10+ Cool And Unique Animals In The World You Should Not Ignore

There are more than 8 million species of living things on Earth, therefore it makes sense that no one has ever seen or learned about them all. And, if you spent 30 seconds on each image and did it nonstop for eight years without taking pauses for food or sleep, you could view all 8 million images of the amazing animals that inhabit the planet. However, this operation sounds quite unrealistic with scientists discovering new rare animal that seem unreal every day. In order to save you from spending a decade investigating the species yourself, we have selected the most unique animals of the bunch.

#1. Unique Animal: Snub-nosed Monkey

unique animal
Snub-nosed monkeys are a group of Old World monkeys that live in diverse regions of Asia. They receive their name from the short stump of a nose on their round face, with nostrils arranged forward. Their fur is relatively long and multicolored, especially on the shoulders and backs. They also reach a length of 51 to 83 cm, with a tail that can reach 97 cm in length.

#2. Unique Animal: Shoebill

unique animal
The shoebill stork has a bill shaped like a shoe. Also of note about this amazing animal? Some shoebills can reach heights of over 4 feet, extraordinarily tall. And shoebills are really good predators, unlike many other birds that live in similar marshy settings. Their long legs are perfect for traversing shallow waters, where they prey on reptiles, rodents, and fish. They have even been known to attack baby crocodiles!

#3. Unique Animal: Sea Pen

unique animal
Invertebrates that anchor on the seafloor are not uncommon, but sea pens possess a few standout features. For one thing, they resemble vintage quill pens. For another, they exhibit entirely extraordinary behavior. Sea pens settle in clusters and, when activated, emit a bright green light that is visible on the seafloor. It looks like someone flipped on a light switch, especially when groups emit light in sequence.

#4. Unique Animal: Mantis Shrimp

unique animal
The mantis shrimp is ancient, fierce, and more than a little weird. They are a unique species that have existed in various forms for an estimated 400 million years. They are so incredibly powerful that their appendages, called "clubs" can break open clams and crab shells. These clubs can also be used to deliver 500 punches in less than a second, which would be strong enough to smash the glass. That's not all, either. These shrimp are hit with pinpoint accuracy due to their exceptional eyesight.

#5. Unique Animal: Amazonian Royal Flycatcher

unique animal
The family of tyrant flycatchers includes the Amazonian Royal Flycatcher, which is a passerine bird. Most of the Amazon basin's forests and woodlands contain them. They are normally found in low concentrations but are nevertheless widely distributed and frequent, according to BirdLife International, which classifies them as being of Least Concern. Their length is around 6 1/2 inches, and they enjoy darting out from branches to snag flying insects or remove them off leaves.

#6. Unique Animal: Parrotfish

unique animal
You can find parrotfish in tropical reef environments, where they use their external teeth to break algae off rocks, coral, and other hardened substrates. They are able to survive thanks to their talent in environments where many other species cannot. Another entertaining fact? Parrotfish defecate sand. Surprisingly, a large portion of the sand particles on white-sand beaches is actually parrotfish waste.

#7. Unique Animal: Sun Bear

unique animal
When people think of bears, they often imagine the big, fast, and potentially dangerous kinds: polar, grizzly, brown, and black. Sun bears, distinct from all of their cousins, are sometimes overlooked by them. Adult sun bears weigh less than 100 pounds, making them the smallest bears in the world. However, their extraordinarily lengthy tongues, which can reach nine inches, are what really set them apart. Also known as "honey bears," sun bears climb trees to find honeycomb, and their tongues come in handy when they lick out their loot.

#8. Unique Animal:  Glass Frog

unique animal
You can see through the extraordinary glass frog just like you can see through glass. Many of these frogs have lime-green skin, but some have completely bare undersides, exposing their internal organs to view. Their speckled backs are equally fascinating. Scientists assume that they are designed to resemble eggs so that predators pursuing their young are misled.

#9. Lyrebird

unique animal
Lyrebirds could easily win a talent show for their ability to mimic sounds in their environment. In truth, this trait exists in other birds, but lyrebirds take things to a whole new level. They can imitate just about any sound, including industrial equipment and power tools.

#10. Markhor

unique animal
Due to the corkscrew-shaped horns on its head, this unusual wild goat is also known as a "screw horn goat." Unlike most goats, which can appear a little silly, the markhor strikes a majestic pose, with a long beard that clearly demonstrates wisdom. The species is a rare example of a conservation success story; its numbers have increased by 20%, and it is no longer listed as endangered.

#11. Flightless Cormorant

unique animal
28 of the 29 cormorant species found in the globe can be seen gliding over water before landing to catch fish. However, one, known simply as the flightless cormorant, is unable to fly because its wings are just one-third as large as those required for flight. The reason why the bird doesn't have larger wings is that it doesn't require them because it has few terrestrial predators.

#12. Venezuelan Poodle Moth

unique animal
This large moth is covered with hair that makes it resemble a poodle. Unlike a poodle, however, it has wings and is attracted to your porch light, just like any other moth. The general consensus seems to be that this is the cutest moth ever, and we wholeheartedly agree.

#13. Honduran White Bat

unique animal
Fortunately, these vampire-like albino bats are vegetarians and don't want to hurt anyone. They have elf-like pointy ears that are yellowish and practically transparent, and their dazzling white appearance makes them easy to identify.
