40 AMAZING CREATURES YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE




Nature is indeed beautiful, awesome and aesthetic ranging from landscapes, animals, plants among others. It reveals the marvelous abilities of the Great Creator (God). Although we are familiar with a lot of products of Mother Nature, some of its creatures and materials, we haven’t really seen ‘a lot’ in the real sense. There’s more to just popular animals like dogs, lions, cats, goats and so on.




I marvel at the sight of some creatures I term ‘very amazing’. I’ll be showing you some of them to you in this article as you read on. Most of these animals are not found in the zoo. Some of them appear beautiful while others are rather scary and bizarre-looking that you may not wish to come across. There are a lot more creatures yet to be discovered, seen or even named.
Scientists are ever busy trying to discover new animal species. The list is ever increasing! For the main time, let’s get to know meet these uncommon creatures.

HERE ARE ANIMALS YOU NEVER KNOW EXIST: 

 


  1.    THE PANDA ANT



This creature is mostly found in Chile. As the name implies, they have resemblance with Chinese giant pandas due to their hair coloration of black and white. They are also called cow killer or cow ant because of their stings that are extremely painful.

2.      FLAMINGO TONGUE SNAIL


Scientifically known as ‘Cyphoma gibbosum’ is a much different type of snail from the one we know and see around sometimes. This one is much more colorful and attractive. Do you know that it actually has a transparent shell as well? Now you do. You might be wondering where its body is, the yellow coloration is the snail’s body.

3.       CHRISTMAS TREE WORMS



These aquatic animals are sea worms, usually found in seas and oceans. It’s scientific name is ‘Spirobranchus giganteus’. Looking at the picture above, it’s obvious that they look like Christmas trees and thus earned their name ‘Christmas tree worms’. How do they feed? They make use of their “tree branch spindles” protrusions. These spindles do not only perform the function of feeding but also breathing and protection (by withdrawal).

4.       PROMACHOTEUTHIS SULCUS


‘Promachoteuthis sulcus’ is the scientific name of this organism. It was discovered in Southern Atlantic Ocean at a depth of 2,000m ten years ago. Only one specimen of this organism has been found making it a very rare animal! This bizarre marine creature is also known as ‘squid with teeth’. As the name implies, it is a squid with teeth looking like that of humans. Seeing this in your nightmare may get you scared. They are pretty unnerving and just flaps of skin.

5.       BALUCHISTAN PYGMY JERBOA


Baluchistan pygymy jerboa is only found in Pakistan. If you want to see this live, you’ll have to travel there. The picture however gives us a glimpse of what it looks like. It is a three-toed rodent. Guess what? It is not just a rodent but the joint smallest rodent in the world alongside African pygmy mouse.

I CAN DRESS MODESTLY AND STILL LOOK BEAUTIFUL

Image
Indecent dressing is fast becoming an epidemic especially among young persons (especially among females). The rate of increase in immodesty is alarming as many have now thrown to the gutters the initial purpose of wearing clothes which is to cover their nakedness. Another reason why people may decide to wear clothes is to appear 'presentable' and most importantly 'beautiful' but even this has been abused by some. I strongly believe that is not out of place in the 21st century to have young ladies who dress modestly and still look beautiful! I have seen a number of them and this remains one of the reason they have gained my respect. It is the same for every other responsible guy out there. This is what some females fail to know. It is to that effect I've decided to join this movement #You can dress modestly & still look beautiful. I totally agree with what Doug Herman,  the author of the book 'Come clean' said in his book. ...

PAUSE AND THINK (Vol.2): BEFORE SAYING THOSE WORDS!

Image
I’m sure you were able to pick one or two things from the previous volume, ‘pause and think before pointing that finger’. This volume promises not to be an exception as we’ll be looking at something very critical. Critical because we are all involved and connected with this subject. We use it every day of our lives! I’ll like to also include that the writer of this article is also not exempted from the ‘blames’, messages and lessons that can be drawn from the article. We’ll be talking about PAUSE & THINK BEFORE SAYING THOSE WORDS’   WORDS! WORDS!! WORDS!!! Human beings are very sensitive to words especially on the receiving end. Interestingly, we fall to both the giving and receiving end, although at specific moments. This article majorly addresses ‘the givers’.   Words have the power of influence both on the positive and negative side. The subject of ‘words’ must not be taken for granted. Words are instruments. Words relay feelings, emotions, moments,...

FRIENDSHIP SCANDALS (Volume 1)

Image
FRIENDSHIP SCANDALS. Why Friendship scandals? It doesn't sound cool, does it?  Nope, it doesn't. Here, we'll not only be concerned with personal life experiences of people with regards to friendship matters but the lessons we can learn from these experiences to be better friends and develop better friendship qualities much more. Don't get me wrong. Friends are cool to keep when are good. Be one! It promises to be lessons packed. It would entertain several parts that cuts across betrayal, jealousy, pride, lies, selfishness, malice, distrust, pretence and many more.  I GOT TIRED OF HER LIES! After my experience with Cecilia, I was thrown into confusion on which gender had more 'professional liars'. Within a short period of time I had gulped over a litre of lies. But why? Was she trying to impress me, paint a different picture of herself or what? I admired people for being real, truthful and unique. All these things were present i...
