Top 10: Unusual animals from around the world
     1. Aye-aye
    The aye-aye, a species of primate living in Madagascar, has many points in common with the woodpecker. He uses his teeth, similar to those of rodents, and his middle finger to dig holes and extract insects.
    2. Blobfish

    This gritty, jelly-like creature lives on the seafloor, where its sticky flesh allows it to float. Blobfish feed primarily on edible particles that float in front of them, such as crustaceans.
    3. Octopus Dumbo

    Of all the octopods, the Grimpoteuthis, or Octopus Dumbo, is the one that lives the deepest in the seabed. It takes its name from its wing-like fins that recall the character of Disney Dumbo, the flying elephant.
    4. Loris
    The loris, a small nocturnal primate that can be seen in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia or South Asia, is a solitary picker. Its scattered population is threatened by the disappearance of its natural habitat.
    5. Tarsier
    The eyes of the tarsier, who are as tall as his brain, are just 16 millimeters in diameter. While it has already inhabited North America, Europe, and Asia, its population is now reduced to the forests of South Asia.
    6. Komondor

    The komondor, a Hungarian sheepdog, is a descendant of the Damsels of Tibet. Puppies are born with a soft, wavy coat, but their characteristic shaggy coat develops with age. The "dreadlocks" of his skin help the dog mingle with the flock and protect it from extreme temperatures and predators.
    7. saiga
    The saiga is an endangered antelope that is found only in Kazakhstan and Mongolia. Its strange muzzle filters dust in the air and help keep it comfortable during the hot summer months. In the winter, it warms the icy air before it reaches the lungs.
    8. Hagfish
    The hagfish, whose shape is reminiscent of an eel, is a living fossil. Its structure and lifestyle remain unchanged for 300 million years. She devours her dead or injured prey by entering their bodies and can survive months without food thanks to her slow metabolism.
    9. Proboscis Monkey
    The nasal, a species endemic to the jungles of Borneo, is one of the most abundant monkeys in Asia. The male uses his nasal appendage to attract females. Its webbed legs make it an excellent swimmer.
    10. Viperfish
    In keeping with its appearance, the viperfish is a voracious predator that uses a bioluminescent bait to deceive its prey, usually a lobster or a small fish. It can live 20 to 40 years, but can not survive in captivity.
