The scientific name of the Mexican salamander is the Mexican blunt-mouthed salamander. This amphibian is peter pan of the animal kingdom, which has been in the larval stage all its life, which also explains why it has pinnate gills and no eyelids. In addition to this, it has an extraordinary regenerative ability. After a salamander loses a leg, it quickly grows new ones, and it can even regenerate very complex body parts, including parts of the brain and spinal cord, so scientists are very interested in it. The animal is endangered and can only be found in Lake Hodgmirko on the outskirts of Mexico city.

The deer dolphin is a peculiar even-ungulateded animal of the wild boar family, living only on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi.

9. Inventory of the world's top ten weirdest animals in 2016: anglerfish
Even a carpet bombardment of the seabed may not be enough to catch the anglerfish. Some particularly stubborn anglerfish species can have children even after being buried in the belly of the fish. Once the male anglerfish finds a trace of a female, it engages in pre-mating teasing in a human way: teeth bite deep into her skin and secrete an enzyme that breaks down her lips and the other's body, attaching to her forever like a decaying esophagus.
2016 Global Top 10 Weirdest Animals: Leaf-horned frog
This amphibian is carefully disguised as a leaf, and it is difficult to distinguish it from the ground where it lurks if it is not carefully distinguished. The frog rarely moves around, waiting for the rabbit to wait until crabs, lizards, small rodents, and other frogs are particularly close to it, and then suddenly attacks and swallows the prey in its entirety. This frog is found in the hilly woodlands of southeastern Asia. Wildlife Worldwide can organise trips to the Sabah Nature Reserve, where visitors may be lucky enough to see gibbons, proboscis monkeys, short-tailed monkeys and weasels. Leaf-horned frogs are often found in these areas, although they are difficult to spot.
