00:00 The 10 weirdest animals in the world
00:02 The Nazi monkey is a very rare species of monkey that is found only in Asia in the
00:18 most remote forests of the island of Borneo.
00:21 It is a peaceful and quiet animal that loves to live in groups.
00:25 You guessed it, its main feature is its big soft nose that hangs in front of its face.
00:30 But don't think it's a flaw, quite the opposite.
00:33 Among the Nazi monkeys, the leader of the tribe is often the one with the biggest and
00:37 flattest nose.
00:39 Make a eye, a leg or even part of the brain grow back, admit that it's pretty practical.
00:48 The Axolotls is a small Mexican amphibian that fascinates biologists because of its
00:52 incredible ability to regenerate.
00:54 And as if that wasn't enough, this little creature that can reach 30 cm can also live,
00:59 reproduce and die while still in the larvae state.
01:03 Scientists from all over the world study this small animal in captivity very closely
01:07 in the hope of one day finding in its genes something to revolutionize surgery.
01:11 Here is a perfectly normal panda as there are more than a thousand in China.
01:20 Oh, I think we got fooled, it looks more like a malicious ant that would have had the
01:24 brilliant idea of dressing up as a panda.
01:26 The Mutilidae is a family of more than 3000 species of geckos whose females look like
01:31 big hairy ants.
01:32 The specimen in black and white is known as the panda ant.
01:35 You can find the Koshili panda ant where it is nicknamed the cow killer because of
01:40 its extremely painful bite.
01:47 With its big nose and its mouth that always seems to smile, the Dugong is a marine mammal
01:52 with a nice physique but with very modest notoriety.
01:55 It is with its cousin the Lamontain, the Serene Eagle, which would be the origin of the
02:00 legend of the mermaids.
02:01 It is a very fearful animal and which mainly frequents the coasts of the Indo-Pacific
02:06 through the Red Sea and Australia.
02:08 On many points, the Dugongs are touching and very affectionate animals.
02:12 Aggressiveness is practically non-existent in these animals.
02:17 Even males interested in the same female have never been seen fighting.
02:21 It is an animal that lives a long time and has a very low rate of reproduction, which
02:25 makes this species extremely sensitive to overexploitation.
02:28 Moreover, there would currently be less than 80,000 in the world.
02:36 Here is a Glocus atlanticus, according to its scientific name.
02:40 A very, very rare and very difficult gastropod to notice that it does not measure more than
02:44 6 cm at the maximum.
02:46 This mollusk, the image of the seas, may seem cute, but be careful if you come across one.
02:51 These bites are very, very painful.
02:54 Indeed, it has a powerful venom that it does not produce itself, but that it recovers
02:59 the organisms it feeds on.
03:01 Fortunately, the cases of bites on humans are relatively rare.
03:05 This animal evolves in tropical waters and is tempered by all the great oceans, but
03:09 it is very rarely seen.
03:11 This strange animal is not a pig crossed with a lima.
03:20 It is a sea cucumber that lives at the bottom of the oceans and feeds on organic particles
03:24 harvested from the seabed.
03:26 The most fascinating among sea pigs is their legs, even one on their head.
03:30 Unfortunately, all these legs do not even help them walk if they accidentally stumble
03:34 on them, but rather to find food in the total darkness of the oceans.
03:38 For the rest, the behavior of this animal is still relatively little known, but scientists
03:42 promise to know more about it soon.
03:44 A frugivore bat nicknamed Yoda because it looked surprisingly like the characters
03:52 of Star Wars is one of the strangest species recently discovered.
03:56 Spotted during a scientific expedition in Papua New Guinea in 2009, this bat
04:01 has a very special nose that allows it to feed on fruit.
04:05 Frugivore bats generally play an essential role in forest ecosystems,
04:10 since they participate in the dispersion of the seeds of the fruits they eat,
04:13 some only growing after having passed through their stomach.
04:16 The star-nosed condylurus is a small American mole that lives in eastern Canada
04:25 and the far northeast of the United States.
04:27 It bears the name of its very characteristic muzzle, which is the shape of a 22-tentacled
04:31 menial disc.
04:33 This mole is also the fastest predator in the world, it can recognize and devour
04:37 a prey in 120 milliseconds only.
04:39 So it is impossible that worms, small crustaceans and molluscs can resist it for a long time.
04:44 Do you know the Ai-Ai?
04:50 This small animal, native to Madagascar, has bat ears, owl eyes,
04:55 a sculled tail and spiky teeth.
04:57 It is a nocturnal animal that sleeps all day, it only goes out in the evening to go
05:01 in search of food and its nest is so developed that it only has to tap on the tree trunks
05:06 to find out if insects are hiding there.
05:08 But here, this cute little lemur has long been very hunted because of beliefs and superstitions
05:14 that said it was unlucky and today the Ai-Ai is severely threatened to disappear.
05:24 The blob fish may not be the most beautiful fish in the ocean, but it is one of the most
05:28 difficult to forget.
05:29 Its big soft nose and its pounding mouth are probably for something.
05:33 The blob fish lives in the abyssal depths of the southern coasts of Australia and Tasmania.
05:38 It evolves at depths where the pressure is nearly 100 times higher than that of the surface.
05:43 To resist it, its flesh is mainly made up of a gelatinous mass whose density is
05:48 lower than that of water, which allows it to float without having to spend too much energy.
05:53 Relatively little known, it was however elected the most ugly animal in the world in September
05:58 2013 by a British Animal Protection Association.
06:01 That's it for the 10 weirdest animals in the world.
