15. The blanket octopus is not your ordinary octopus, they contain long webs connecting to their body. The females can grow as large as six feet while the males are only 5 centimeters in length. With the weight ratio to at least 10,000 to one, it sounds like mating should be fun. When the male finds a female octopus, he breaks off one of his arms and crawls inside her to store sperm, then swims off to die. Actually, that doesn’t sound very fun at all, but at least he got a happy ending, right?
14. This cracked out looking bat is not a bat at all but a lemur. The aye-aye lemurs are only native to Madagascar.

The naked mole rat may not look like the best animal to cuddle with but this species has very distinctive physical aspects, it’s the only mammal to maintain its body temperature in any environment. Naked mole rats also feel no pain.

And not to mention that it's naked!
10. No, it’s not lopsided, but the celestial eye fish species are a direct mutation of the telescope fish. They were first bred in Asia, with claims originating in either Korea or China. When they’re first born, the eyes appear to be normal but gradually protrude outward, and then turn upwards within the first six months. When purchasing celestial goldfish as pets, you must be careful when handling them and you must not have any sharp tank decor, as it could rupture the eye sacs. If the eye sacs are punctured, there could a slight risk of infection but the sacs eventually grow
