Funny duckling with flowers

Hello, my dear readers! Tell me the truth, are you already tired form information? Or not? So, in any case, today we will look at the marvellous photos of our new friends and, of course, won’t forget about the previous ones.

The first photo in this album belongs to a tarsier – an amazing, freedom-loving animal. It can’t stand violence of any kind. As you remember, tarsiers even can kill themselves. So, be quiet in order for them not to start from you! I just adore their eyes – unbelievable!

Tarsius syrichta tarsier

Tarsiers, probably one of the most interesting animals in the world. They are exotic, funny and so small. Latin name is ‘Tarsius Syrichta’. They eat mostly insects, tarsiers grow up to 160 mm and weigh up to 165 grams. They can’t be mistaken with other animals and small primates because of a very peculiar appearance. Tarsiers possess large eyes and feet. They got such a strange name exactly because of the extended tarsus bones. These animals are perfect hunters because of large eyes and ears. They lead a night style of life. Oh, no! It doesn’t mean that they go to discos or participate in hot dancing nights, they are hunting and at day time they are mostly sleeping. Tarsiers’ vision is extremely acute and they can catch insects and even birds by jumping either from one branch to another or from one tree to another. Sometimes, tarsiers can hunt even snakes. Moreover, tarsiers’ neck can turn 180 degrees. :-) As a rule, tarsiers live on trees and they are of gray colour. Tarsiers possess a naked tale (unlike many other animals).

Probably the funniest animals of our planet! Everyone used to see their pictures when suricates are watching for predators while standing on hind legs or sitting on its haunches. Its really cute and funny view.

Suricates

A dig extensive burrow systems (large underground networks with multiple entrances) used by suricates for sleep, protection, and housing young, that is why we always see them all together…
All the time they seem very frightened and way, and, when watching they use their tail to balance during standing upright. Its face tapers, coming to a point at the nose, which is brown. The eyes always have black patches around them, which help deflect the sun’s glare.

Hello again my dear fans of unusual and curious animals. Our subject of today is a very specific and beautiful creation – tapir. I’ve read somewhere that tapir was listed impartially in top 20 of unusual animal of the world. They look like a mixture of the pig and elephant :)
Four species of tapir exist on the planet today. The tapirs are related to the primitive horse and to the rhinoceros, see yourself

Mam and baby tapir

Tapirs have been variously described as having brown eyes or having eyes with a bluish cast to them. Tapirs like to bathe, and will make treks to pools and rivers for this purpose. All are dense and bulky with hard, tough skin. They swim well, climb well, and bulldoze paths through the vegetation of their habitats – vegetation on which they also browse for their main food source. They eat aquatic vegetables such as leaves, buds, twigs, and fruits of low plants.
