It is not difficult to observe the pets around humans to find that they basically grow on the aesthetic points of humans, soft and cute kittens, thick and honest puppies, intelligent and clever parrots and so on. They have a harmless appearance of humans and animals, which makes people willing to be a shoveler who works hard and complains.
However, there are still some strange-looking animals in nature, of course, the strangeness here is not demeaning, but simply strange. But a closer look at their appearance seems to have a specific necessity for existence.
The story of the mole should be seen by everyone, telling a series of funny stories about a small mole living in a primeval forest that collides with modern technology, but today the protagonist is not it, but its distant cousin, the star-nosed mole.
When you hear the name, everyone will be very strange, what is the star-nosed mole, is it a mole with a nose that looks like a star?
Star-nosed mole rat from the Americas, slightly smaller than the mouse, adult size is twice the size of the mouse, its biggest feature is the nose, the tip of the nose around the length of 22 small tentacles, a sharp look like the light emitted by the stars, so it is also named star-nosed mole.
This little mole rat that sleeps during the day and forages for food at night is very intelligent and vigilant, and will lie down before looking for food before each time it goes out of the cave to look for food, making sure that there is no danger before it will act.
Moreover, do not look at its small eyes and think that its vision is not good, the eyes of the star-nosed mole can see the situation within nearly a hundred meters underwater.
The perception system of the star-nosed mole rat is very sensitive, thanks to the circle of small tentacles around its nose, do not look at them in the nose part of the sense of smell, but on the contrary, these small tentacles belong to the haptic system tube, which is a great tool to help it perceive the surrounding environment.
How, does it look very practical?
The star-nosed mole is very good in sensory ability, and the one introduced next also "stands out".
This transparent-headed, less intelligent-looking fish is called a tube-eye fish.
Before introducing it, let me ask you a question, can you point out where its eyes are?
That's right! Its eyes are right there...
Over here!
You heard it right, it was indeed its eyes, and the two black and round ones in front of it were not.
The body of the tube-eye fish is short and tall, the abdomen and head are flattened, like an iron, the body length is about ten centimeters or so, and the two eyes look forward or upward like a telescope.
The eyes of the tube-eye fish are protected by a circle of transparent covers filled with liquid around them, allowing them to look upward through the transparent top of their heads, which allows it to creep closer to attack from underneath its prey.
The green in the eyes of the tube-eye fish can help it filter out the sunlight refracted into the deep sea, thus helping them to see more clearly the jellyfish and other prey around them and find the right time to act.
After talking about the uncommon, let's talk about the lamb that everyone is usually familiar with.
In everyone's impression, the lambs are bouncing and jumping, and the image of the sheep is cute, but there is such a sheep that may subvert your cognition, that is, the Damascus sheep.
Yes, it is it, don't look at it is not good-looking, in the Middle East can have thousands of years of breeding history, milk, fur, meat are very valuable, it is said that such sheep are valuable in foreign countries.
Damascus sheep did not look so "unrestrained" when they were young, and after weaning, they grew longer and crooked, which was enough to see the impact of changes in mouth and nose on appearance.
Moreover, breeders will cut off part of their ears at a certain time, possibly to add a few more "looks".
Damascus sheep are strong and have strong reproductive ability, and one litter can give birth to up to 4 litters, which shows that the appearance is not important, and how much value can be brought is an important criterion for determining the status of sheep.
Some of their ears are cut off, probably to add a few more "looks".
