#12 No Werewolf Found
We all have heard of werewolves. In the ancient legends of Europe and now movies the full moon transforms the human in to a hungry wolf. But have you ever heard of a weretiger? Not as well known outside of Asia. The weretiger is a mythical hybrid between a tiger and a human that prowls Asian jungles looking for prey during the full moon as well… Tigers, definitely one of the most majestic animals in the Asian animal kingdom!

#11 The Flying Frog
#10 The Blood Thirsty Leech
#9 Blind As A… Dolphin?
Most of us who have gone to the aquarium or had the pleasure of seeing a dolphin in the wild know that they have eyes and can see. But not all dolphins are born with eyesight. In the Indus and Ganges rivers of South Asia a specie of dolphin is born blind and in order to navigate and hunt for food. They use echolocation!! Another cool characteristic is that they swim on only one side of their body so their flippers are touching the muddy bottom to steer the prey out of hiding. What a clever adaptation to the murky waters.
