the 10 rarest animals

Hello my friends today I bring you a top of the 10 animals more rare found I hope you like it and good without more to lengthen me go to the top.

10- The pink fish with hands

He uses his fins to walk, rather than to swim, along the bottom of the ocean in this undated photo. The pink fish with hands (Brachiopsilus dianthus) is one of the nine species recently named described in a scientific review of the family of fish with hands (Brachionichthyidae). Only four specimens of this slippery pink fish with hands, of 10 centimeters, have been found, all in the area near the island of Hobart, on the Australian island of Tasmania.

Although no one has seen a pink fish with hands since 1999, scientists have taken years to identify it as a new species. The 14 known species of fish with hands are found only in the shallow waters of southeastern Australia. These fish are poorly studied and little is known about their biology or behavior.

9.- he lizard Leiolepis ngovantrii

It could be called the surprise (of the menu) of the day: a popular food in Vietnamese restaurants has turned out to be a lizard unknown to science. The newly discovered Leiolepis ngovantrii is not in danger of extinction, as the female reproduces by cloning and without the need for males.

The lizards of a single sex are not a rarity: approximately one percent of the lizards can reproduce by parthenogenesis, which means that the females ovulate spontaneously and self-cling to produce offspring with the same genetic code.

8.- The Simpsons Toad

While searching for lost species of amphibians in western Colombia, in September 2010, scientists came across three new species, including this toad with a beak (Rhinella). Its long, pointed nose resembles that of the villain Mr. Burns, from the television series The Simpsons, according to expedition leader Robert Moore, an amphibian conservation specialist for Conservation International.

This two-centimeter-long toad could be "one of the strangest amphibians I've ever seen," Moore added. The toad also has a strange reproductive habit: the tadpole phase is skipped. The females lay eggs on the forest floor, which hatch in fully formed toads.

7.- The fish that devours wood

A new species of Panaque found in the Amazon feeds on a fallen tree in the Santa Ana river of Peru in 2006. Other species of loricariids (known as catfish or siluriformes) use their teeth to scrape the organic matter from the surface of the wood sunken. The new species, still unnamed, is among a dozen known Panaque species that digest wood.

However, the Panaque in general are not able to digest wood. They only absorb the associated organic matter: algae, microscopic plants, animals and other remains. The wood passes through the fish and is expelled as excrement.

"The fish passes the wood through their intestines in less than four hours, something incredibly fast for an animal that supposedly digests wood," said Donovan German, a biologist at the University of California, Irvine, who is investigating the digestion of these fish in particular.

6.- The monkey without a nose

The noseless monkey of Burma or snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus strykeri) has a nose so flat that rain makes him sneeze, but apparently that is the least of his problems, according to conservationists in October 2010.

The only scientifically analyzed specimen (in the image) had been killed by local hunters when researchers discovered it in 2010, and was devoured soon after. It was the hunters themselves who spoke about this species to a team of researchers of Flora & Fauna International (FFI), in 2010.

However, the local demand for monkey meat is just one of the reasons why this new species is in danger of extinction. It is also threatened by deforestation.

5.- The ninja slug of Borneo

Boasting a tail three times longer than its head, this new species of long-tailed slug was discovered in the mountains of Malaysia, in the Borneo area.

This new spice throws your partner "love darts" composed of calcium carbonate and hormones, hence the name, the "ninja" slug. Scientists believe that this Cupid-like behavior can increase their reproductive success.

4.- The tubular nose bat

This fruit bat with a tube-shaped nose (Nyctimene albiventer), which became a sensation on the Internet, is just one of the nearly 200 species found during two scientific expeditions to Papua New Guinea in 2009.

Although it had been observed in previous expeditions, the bat was documented as a new species. Like other fruit bats, it spreads the seeds of the fruit you eat as part of your diet, and this flying mammal is crucial to the tropical forest ecosystem.

3.- The purple octopus

This purple octopus was one of the 11 new species found during a deep expedition on the Atlantic coast of Canada in July 2010. The 20-day expedition, in which Canadian and Spanish scientists collaborated, aimed to discover the relationship between cold water corals and other types of seafloor creatures in an environment still to be studied. For this they used an ROV called ROPOS to submerge in the coasts of Newfoundland with a maximum depth of 3,000 meters.

"It's been really spectacular," Ellen Kenchington, a scientist and researcher at the Canadian Fisheries Department, one of the official agencies involved in the project, told CTV News at the time. "It challenges our perception of the diversity that is out there ... We are discovering new species in deeper waters."

2.- The leech T. rex

This new species of weevil was discovered in a remote area of ​​the Peruvian Amazon and has been named Tyrannobdella rex. It can measure up to seven centimeters and has long teeth, like those of the dinosaur that gives it the name Tyrannosaurus rex.

What's more, "the bites of this new creature are relatively small," said study co-author Mark Siddall, an invertebrate zoology expert at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. For this and more reasons, this species of leech is among the "rarest species of 2010".

1.- The squid worm

Is it a squid? Is it a worm? At first, this new species perplexed the Census of Marine Life researchers, so much so that they threw in the towel and called it a squid worm. This four-inch-long creature, discovered through an ROV 2,800 meters below the Celebes Sea in 2007, turned out to be a member of a new family of the Polychaeta class or polychaetes (annelids).

The study carried out on this creature was published in Biology Letters in 2010, and it was baptized as Teuthidodrilus samae or "sama squid worm" (sama is the name in bayao that receives an ethnic group from the Philippine Islands, not far from the where this new species was found).

That was all friends I hope you enjoyed it and if you like it share so that many more people see it, remember to follow me for more curiosities and top like this and give it like, until the next blog curiosity, see you.
