00:00 Intro
00:21 Number 10. Red-Lipped Batfish.
Also known as the weird-looking fish, the red-lipped batfish lives in the marine life of the Galapagos Islands.
These fish are said to possess some similar features of a bat, so they are named batfish.
Although these species’ body color varies from light brown to grey, they can be easily identified with their distinctive red lips. A remarkable fact about red-lipped batfish is that they walk on ocean floors, as they are not good swimmers.
00:53 Number 9. Sugar Gliders.
The sugar glider is a small, nocturnal possum that glides using skin between its and legs as ‘wings’, much like a flying squirrel. These omnivores belonging to the marsupial infraclass get their common name from their taste for sugary foods; such as sap and nectar.
01:16 Number 8. Pink Fairy Armadillo.
The pink fairy armadillo is the smallest species of armadillo. It is the only armadillo who has a dorsal shell that is entirely separate from its body. The species is known for some of its unique features, such as; the pink fairy armadillo pumps blood using its shell to regulate its body temperature. They are also known as sand swimmers, because of their quick ability to navigate underground.
01:45 Number 7. Glass Frogs.
Glass frog species belong to the family of Centrolenidae; these frogs are also known by the name “see-through” because of their translucent skin. There are 60 different species of glass frogs seen in Southern Mexico, Central, and South America. The preferred habitat of these species is the tropical rainforest, mainly in treetops.
These frogs’ bodies are generally bright green or olive green in color, and their belly is covered with translucent skin.
02:21 Number 6. Sea Pen.
A sea pen is a graceful creature of the seafloor, the beast named after an old-fashioned quill pen. Their colours range from dark orange, yellow and white. Commonly sea pens can grow to a height of 40 cm. The interesting fact about these sea creatures is that each sea pen is a colony of polyps that works together to survive the whole.
02:48 Number 5. Leafy Sea-dragon.
The leafy sea-dragon or weedy sea-dragon is a close relative of seahorse; they are some of the most ornately camouflaged creatures. The lobes of their skin provide them camouflage, which gives the appearance of seaweed. The leafy sea-dragons can maintain a similar illusion while swimming. You can find this eye-catching creature along the southern and western coast of Australia.
03:16 Number 4. Lowland Streaked Tenrec.
Found in Madagascar, Africa, this small tenrec is the only mammal known to use stridulation for generating sound – something that’s usually associated with snakes and insects.
