00:00 Forever Green presents 5 Most Beautiful Rare Animals You Won't Believe Exist
00:08 1.
00:12 The Panda Ant Panda ants are not necessarily ants but wasps
00:17 in the family of velvet ants.
00:20 These insects own their name for their black and white color.
00:24 These insects were first discovered in the coastal region of central Chile in the year
00:28 1938.
00:30 After that, very few scientists gave it attention until recently when some few studies of it
00:35 were done.
00:36 The females are often wingless, huge and have many furs on its body.
00:41 These insects have a lovely appearance but have one nasty sting that could get viciously
00:47 painful on your skin.
00:50 This is why they are also called cow killer since they are capable of knocking out a cow
00:55 or other animals that are much larger than they are.
00:59 They also have a tough exoskeleton that helps them while invading their prey's nests and
01:05 also in retaining moisture and since they mostly occupy dry areas.

01:14 The Blue Parrotfish The blue parrotfish is an almost completely
01:19 bright blue species of parrotfish.
01:22 They are the only uniformly blue species of fish currently known.
01:26 The name parrotfish refers to the beak-like jaws and fused teeth of the species in the
01:31 genus.
01:32 These teeth are used to scrap algae off of rocks and corals.
01:36 Strangely, they also possess what are known as pharyngeal teeth which are essentially
01:41 just teeth in the throat.
01:44 Parrotfishes use these teeth to grind rocks that they ingest into sand, which is then
01:49 eliminated creating new sand.
01:52 This actually leads to the formation of small islands and sandy beaches in the Caribbean.
01:57 Individual parrotfishes can produce as much as 200 pounds of sand per year.

02:07 Bush Viper This is a venomous snake commonly found in
02:11 Africa, Congo, Uganda and Kenya.
02:14 Its prominent feature is its rough scales on the back.
02:18 Unlike other few species, it does not make a hissing sound by grasping the scales of
02:22 its tail.
02:23 It might be found in varied colors like red, yellow, green, orange and combination of these
02:29 colors.
02:30 This species may change its colors in its lifespan.
02:34 It is a nocturnally active snake otherwise normally it is an inactive snake.
02:40 Like other vipers, it has a feature of making a surprise attack and can wait at the same
02:45 place for quite a long time till its prey comes to its territory.
02:50 Once the prey is in range, it strikes very fast and accurately.
02:54 It is observed that it hangs itself on the trees while preying.

03:04 Superb Bird of Paradise If seen only by one picture, it looks like
03:09 some kind of plant or some other thing but this is the reason why we say it the superb
03:14 bird of paradise.
03:15 If we put a male and a female bird of paradise side by side, it's always the bright, glittering,
03:22 fluttering, posing male that grabs our attention.
03:26 But the females are just as important in determining what birds of paradise looks like.
03:33 Male superb birds of paradise carry a two-pronged, iridescent blue shield on their breasts.
03:39 They have small territories which they defend from other males.
03:43 In this territory, they might have one or two preferred spots, such as a particular
03:48 tree branch, from where they call and display to visiting females.
03:54 Females only accept a male bird of paradise if he is most attractive and beautiful than
03:59 all the others.

04:05 Diphosa Diphosa is the largest carnivorous mammal
04:09 on the island of Madagascar.
04:11 They can reach nearly 6 feet in length with half of that due to their long tails.
04:16 They look like a cross between a cat, a dog, and a mangoose.
04:20 Diphosa have slender bodies, muscular limbs, and short, reddish-brown coats.
04:26 They have small, cat-like heads, short, dog-like muzzles, and large, rounded ears.
04:32 Their scientific name means "hidden anus."
04:35 The Diphosa's genus name, Cryptoprocta, is inspired by how its anus is concealed by an
04:42 animal pouch.
04:43 It comes from the Greek for "hidden crypto" and "anus procta."
04:49 Phosas are the top predator in Madagascar.
04:52 Phosas communicate largely through scent glands.
04:55 Female phosas are temporarily masculine.
04:58 The female phosa undergoes a strange developmental stage during adolescence known as transient
05:04 masculinization, unique to phosas.
05:07 She develops an enlarged, spiky clitoris that resembles the male's penis and secretes an
05:14 orange substance on her underbelly, which is usually only seen in mature males.
