature can glide around from tree to tree all while looking like something a raver might hallucinate on mushroom bender.

Babirusa. If the babirusa doesn't grind down its tusks through regular activity, the tusks will keep growing until eventually penetrating the animal's own skull.

Star-Nosed Mole. There are 11 pairs of pink fleshy appendages ringing its snout that help it to both feel around, and terrify me.

Yeti Crab. This marine decapod (a 5-appendaged crustacean) lives near hydrothermal vents and other sources of heat in the deep sea.

Gerenuk. "Gerunk" is Somali for "giraffe-necked". They stand on their hind legs to reach higher leaves than can be reached by other gazelles and antelope.

Cyphonia Clavata. This species of treehopper evolved an ant-like appendage out of its head to disguise its delicious-looking body from predators.
