The world is a very strange place, but what’s even stranger is the creatures that inhabit it, and yes, that
includes humans which are, probably, the strangest earth creature of all. But we’re not here to talk
about your weird next door neighbor. Today, we will take a look at 10 of the strangest animals that are
truly hard to believe are real. Make sure you stay tuned for number one, I’m pretty sure it will remind
you of someone you know that had a little bit too much of the bubbly.

Number 10. Cantor’s Giant Softshell Turtle
No, you aren’t looking at an overgrown tick, what you are looking at is actually, believe it or not, a turtle.
Cantor’s giant softshell is an exceptionally large freshwater turtle, with individuals known to reach over
1 meter in length and weigh more than 100 kilograms. Sadly, these extraordinary turtles are on the brink
of extinction.
This strange-looking turtle is also referred to as the ‘frog-faced softshell’ due to its odd facial features.
These turtles have an extremely large distribution, from Bangladesh to the Philippines and Borneo, and
it is possible that it actually comprises more than a single species. Primarily a freshwater turtle but,
unusually for most freshwater species, is also found in brackish coastal waters.
Cantor’s giant softshell is under threat from harvesting by local people for meat, accidental killing and
persecution from fishermen when caught in fishing gear, and the destruction of its freshwater and
coastal habitats.

Number 9. Acmella nana
In the rainforests of Borneo, the smallest land snail known to science ekes out a secret existence in
limestone cracks. At least, that’s where researchers think they live. Scientists have only ever found their
shells, translucent granules 0.60 to 0.79 mm high scattered at the base of cliffs. The team behind the
discovery has named the minute gastropod Acmella nana, and described it in an article published online
in ZooKeys.
Unlike insects, snails don’t specialize on particular food sources. Instead, they separate into different
species based on the chemical and physical properties of their habitats. Thanks to its tiny size, A. nana
can probably fit into crevices other snails can’t reach, vacuuming up bacteria and fungi that grow on wet
limestone.
It now holds the title of World’s Smallest Snail, beating the previous record holder, Angustopila
dominikae from the Chinese province of Guangxi, discovered earlier this year, measured just 0.80 and
0.89 mm respectively.

Number 8. Pink See-Through Fantasia
The Enypniastes eximia, also dubbed the "Pink See-Through Fantasia," was a previously unknown
member of the swimming sea cucumber species up until recent discovery. The creature was discovered

in 2007 by a team of marine biologists about 2,500 meters deep in the Celebes Sea in the western Pacific
Ocean.
scientists and photographers came across the creature while on an expedition to explore biodiveristy in
the Celebes Sea, supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Clearly an animal that doesn’t know the concept of too much information, the pink creature earned its
name for its transparent skin that clearly displays a show-stealing arrangement with its intestines,
mouth and anus entirely visible from its outside.
The sea cucumber, like other bioluminescent animals, is able to emit light. It uses this effect as an alarm
to expose its self and potential predators in times of an attack. There still remains much more for
experts to learn about the creature to date.

Number 7. The Squidworm
The squidworm looks like a fusion animal, half-squid and half-worm. In fact, it’s all worm, a member of
the group that includes familiar earthworms and leeches. It just happens to have ten long tentacles on
its head.
The tentacles are elastic and extendable, and they can be longer than the squidworm’s ten-centimeter
body. Two of them – the yellower ones – are used for feeding. The other eight are used to breathe, or
possibly to feel its way around. Its head also carries two feathery, brush-like structures called ‘nuchal
organs’ that act like a nose, picking up chemical smells in the water.
It’s formal name – Teuthidodrilus samae – means squidworm of the Sama
