Xiaobian has always believed that animals are one of the most amazing and diverse creatures on earth. They play an important role in our lives, whether as pets, food or wild animals, they deeply affect our lives.
Those unique beings in the animal world refer to the existence of various "most" in the animal kingdom. For example, the fastest animal in the world is the cheetah, the tallest animal is the giraffe, the smartest animal is the dolphin, and the bravest animal is the lion... These "most" amazed the editor all the time, and at the same time let us understand and appreciate the beauty of animals more.
Xiaobian believes that this unique existence is undoubtedly the survival instinct that animals continue to evolve to adapt to the surrounding environment. When we cast our attention on them, we are often amazed by their uniqueness. I want to lead everyone into their world through my own words and understand their unique beauty and magic.
The following content is a summary of 35 strange existences that can be unique in nature. You may wish to follow the text of the editor to understand:
Blue Whale
The world's largest vertebrate, mammal, and loudest animal survives. It is also the largest animal on Earth, it is a type of baleen whale. They are found in all the world's oceans and can grow up to 33 meters long and weigh up to 200 tons. They have streamlined and tapered bodies and an elongated tail that is used to propel themselves through the water. When we look at the overall silhouette of the blue whale from above, we will definitely be captivated by its perfect body shape and marvel at the magic of nature.

(ii) Paedophryne amauensis
The smallest vertebrates and amphibians in the world. It is only 7.3 mm long. In the editor's opinion, the creator is really amazing, and the existence of the Amau child frog really fulfills the old saying: although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs. Although small, it is fully functional, and one has to marvel at the wonders of nature.

(iii) Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni
The largest invertebrate in the world, it is 15 meters long and weighs 400 kilograms. Seeing this animal, the editor will have an inexplicable sense of fear in his heart, and I don't know where it comes from. Perhaps it is an indirect reaction of the blue deep-sea phobia.

(4) Sandolian (Paramecium)
The world's smallest invertebrate, it is only 280 microns long. 280 microns, what is this concept? It's really tiny, and amazingly, its structure is so beautiful.

(v) Fragile Diacourosaurus (A. fragillimus）
The largest dinosaur in the world, it was 62 meters long and weighed 180 tons. The editor has seen dinosaur fossils and the dinosaur skeletons built from them, and when we stand in front of it, we can deeply appreciate the insignificance of human beings.

(vi) Compsognathus
The smallest dinosaur in the world, it is 0.75 meters long and weighs only 3.5 kilograms. In the era of dinosaurs, it is really a miracle that there is still such a similar existence!
Compsognathus
Bee hummingbird
The smallest bird in the world. In the editor's cognition, the hummingbird's appearance can definitely rank in the top ten birds, especially its unique feather color and slender beak. It's beautiful!

Stout infantfish
The smallest fish in the world. This kind of fish is really amazing, the editor can see through it clearly. It's incredible.

(ix) Jaragua Sphaero
The smallest reptile in the world. Everyone should have seen geckos, but have you ever seen such a small gecko? Unbelievable!
Jaragua Gecko (Jaragua Sphaero)
(x) Snail (Snail)
The animal with the most teeth has 26,000 teeth. Oh, my God! How can such a small animal, such a small mouth, and so many teeth in it? Creator, what a bull!
Snail (Snail)
(xi) Millipede
The animal with the most feet, it has as many as 750 feet. The editor sometimes wonders what will happen if a few of them do not listen to the call and walk around when crawling! (Everyone's brain supplement)
Millipede
(xii) Frigatebird
The fastest animal, it reaches speeds of up to 418 kilometers per hour. (To be honest, when I first saw the warship bird, I was confused by its appearance.) Never seen such a design! ）
Frigatebird
(xiii) Crocodylus porosus
The world's largest reptile, it is lizard-shaped, reaching a maximum length of more than 7 meters and weighing 1.6 tons. Crocodiles, from the sharp teeth, sharp claws, to the hard scales all over the body, all reveal a fierce aura, really raw people do not enter, acquaintances are also dangerous!

(xiv) Giant salamander
The world's largest amphibian, Xiaobian's first impression of the giant salamander, is still from the Chinese giant salamander. For this critically endangered animal, Xiaobian is very impressed.
Giant salamander
(xv) African ostrich
The largest bird in the world. The way the ostrich runs away, it really has a personality and is very good-looking. Of course, this is judged by the editor's personal aesthetic.
African ostrich
African elephant
The largest mammal on land, reaching a height of up to 4.1 meters and weighing up to 7 tons. Africa is truly a magical land, and the human life in this land is really miserable, of course, this is relatively comfortable compared to other continents. But the animals in this land are doing well, and there are so many kinds and large numbers that they are rare in other continents.
African elephant
(xvii) Ornithoptera alexandrae
The largest butterfly in the world. For some reason, when the editor arrived here, such a word appeared in his mind: fluttering moth. There should be some relationship between them!
Ornithoptera alexandrae
Capybara
The largest rodent in the world is more than a meter long. Speaking of capybaras, the editor actually makes up dolphins in his brain? Obviously, the wind and horses are not comparable! Could it be that knowledge is confused?
Capybara
(xix) Gorilla
The world's largest primate, standing up to 1.8 meters tall. Writing this, I actually made up "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", looking at the gorillas, I felt that they were full of power.
Gorilla
(20) Marmoset
The smallest primate in the world, it is only 10 centimeters tall and weighs only 100 grams. In my opinion, its ears are really unique.
Marmoset
Siberian Weasel
The softest animal, it can burrow into very narrow crevices. Does it have a realistic version of the "bone shrinking skill"?
Yellow ferret (Siberian Weasel)
(xxii) Moose (Moose)
The largest deer, it is 2.4 meters tall and weighs a ton. The moose's horns are really long, so beautiful.
Moose (Moose)
(xxiii) Javan Mousedeer
The smallest deer in the world, it is 63 cm long, 20 cm tall at the shoulder and weighs only 2 kg. It's the size of a rabbit. Look at its facial features, it's very savvy.
Mole (Javan Mousedeer)
(xxiv) Hippo
The world's largest terrestrial mammal with its mouth. Don't look at the hippopotamus stupid and cute, the editor can very responsibly tell fans and friends that this guy's temper is very, very bad, once he provokes it, chasing you is not discussed.
Hippo
(xxv) Fish
The largest variety of vertebrates in the world. There is a saying that humans evolved from marine life, do friends agree with this view?
Fish
(xxvi) Insect
The largest variety of invertebrates in the world. There are more than 1 million known species, accounting for about 80% of known biological species. 1 million kinds, what is this concept? We don't have access to 100 species. But they are real.
Insect
Galapagos giant tortoise
The largest living tortoise. Adult Galapagos tortoises are 1.2 meters long and weigh up to 300 kilograms. Life expectancy can reach 200 years.
The Galapagos tortoise is considered to be one of the important pieces of evidence for Darwinian evolution because these turtles developed different traits and habits on different Galapagos islands, which are related to their long-term living and adaptation in different environments. For example, some species of tortoise develop longer necks in drier environments to reach the leaves on taller branches.

(xxviii) Komodo dragon
The largest lizard in the world. The body can reach a length of 3 meters and weigh up to 108 kilograms. It is distinctive in appearance, with a large and wide head, a long and stout tail, and a body covered with large gray, yellow and brown scales. When I first saw this animal, my first impression was: it is dangerous.
Komodo dragon
(xxix) Amazon Forest Grasshopper (Eunectes barbouri)
The largest snake in the world. It is more than 10 meters long and weighs more than 250 kilograms.
They usually live in trees and can reach a body length of about 1.5-2 meters. The body color and spots of the Amazon Forest Grasshopper will vary according to different habitats and environments, generally brown, gray and yellow, and the body is covered with irregular spots and stripes that help them hide and protect themselves on the branches. In the editor's opinion, tropical rainforests, for human beings in arid areas, are a "disaster"!
Amazon Forest Cockroach (Eunectes barbouri)
(30) White rhinoceros
The largest rhino in the world.
They are called "white rhinos", but their skin color is actually gray, and the name is derived from the Dutch word "wijd", which is pronounced similar to "white", meaning "broad", referring to the width of its mouth. The long horn on the nose actually made the editor unable to stun Kong Erzi!
White rhinoceros
Grevy's zebra
The largest zebra. It is 2.75 meters long, 1.6 meters tall at the shoulder and weighs 450 kilograms.
Compared with other zebras, the stripes on the back of the fine zebra are narrower and the interval between the stripes is wider, so that its body presents a relatively large black part and a more unique appearance. Zebra stripes, bad eyes are recommended not to stare, easy to dizzy.

(xxxii) Malayan Tapir
The largest tapir. It is 2.5 meters long, 1.2 meters tall at the shoulder and weighs 540 kilograms.
The Malay tapir, a large, docile herbivorous mammal with a black and white speckled body, is sometimes referred to as the "spotted tapir". The shape of this animal is really peculiar, and it has the characteristics of several animals.
Malayan tapir (MalayanTapir)
(xxxiii) Deep-sea mussel
An animal that lives in the North Atlantic and grows the slowest. It takes 100 years to grow 8 mm.
Deep sea mussels resemble general shellfish in appearance, but they are usually larger than common shellfish, and some can be up to 30 cm long. The shell of the deep-sea mussel is very hard, usually round or semicircular, and the shell surface has many protruding ring-shaped teeth that are used to feed on organic matter floating in the ocean. Deep-sea mussels usually dig their own dirt or sandy bottoms, usually half-buried in dirt or sand.

(xxxiv) Okapi
The latest mammal ever discovered by humans, the okapi was not first discovered by European explorers until 1901.
The physical characteristics of the okapi resemble that of a very small bear, but their head and face are similar to those of a badger. They are generally between 60 and 70 cm long and usually weigh between 5 and 12 kg, with thick limbs and sharp claws. Their hair is black-brown or dark brown, often with gray or white spots. The okapi is a nocturnal animal that prefers to be nocturnal, but they also often move during the day.

(xxxv) Purple frog (Purple frog)
The latest amphibian ever discovered by humans, the purple frog was not discovered in the West Indies until 2003. Experts believe that the reason why purple frogs have not been detected is because they live underground, and they only appear on the ground during the breeding season, which is usually in June and July each year, and live in seclusion at other times.

When I wrote this, I was really moved: in the process of our relationship with animals, we can not only feel their uniqueness, but also discover the magic and mystery of nature. Of course, we should also cherish the uniqueness of these animals, protect their habitats and living environment, so that they can live and reproduce freely on the earth, and bring us more surprises and touches.
