14. Okapia: This comes from the family Giraffidae, a group that only contains giraffes and this animal.
13. Purple Frog: This frog is so unique that it comes from its own genus and species.
12. Blue Parrotfish: This happy looking guy needs teeth so he can grind rocks into sand. Yummy.
11. Bush viper: It looks like a dragon.
10. Giant Isopod: Imagine this thing walking around and you had to kill it? A shoe wouldn't work. It grows up to 14 inches!
9. Venezuelan Poodle Moth
8. Mantis Shrimp: Hands down the coolest animal on earth. It moves so quickly that the water around it boils (this is called supercavitation).
7. Lowland Streaked Tenrec: It's like four animals in one.
6. Umbonia Spinosa: This isn't a banana but an insect.
5. Galapagos Batfish: This fish is incredibly strange, not only because of its bright-red lips, but also because it's highly adapted to walk on the floor, making it an incredibly poor swimmer despite its dorsal and tail fin.
4. Goblin Shark: Often referred to as a "living fossil," this beast grows 10-13 feet in length and comes from a lineage that's 125 million years old!
3. Atretochoana: This animal is a caecilian, which is a class of amphibians that resemble worms or snakes.
2. Hummingbird Hawk-Moth: This strange little creature is actually an insect!
1. Pacu Fish: It has HUMAN TEETH! Ok, it's not really human teeth but similar. They're actually related to piranhas.
