The most unusual photos of animals according to The Telegraph. Strange and rare animals (61 photos) Very rare unusual footage of animals
Of course, it is difficult to take your eyes off the photo session of professional photo models, but unexpected pictures of the most ordinary animals are no less interesting. Of course, there are also professionals among the pets, but only the founders of the exhibition and the owners of animals can adequately appreciate them, but random photos are funny for everyone. So, photos of unusual animals and the fauna of planet Earth in general.
fish drop
Inhabitants of the seas and oceans
How many surprises awaited people at the bottom of the seas and oceans when scuba gear and bathyscaphes were invented.
fish drop
This fish can be found off the coast of Australia and Tasmania, but at such a great depth that its existence was only recently known. To withstand water pressure, the fish consists of a jelly-like mass, devoid of bones and muscles. This structure makes it lighter than water, as a result of which it does not require a swim bladder.
Caught fish drop The fish is not able to move independently, and feeds only on what swims directly in front of its mouth. Details about her lifestyle have not been explored.
Salpa
Off the coast of New Zealand, a fish, transparent as glass, was caught, but by touch it had both scales and solid.
Transparent fish Salpa Maggiore Surprisingly, the fish has transparent gills, a heart, and a filtering organ for isolating plankton from water passed through itself.
hairy monkfish
This monster lives at a depth of 1 km in pitch darkness where sunlight does not reach. It is extremely aggressive due to the small amount of food that it lures with a special luminous process on its forehead.
Angler It attacks everything that moves, whether the victim is many times larger and also a predator.
They differ in a single method of fertilization in nature - clinging to the female, which is 10 times larger than him, the male transfers all the necessary genes through the blood.
The father of the clown fish Nemo faced the monkfish in the famous cartoon.
smallmouth macropinna
The most unusual, bizarre, almost unearthly creature on the planet photographed by man is a fish with a transparent head.
Macropinna The first photograph of the creation was taken in 2004, despite the fact that it was opened in 1939. They could not study it, since the transparent dome of the head simply burst from the pressure drop, this is a deep-seated fish.
It's funny, but above the mouth is not the eyes at all, but the organ of smell. Her eyes are inside her head, in the photo they can be seen as two green hemispheres. The fish can look both forward and up.

Imperial tamarin
This little monkey, a resident of the Amazon, looks like a Chinese old sage.
Elder tamarin It is noteworthy that in the flock of these monkeys there is a strict hierarchy, which is headed only by the oldest female. Only males carry cubs on their backs, but, apparently, they all triple.
starship
Outwardly and in terms of lifestyle, this is the most common mole, but its stigma ends with 22 fleshy rays.
starship The second name of the animal is the starfish, but it is some kind of abusive. It serves as an organ for orientation when crawling in holes and catching prey.
Muskrat
Everyone has heard this word more than once, sometimes even in a common sense, but few people even have an idea what this word means.
muskrat And this is the most common animal of mammals no more than 22 cm tall. He lives with us, in Russia, in the basins of the Volga, Don and Ural rivers.
Tarsier
Outwardly, an ordinary small primate, if not for his huge eyes.
Tarsier The locals of Indonesia and the Philippines are even afraid of these animals, associating their appearance with evil spirits.

This unusual shot was taken as a bull was being chased by a crane, the largest of the flying birds. The photo was taken in Keoladeo National Park, Rajasthan, India, by photographer Jagdeep Rajput. The image resembles the mythical horse Pegasus, doesn't it?
A bear falls from a tree after being sedated. Firefighters and veterinarians from the city of Los Angeles easily managed to remove a bear weighing more than 45 kilograms from a tree on Stuerton Drive. The bear was immobilized with sleeping pills and fell onto an awning stretched under a tree, bypassing a previously prepared air mattress. The animal was not hurt, it will be taken to the mountains and released into the wild.

SCHELEZUB- a mammal from the order of insectivores, divided into two main species: the Cuban flint tooth and the Haitian. Relatively large, relative to other types of insectivores, the beast: its length is 32 centimeters, and the tail, on average, 25 cm, the weight of the animal is about 1 kilogram, the physique is dense.
MANED WOLF. Lives in South America. The long legs of the wolf are the result of evolution in matters of adaptation to the habitat, they help the animal overcome obstacles in the form of tall grass growing on the plains.
AFRICAN CIVETA- the only representative of the same genus. These animals live in Africa in open spaces with high grass from Senegal to Somalia, southern Namibia and eastern South Africa. The dimensions of the animal can visually increase quite strongly when the civet raises its hair when excited. And her fur is thick and long, especially on the back closer to the tail. The paws, muzzle and end of the tail are completely black, most of the body is spotty-striped.
MUSKRAT. The animal is quite famous, thanks to its sonorous name. It's just a good photo.
PROEKHIDNA. This miracle of nature usually weighs up to 10 kg, although larger specimens have also been noted. By the way, the length of the body of the prochidna reaches 77 cm, and this is not counting their cute five to seven centimeter tail. Any description of this animal is based on comparison with the echidna: the paws of the echidna are higher, the claws are more powerful. Another feature of the appearance of the prochidna is the spurs on the hind legs of males and the five-fingered hind limbs and the three-fingered forelimbs.
CAPIBARA. Semi-aquatic mammal, the largest of modern rodents. It is the only representative of the capybara family (Hydrochoeridae). There is a dwarf variety of Hydrochoerus isthmius, sometimes considered as a separate species (capybara).
SEA CUCUMBER. Holothuria. Sea-pods, sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea), a class of invertebrates of the echinoderm type. Species eaten are collectively called "trepang".
PANGOLIN. This post just couldn't do without it.
HELL VAMPIRE. Mollusk. Despite its obvious similarity with the octopus and squid, scientists have identified this mollusk in a separate order Vampyromorphida (Latin), because as soon as it has retractable sensitive bee-shaped filaments.
AARDVARK. In Africa, these mammals are called aardvark, which means "earth pig" in Russian. In fact, the aardvark in appearance very much resembles a pig, only with an elongated muzzle. The ears of this amazing animal are very similar in structure to those of a hare. There is also a muscular tail, which is very similar to the tail of such an animal as a kangaroo.
JAPANESE GIANT SALAMANDRA. To date, this is the largest amphibian that can reach 160 cm in length, weigh up to 180 kg and can live up to 150 years, although the officially registered maximum age of a giant salamander is 55 years.
BEARDED PIG. In different sources, the bearded pig species is divided into two or three subspecies. These are the curly-haired bearded pig (Sus barbatus oi), which lives on the Malay Peninsula and the island of Sumatra, the Bornean bearded pig (Sus barbatus barbatus) and the Palawan bearded pig, which, judging by the name, live on the islands of Borneo and Palawan, as well as in Java , Kalimantan and small islands of the Indonesian archipelago in Southeast Asia.
SUMATRAN RHINO. They belong to the equine-hoofed animals of the rhinoceros family. This species of rhinoceros is the smallest of the entire family. The body length of an adult Sumatran rhinoceros can reach 200 - 280 cm, and the height at the withers can vary from 100 to 150 cm. Such rhinos can weigh up to 1000 kg.
SULAWESI BEAR CUSCOUS. An arboreal marsupial living in the upper tier of lowland tropical forests. The coat of the bear couscous consists of a soft undercoat and coarse guard hairs. Color ranges from gray to brown, with a lighter belly and limbs, and varies by geographic subspecies and age of the animal. The prehensile, hairless tail is about half the length of the animal and acts as a fifth limb, which makes it easier to move through the dense rainforest. Bear couscous is the most primitive of all couscous, retaining primitive tooth growth and skull features.
GALAGO. Its large fluffy tail is clearly comparable to that of a squirrel. And the charming muzzle and graceful movements, flexibility and insinuation, clearly reflect his feline trait. The amazing jumping ability, mobility, strength and incredible agility of this animal clearly show its nature as a funny cat and elusive squirrel. Of course, it would be where to use their talents, because a cramped cage is very poorly suited for this. But, if you give this little animal a little freedom and sometimes allow him to walk around the apartment, then all his quirks and talents will come true. Many even compare it to a kangaroo.
WOMBAT. Without a photograph of a wombat, it is generally impossible to talk about strange and rare animals.
AMAZONIAN DOLPHIN. It is the largest river dolphin. Inia geoffrensis, as scientists call it, reaches 2.5 meters in length and weighs 2 centners. Light gray juveniles lighten with age. The body of the Amazonian dolphin is full, with a thin tail and a narrow muzzle. A round forehead, a slightly curved beak and small eyes are the features of this species of dolphins. There is an Amazonian dolphin in the rivers and lakes of Latin America.
FISH-MOON or MOLA-MOLA. This fish can be over three meters long and weigh about one and a half tons. The largest specimen of the moonfish was caught in New Hampshire, USA. Its length was five and a half meters, data on weight are not available. In shape, the body of the fish resembles a disk, it was this feature that gave rise to the Latin name. The moonfish has thicker skin. It is elastic, and its surface is covered with small bony protrusions. Fish larvae of this species and young individuals swim in the usual way. Adult large fish swim on their side, quietly moving their fins. They seem to lie on the surface of the water, where they are very easy to notice and catch. However, many experts believe that only sick fish swim in this way. As an argument, they cite the fact that the stomach of fish caught on the surface is usually empty.
TASMANIAN DEVIL. Being the largest of modern predatory marsupials, this animal is black in color with white spots on the chest and sacrum, with a huge mouth and sharp teeth, has a dense physique and a severe disposition, for which, in fact, it was called the devil. Emitting ominous cries at night, the massive and clumsy Tasmanian devil outwardly resembles a small bear: the front legs are slightly longer than the hind legs, the head is large, and the muzzle is blunted.
LORI. A characteristic feature of the loris is the large size of the eyes, which can be bordered by dark circles, there is a white dividing strip between the eyes. The muzzle of a lory can be compared to a clown mask. This most likely explains the name of the animal: Loeris means "clown" in translation.
GAVIAL. Of course, one of the representatives of the detachment of crocodiles. With age, the muzzle of the gharial becomes even narrower and longer. Due to the fact that the gharial feeds on fish, its teeth are long and sharp, located with a slight inclination for the convenience of eating.
OKAPI. FOREST GIRAFFE. Traveling through Central Africa, journalist and explorer of Africa Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904) more than once encountered local natives. Having once met an expedition equipped with horses, the natives of the Congo told the famous traveler that they had wild animals in the jungle, very similar to his horses. The Englishman, who had seen a lot, was somewhat puzzled by this fact. After some negotiations in 1900, the British were finally able to purchase parts of the skin of a mysterious beast from the local population and send them to the Royal Zoological Society in London, where they gave the unknown animal the name "Johnston's Horse" (Equus johnstoni), that is, they identified it as a member of the horse family. . But what was their surprise when, a year later, they managed to get a whole skin and two skulls of an unknown animal, and find that It looks more like a pygmy giraffe from the Ice Age. Only in 1909 was it possible to catch a live specimen of Okapi.
VALABY. WOOD KANGAROO. To the genus Tree kangaroos - wallabies (Dendrolagus) include 6 species. Of these, D. Inustus or bear wallaby, D. Matschiei or Matchish wallaby, which has a subspecies D. Goodfellowi (Goodfellow wallaby), D. Dorianus - Doria wallaby, live in New Guinea. In Australian Queensland, there are D. Lumholtzi - Lumholtz's wallaby (bungari), D. Bennettianus - Bennett's wallaby, or tharibina. Their original habitat was New Guinea, but now wallabies are also found in Australia. Tree kangaroos live in the tropical forests of mountainous regions, at an altitude of 450 to 3000m. above sea level. The body size of the animal is 52-81 cm, the tail is from 42 to 93 cm long. Wallabies weigh, depending on the species, from 7.7 to 10 kg males and from 6.7 to 8.9 kg. females.
WOLVERINE. Moves quickly and dexterously. The animal has an elongated muzzle, a large head, with rounded ears. The jaws are powerful, the teeth are sharp. Wolverine is a “big-legged” beast, the feet are disproportionate to the body, but their size allows them to move freely through the deep snow cover. Each paw has huge and curved claws. Wolverine climbs trees perfectly, has sharp eyesight. The voice is like a fox.
FOSS. On the island of Madagascar, such animals have been preserved that are not found not only in Africa itself, but throughout the rest of the world. One of the rarest animals is Fossa - the only representative of the genus Cryptoprocta and the largest predatory mammal that lives on the island of Madagascar. The appearance of the fossa is a bit unusual: it is a cross between a civet and a small cougar. Sometimes the fossa is also called the Madagascar lion, since the ancestors of this animal were much larger and reached the size of a lion. Fossa has a squat, massive and slightly elongated body, the length of which can reach up to 80 cm (on average it is 65-70 cm). The legs of the fossa are long, but thick enough, with the hind legs higher than the front ones. The tail is often equal to the length of the body and reaches 65 cm.
MANUL approves of this post and is only here because it should be. Everyone knows him.
FENEC. STEPPE FOX. He agrees with the manula and is present here in so far as. After all, everyone saw him.
THE NAKED DIGGER puts the manula and the fennec fox in karma and invites them to organize a club of the most feared animals in Runet.
PALM THIEF. A representative of the decapod crustaceans. whose habitat is Western part Pacific Ocean and tropical islands indian ocean. This animal from the family of land crayfish is quite large for its species. The body of an adult individual reaches a size of up to 32 cm and a weight of up to 3-4 kg. For a long time, it was erroneously believed that with its claws, it can even crack coconuts, which it then eats. To date, scientists have proven that cancer can only eat already split coconuts. They, being its main source of nutrition, gave the name palm thief. Although he is not averse to eating other types of food - the fruits of Pandanus plants, organic matter from the soil, and even their own kind.
The name of this fish in Latin sounds too boring, because it is easier to call it FISH WITH TRANSPARENT HEAD. She has a transparent head through which she can see with her tubular eyes. The head through which the fish watches prey helps protect the eyes. First opened in 1939. It lives at a much greater depth, so it has not been fully studied. In particular, the principle of fish vision was not entirely clear. It was believed that she must experience very great difficulties in view of the fact that she can only look up. Only in 2009 was the structure of the eye of this fish fully studied. Apparently, when trying to study it earlier, the fish simply could not stand the change in pressure.
ECHIDNA. well, that's all.
RED PANDA. Today, the red panda in its natural habitat can only be found in the mountain bamboo forests of the Chinese provinces of Yunnan and Sichuan, in northern Burma, in Bhutan, Nepal and in northeast India.
SIFACA. Monkey of the indriev family. A relatively new genus of primates, discovered only in 2004. Silky sifakas live in the eastern part of the island of Madagascar. The range is approximately 2.2 thousand square meters. km. The distribution area is limited in the north of the skeleton by the Marojejy Massif region, and in the south it reaches Anjanahari. Adult individuals have a body length with a head from 45 to 55 cm, a tail 45-51 cm long. Weight 5-6.5 kg.
SLOTH. A very interesting species of mammals, which has a number of distinctive features that make it unlike any other. existing view. It lives mainly in Central and South America.
PLATYPUS. Basically, known to everyone. But this photo deserves attention...
ANT-EATER. It won't surprise anyone either. But the frame is great...
TARSIER. A small mammal from the order of primates, whose very specific appearance created a somewhat ominous halo around this small animal weighing up to one hundred and sixty grams. So, the indigenous population of Indonesia and the Philippine Islands associated the ridiculous appearance of the tarsier with the tricks of evil spirits. However, many of our contemporaries, who first see the tarsier in its native habitat, remain amazed at its non-standard appearance.
MARGAY. From the "relatives" of these wild cats are distinguished by the size and proportions of the body, as well as the way of life. So, for example, the margay is very similar to its closest relative, the ocelot, which, moreover, is quite often found in the same place where the margay lives. It is not difficult to distinguish between these cats - the ocelot is noticeably larger, because it prefers to hunt on the ground, and the margay has longer legs and tail, due to life mainly in trees.
SLUD JUMPER. It is found in intertidal areas and in areas such as tropical swamps, which form in places where mangroves grow. Especially mudskippers like to settle in places where fresh water meets sea water. And although from a scientific point of view they are fish, many perceive them as amphibians. Well, in a sense, it is.
HERBIVORE DRACULA. Bats ("Sphaeronycteris toxophyllum" lat.) This species lives in the north of South America (Amazon basin and mountains). These bats, oddly enough, are herbivores.
BELTTAIL. The habitat of belttails extends to the rocky regions of Africa, which have an arid climate, mainly on the south side of the Sahara desert. In addition, belttails live in a certain amount on the island of Madagascar. There are more than forty species of belttails in the world. The sizes of the belttails are quite different and range from 12 to 70 centimeters in length. The entire body of the girdletail is covered with rectangular plates - scales that cover the bone base of the reptile.
I think it's modest.
PURPLE FROG. Some animals have managed to adapt to these, at first glance, very difficult conditions and have even learned to benefit from the change of seasons. Here is the indigenous inhabitant of India, the purple frog (Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis), which as a species was discovered quite recently - in 2003, uses the monsoon time to good use - to continue its kind.
ISOPOD. Giant woodlice isopods, about 30 cm long, live at sea depths of about 1.6 km.
SUNNY BEAR. The Malayan biruang bear, or, as it is also called due to its characteristic color, the sun or honey bear, lives in India, Myanmar, as well as on the islands of Borneo, Java and Sumatra. It is of great interest to both zoologists and amateurs. wildlife, since this species belongs to the smallest, most aggressive and smallest representatives of the entire bear family. By the way, it was precisely the threatening small number of this genus that caused the Biruangs to be included in the Red Book.
An adult sun bear has a very difficult character. However, quite a lot of interest in his person is caused not at all by his place of residence, and not by his character, but by his amazing appearance, which immediately catches the eye from any photo.
TIBETAN FOX. Found in Tibet in northwestern India and northern Nepal at high altitudes.
JELLYFISH. Just a giant jellyfish.
GOLDEN TIGER. That is what tigers with a similar color are called. The reason for the unusual color is that one of the genes did not work. Count like an albino...
AY-AY. ARMY. The Madagascar arm or ah-ah, a mammal of the semi-monkey suborder; the only representative of the family of rukonoki. Body length 40 cm, tail 60 cm. The head is large, the muzzle is short; ears are large, leathery. The tail is fluffy. Fur color is dark brown to black.
GUIDAK. A large gastropod mollusk weighing up to one and a half kilograms. Found off the west coast of the United States. From under the thin fragile shell of the guidac (about 20 cm long) a “leg” protrudes, which is three times larger than the shell. The English name for this mollusk (geoduck, gweduck) appeared in late XIX century, is derived from the name of these mollusks in the language of the Nisqual Indians (which is why it is pronounced "guidac") and means "digging deep" - these mollusks really dig quite deep into the sand.
MASSAGED WOLF. It is an extinct marsupial mammal and the only representative of the thylacine family. This animal is also known under the name "marsupial tiger" and "Tasmanian wolf". At the beginning of the Holocene and the end of the Pleistocene, the marsupial wolf was found on the Australian mainland and the island of New Guinea. About 3,000 years ago, aboriginal settlers brought the wild dog dingo to the island, as a result of which the marsupial wolf disappeared from the area. In the XVIII-XIX centuries. Tasmania was considered the main habitat of the marsupial wolf, but in the thirties years XIX century, the mass extermination of an animal began, which was mistakenly considered the destroyer of domestic sheep. In addition, the thylacine was credited with hunting poultry and exterminating game caught in traps. Most of these legends turned out to be false.
STAR CARRIER. An insectivorous mammal of the mole family. Outwardly, the star-nosed star-nosed differs from other members of the family and from other small animals only in its characteristic structure of the stigma in the form of a rosette or a star of 22 soft, fleshy, mobile bare rays. In size, spade-shaped forelimbs, thick velvety fur (black or dark brown) it is similar to the European mole.
