In the past we presented some animals thought to have only existed in myths and legends of past ages, or in our scariest nightmares. Continuing in our quest to discover the out-worldly and strange that inhabit the animal kingdom, we give a list of some animals you might never have heard of.

1. The Penis Snake

The penis snake is a real thing that exists on your planet. They are harmless, a bit cute, and sexy.
2. The Thorny Dragon

The probability of finding and seeing one of these in your life is very low. But if you ever see one, steer clear of it!
3. The red-lipped batfish

Among this creature’s talents are its ability to swim and look very sexy…
4. The Pacu Fish

Don’t confuse fish with the skull. The white one is the fish and the thing in black is the skull.
5. The Panda Ant

Looks like a tiny panda, doesn’t it?
Now you don’t have to go all the way to China to see a real panda. The funny thing is that this remarkable insect is actually not an ant but a wingless WASP.

This creature is not as cute as the real hummingbird but who cares. It is still a hummingbird and it hums.
