20 przypadków, kiedy natura stworzyła niesamowite zwierzęta!

Niektóre zwierzęta wyglądają pięknie, inne są naprawdę urocze, a niektóre są tak urzekające, że nie możemy oderwać od nich oczu. Ale jest też jeszcze jeden rodzaj zwierząt – ten, który swoim wyglądem wyróżnia się na tle innych.

Tylko natura może stworzyć coś tak niezwykłego.

Grant’s golden mole (Eremitalpa granti) . While searching for some herpetofauna in the sand dunes of the Namib desert, I was lucky enough to have an encounter with this little guy. ——————————————————— All 21 species of golden mole are endemic to small parts of Southwestern Africa. Although similar in morphology to true moles and other mole-like families, golden moles are taxonomically distinct and adaptations such as digging claws or dense fur to repel sand are the result of convergent evolution due to the similar demands of a subterranean lifestyle. . Looking at the head, it almost seems like they don’t posses any eyes and why would they, spending the majority of their lives underground? However, eyes are present on the head but covered with fur and thus making them non-functional. . With a maximum length of 9 cm and weight of 25 g the Grant’s golden mole is the smallest of all golden mole species and is also the sole member of its genus. . In contrast to the other species of the family, Grant’s golden moles rarely build tunnels and rather “swim” through the sand. This method of moving around has earned them the rather comical title of “sand shark”. . Specialised in eating termites and invertebrates, these golden moles quite surprisingly even consume vertebrates of the same size such as legless lizards, skinks and web-footed geckos. . A range that coincides with coastal desert where human influence on habitats is limited and only local habitat alteration and fragmentation is known, suggest that this species is currently not threatened with extinction. However, the population trend as well as a precise estimate of overall numbers are still unclear and therefore make it difficult to assess the potential need of conservation efforts. . IUCN conservation status: “Least Concern” . #taiapo #goldenmole #connectwithnature #nature #wildlife #conservation

Can we talk about the side-eye this tufted puffin is giving?? This bird nests in deep burrows that it digs into a cliff by the ocean. They can hold up to 20 fish in their bills! . . . . . . #animalplanetupclose #animalsofinstagram #animalplanet #animaloftheday #wild #wildlife #outdoors #animals #wildanimals #conservation #nature #animallovers #instanature #wildgeography #puffin

Love monkeys like this endangered Peruvian woolly monkey @ibamagov? On this World Monkey Day, you can protect this, and hundreds of other species by pledging to not keep primates as pets. Monkeys like this one face many serious threats, but in cases like this, the illegal pet trade could very well lead to the species’ undoing. In recent years, gray woolly monkeys have, unfortunately, become popular pets. Taking these monkeys from their forested home in the Amazon is often a heartbreaking process where mother monkeys are shot and killed, allowing for newly orphaned babies to be taken from the wild and sold via the pet trade. While protected areas like national parks can help to protect remaining populations and the land they depend on, the practice of illegally taking woolly monkeys out of the wild will continue to threaten their survival until the demand for monkeys as pets has been extinguished. #MonkeyDay #woollymonkey #peruvian #endangeredspecies #primate #monkey #cute #notapet #PhotoArk #savetogether

Ditch the deals and get black to nature. Our blue-eyed black lemurs (Aykroyd and Belushi) are coal-black now, but they were born with light, orange-blonde fur. Only males turn completely black, which led early researchers to mistakenly surmise that they were two different species. #optoutside #BlackFriday #BlueEyedBlackLemur #sdzooAfricaRocks #sandiegozoo 📷Mike Wilson

Alan! Alan! 🗣 If you look closely at the hyrax's large incisors, you might notice they resemble tiny tusks. That's because these salty tater tots share an ancestor with the elephant. Hyraxes also have strong molars to grind up vegetation and a three-chambered stomach to help digest their plant-based diet. #parkourpotatoes #rockhyrax #saltytatertots #plantbased #sandiegozoo 📷 Craig Chaddock

Photos by @timlaman | The bird of paradise family has an incredible diversity of species in which the males have evolved ornaments and dances to impress females through sexual selection. It’s hard to believe these various birds are closely related, but they are (pictured): 1) lesser bird of paradise 2) western parotia 3) red bird of paradise and 4) Wilson’s bird of paradise. All this amazing birdlife was photographed in West Papua, Indonesia. If you are in Vancouver, come see my NatGeo Live presentation Tuesday, February 4, at the Orpheum. Or follow @TimLaman to see more of these crazy birds and read their stories. #birds #birdsofparadise @birdsofparadiseproject #indonesia #papua
