Dazzea’s odd wildlife.
Odd Animal 1: The Goblin Shark
The Goblin Shark is no ordinary shark as it
is the last living representative of an
otherwise extinct family called
Mitsukurinidae, which is 125 million years
old. A rare creature, it dwells near the
sea floor to hunt. This pink-skinned animal
is easily recognisable thanks to its elongated
snout and strange upper-jaw. It has been
classified as 'least concern' despite it's rarity.
A strange shark, has been given 8/10 'odd level'.
Odd Animal 2: The Star-nosed Mole
The Star-nosed Mole is easily identifiable
thanks to it's highly sensitive, star
shaped nose. The 20, fleshy growths on
it's nose are equipped with over
25,000 minute sensory receptors,
needless to say, it's nose is used as an
external touch organ. It's shovel like
hands are perfect for carving out tunnels
for the mole to traverse and live in. This highly advanced system of touch means that the mole has no need for good sight - henceforth it is almost entirely blind. Also, underground, there's not much need to see as it's so dark but the mole's incredible nose also can detect seismic wave vibrations. For this, we give the Star-nosed Mole a 5/10 odd level.
Odd Animal 3: The Axolotl
The Axolotl or Mexican Walking Fish, is an amphibian that is located in Mexico. Critically endangered and possibly extinct in the wild, a four month search for the axolotl was conducted with no survivors in the wild. Axolotls are small with small gills around their heads. Although the albino form is more often seen, black is their true colour.
