The adorable Dumbo octopus is an umbrella octopus and they are found all around the world. Their name comes from Disney’s “Dumbo” because the creature’s ears bear similarity to the movie’s title character.
These creatures swim by flapping their “ears” or propelling water through their funnel, somewhat like a squid. These guys are surprisingly fast and can easily evade predators through their small size and ability to hide away.
Amazon Giant Fishing Spider
Places like the Amazon are home to some of the most beautiful, unique, and captivating creatures on Earth. Unfortunately, they are also home to some of the most dangerous and scary ones too. This harsh and moist environment has led to some extreme mutations, but almost none of them compare to the giant fishing spider.
This creature tends to grow up to eight inches in length and is an excellent fisherman. The Amazon giant fishing spider loves to camp on the water's surface before taking a swing through the underwater sea life and having his dinner. If you ever find yourself in the Amazon, we recommend staying as far away as possible from this terrifying hybrid.
Venezuelan Poodle Moth
This fluffy little insect was discovered in Venezuela only as recently in 2009, this new species has still not been properly studied, so there is not much we know about them. They tend to grow to about 1 inch or around 2,5 cm in size.
This alien-looking moth has big bulging eyes, spiky antennas, and poofy-like fur covering its head, thorax, abdomen, and even wings.
Macropinna Microstoma
This species of fish lives at a depth of about 600 meters to 800 meters, and can often be found hanging almost motionless in the water. They use their ultra-sensitive tubular eyes to search for distant silhouettes of prey overhead.
It is quite unique with a transparent, fluid-filled cover on its head, through which the lenses of its eyes can be seen.
Irrawaddy Dolphin
Irrawaddy Dolphin is an aquatic dolphin found in the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia. Quite sadly, there are very few individuals that still exist, making them very scarce. They are mostly found in the 118-mile stretch of the river between Cambodia and Laos.
They feed principally on fish, which they find with sonar since they are nearly blind. Their most notable feature is a round head with no distinct beak.
