00:20It has rodent-like teeth that grow perpetually,
00:23and a special middle finger that is long, thin and skeletal in appearance.
00:28A great start to the weird list. Axolotl.
00:33The axolotl, or Mexican walking fish.
00:36As it's more commonly known, isn't actually a fish, it's an amphibian.
00:40The branches which extend from the side of its head are actually its gills.
00:45Bald wakari.
00:47Bald wakari, pronounced wakari, is a small monkey found in the Amazon basin
00:53with a long, ginger-shaggy coat and a hairless head and face, which is coloured bright red.
00:59Barbarusa barbarusas have a distinct prehistoric appearance with long canine tusks

01:07Baralei fish.
01:09The baralei is a small deep-sea fish with a dome-shaped transparent head that contains glowing green eyes.
01:15Through the transparent dome, you can see their eyes, brain and nerves.
01:20Bat-eared fox.
01:22The bat-eared fox is a cute little fox species, with huge dish-like ears that lives on the plains of eastern and southern Africa,
01:29eating termites and fooling around.
01:31Blobfish.

01:38However, this popular impression is a myth.
01:41They actually look like any other fish in their usual environment.
