  One-eyed shark

Strange Creature Inventory: One-Eyed Shark Zombie Fungus

  A rare shark fetus found in Mexico is 22 inches long and has only one eye, growing on the front of the head. In fact, the shark suffers from a congenital disease called "cyclopteria." Some animals, including humans, develop cyclops. This is the first time a one-eyed shark has been caught outside the mother's body. Jim Gellett, a shark biologist at the University of Northern Florida in Jacksonville, said scientists have found one-eyed shark fetuses many times before. But their failure to catch one-eyed sharks outside the mother's body suggests that the sharks can't survive in the wild for long.

  Rock chameleon

  This chameleon was recently discovered in the species-rich African island nation of Madagascar. The chameleon,whose scientific name is "Furcifer timoni," resembles a bewildered rock singer, hence the name confused rock chameleon. (Confusing rock refers to a style of rock and roll that dresses up more than music.) )

  fungi

  In the Brazilian rainforest, the head of the zombie ant grows outwards a stem-like object, which is actually a newly discovered fungus called "Ophiocordyceps camponoti-balzani". Scientists said in March that the fungus was originally thought to be a single species called "Ophiocordyceps unilateralis," but actually had 4 distinct populations, all capable of mental control over ants. Once ants move to the area that is best suited for them to grow and spread spores, they kill the killer and kill the ants.

  Water drop fish

  Dripfish live mainly in deep water off the coasts of Australia and Tasmania and are rarely found by humans. Dripfish live in an environment where the water pressure is tens of times that of sea level, and it is difficult for the fish to work effectively in this environment. To maintain buoyancy, the body of the droplet fish is made up of a gelatinous substance that is slightly less dense than water. This makes it easy to float from the bottom of the sea without effort. Lack of muscle is also not a big problem for the water drop fish, because it mainly lives by swallowing the edible substances in front of it.

  Blood-sucking flying frog

  This new species of frog lives in the mountainous jungles of Vietnam. Discovered in 2008, he is 2 inches (about 5 centimeters) long and lives only in the fog forest areas of southern Vietnam, capable of gliding from one tree to another using its webbed limbs. Tadpoles usually have mouthparts, similar to beaks. The pups of the vampire flying frog have a pair of hard black hooks protruding from under the mouthparts, and this "fangs" has been found in the frog pups for the first time.
