Strange Animals........

Leaf Muntjac (Leaf Deer)




The Wildlife Conservation Society, based at the Bronx Zoo, says the animal is the world's smallest deer species. It is found in dense forest habitats at an elevation of 1500 - 2000 feet, where it s solitary and eats mostly fruit


Chacoan Peccary




When frightened, Chacoan peccaries flee, raising the long hairs on their back and spraying secretions from their dorsal gland, presumably to keep the group together in the dense brush via odor. These secretions are rubbed against group members


BILBY




These cute little animals are an endangered species. Bilby's don't drink water, they get enough from the food they eat. They sleep during the day in deep burrows and forage at night and are found mostly throughout the arid, dry areas of Australia.


Tasmanian Wolf (Thylacine)




The Tasmanian Wolf was not a wolf nor a tiger. It was a marsupial, related to kangaroos.



Fossa




a meat-eating mammal that lives in rainforests and wooded savannas on the island of Madagascar. It is the largest native predator on Madagascar. The fossa is related to the mongoose. Fossas are fast runners and are also very good at climbing trees


Turken




This breed of chicken never grows feathers on it's neck or breast. What's even more strange, its not a cross between a chicken and a turke


Babirusa


A wild pig in the Asian Island region with one set of tusks grow up along the snout, the others grow through the top of the muzzle and curves back toward the forehead


Glow In The Dark Rabbit



With help from French genetic researchers and genes borrowed from a jellyfish, this rabbit glows green when placed under special black lighting


Headless Chicken (Lived Headless for 18 months)



After having its head removed, it continued trying to peck for food. In the end, it lived headless for 18 months
