A very strange and even a bit exotic creature was found by trawlermen in British waters. I am talking about an albino ray. It is a kind of the 80cm-long fish and now it lives at the Blue Reef Aquarium in Portsmouth.
As far as I know, rays need special camouflage in order to be able to survive and hide from predators, but this species has no camouflage, so it got a cool name Gamma Ray. Good luck, dear ray!!!
These flights are insanely addictive, especially when I can’t get rid of these awful sharks below…
Do you enjoy water, fun, great company, swimming and diving? Then, Giant Otters will perfectly understand you! These animals are extremely curious, they are always ready to play and have some fun, shock people and prefer living in a group with ten or more otters.
Sometime, we live and even don’t know how many amazing animals are around us. Small and big, funny and dangerous, cute and ugly, they are an integral part of our lives, even if they live in a far-reaching Africa. Capybara! Have you ever seen it? And do you know that it is the largest rodent in the World? I guess, no. Its name can be translated as “Master of the grasses” (it is from Indian language) and from Latin – a “water dog”.

As soon as we write about curious animals – let me introduce the next evidence of narute’s sense of humor.
The platypus is among nature’s most unlikely animals. In fact, the first scientists to examine a specimen believed they were the victims of a hoax. The animal is best described as a hodgepodge of more familiar species: the duck (bill and webbed feet), beaver (tail), and otter (body and fur).
Webbed feet enable the platypus to swim well. Each hind foot of the male has a poison spur that can kill small animals and inflict painful wounds on larger ones. Crushing its food with the horny plates of the bill and mouth, the platypus each day eats about half its own weight in worms, insect larvae, mollusks, crustaceans, and vegetation, all consumed underwater.
The male Platypus has venomous ankle spurs which produce a cocktail of venom!!! This venom is not lethal to humans, but does produce excruciating pain; so intense that the victim may be incapacitated. 
And one mo fact about platypus, which confirm their leading position in the list of strange animals: platypus reproduction is unique. It is one of only two mammals (the echidna is the other) that lay eggs!
