Animals are a big part of what makes the Earth so spectacular! Thanks to the internet, we can now get up close and personal with incredible animal species we may never have noticed before.
1. Here’s the Iberian lynx, one of the rarest wild cats on Earth.
2. “The adult male narwhal is an absolutely unmistakable animal. With its long tusk, it is like no other marine mammal in its range or anywhere in the world.”
3. The oarfish is the longest bony fish in the world. The longest confirmed sighting is 35 feet long, though some say they can reach 50 feet in length.
4. Australia and New Guinea are home to the fierce Chlamydosaurus kingii. We would have guessed “Jurassic Park,” to be honest!
5. Say hello to the comma butterfly, if you can find one.
