We might think that we’ve seen the world through, but there were still eye pooping wonders out there. New animal species are discovered every day, so there will be always some new surprises for us.

By the way, some of these strange animals might look cool or cute for some pet lovers, but they are actually endangered species. For instance, The Cute Mexican Walking Fish, Axolotl salamander is seriously threatened with extinction because of habitat destruction and water pollution. Please do not purchase these endangered creatures by any chance.
