SOME OF THE WEIRDEST/FUNNIEST ANIMALS

The Pacu Fish is especially terrifying thanks to the set of human-like teeth inside its mouth.Throughout South America, this fish is known as the “ball biter” due to its bad habit of chomping down on the male testicles while they are in the water.Massive eyes are the common feature of the Tarsier, as are the longer feet. These mammals tend to only eat insects, which they catch by leaping towards them. Birds and snakes are sometimes on the menu, however. Tarsier are nocturnal, so finding them in the daytime is possible, but a little harder.
You really cannot miss this Old World monkey when it rears its ugly head towards you. The protruding nose of the male is said to be a sexual characteristic. The females of the species tend to choose the bigger nosed males over any other.


Another one of the ugliest creatures to grace our planet, the Blobfish lives in deep waters off the coast of Australia and Tasmania. These ugly fish can be located at depths where the water pressure is dozens of times higher than normal. The Blobfish is mostly gelatinous 





















































 
Try looking into that face and not giggling to yourself. It’s difficult. The Pygmy Marmoset is one of the smallest primates on the planet, and lives within the rainforests of western Brazil. The males weigh around 5 ounces, and females tend to weigh about 4.2 ounces on average.
