I'm not entirely sure why, but I've always liked weird animals. Yeah sure I like the more normal, popular ones like dogs and monkeys and such, but my favourite ones have always been a little less than normal. For example, my favourite animal right now is a sloth. Those stupid, slow mammals that can kill themselves from mistaking their arm for a branch.I obsess over these animals, I remember once we went to the Toronto Zoo, and they had a sloth there that day. I cried when I saw it. It's hard to make me cry, I was just that obsessed, the happiness it brought me to see a living sloth brought me to tears.
I'm not sure what pulls me towards liking these strange animals, but it happens. Maybe it's the fact that they aren't talked about a lot, thus when I discover them or research them more I'm very intrigued.
I've compiled a list of wacky animals that I still somehow like. Here it is.
1. Blob Fish
This animal is a fish, as you could probably tell from the name. It doesn't look like a fish though, more like a science experiment gone wrong. It was chosen as the world's ugliest animal in 2013. It's extremely rare. They have almost no muscle or skeletal structure, and only become "blobbly" when brought above water.

2.Narwhal
Narwhals are the unicorns of the sea. They're whales with one giant horn, which is about 8.8 feet (2.7 metres).

3.Platypus
I had a phase in which I was obsessed with this animal, just like the sloth. It's like a mix between a duck and a beaver.

4. Shoebill
This bird looks exactly like the bird creatures from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
