Bradt Travel Guides has just published a book titled “ 100 Strange Animals ” that features the strangest Animals living in the wild that humans have ever encountered. Below are the creatures that are considered the most monstrous in the natural world.

1. tarsier

The tarsier , a species of monkey from Southeast Asia, has very large eyes. Each of its eyeballs is approximately 16 mm in diameter, equivalent to the size of its entire brain.

2. Viper snake fish

The viper snakefish (scientific name: mesopelagic), found at depths of 80 to 1,600 m and belonging to the genus Chauliodus, is one of the fiercest-looking creatures in the ocean. At night, some Viper fish turn black and begin to glow with bioluminescent parts distributed in “ 
strategic ” areas of the body. The stomach of the viper snakefish is very large and elastic, which helps them swallow and digest prey that is even much larger than them.

3. mono load

These 
Uakari monkeys have a bright red head and fur, making their appearance even more monstrous. Locals in South America call them “ 
English monkeys ” because they remind them of the first British who came here because they were not used to the climate and had red faces from the sun.

4. Tortuga mata mata

This fairly large 
freshwater turtle has many very strange characteristics. On the outside they look like a layer of bark and soaked leaves. A nose protruded from his body. This nose acts as a snorkel, helping the Mata mata turtle to dive underwater.

5. Spotted Tenrec

This animal lives on the island of Madagascar, home to many of the world’s strangest creatures. The Tenrec’s body is full of stiff black hair with yellow spots. The danger of this 
yellow-spotted Tenrec lies in the poisonous spines located around its neck.

6. ajolote

The axolotl is considered a Peter Pan of the animal world since it maintains its larval appearance throughout its life. In addition, the axolotl also has a special ability to regenerate. When they lose one leg, they will soon grow another. What is even more unique is that they can regenerate complex organs such as the brain or spinal cord. This is also the reason why the scientific community is very interested in this “ 
aquatic monster ”.

7. Babirusa pig

If we look at the shape of the 
babirusa pig , it will not surprise us that they have become a legendary animal for the residents of the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia. At the “ 
suggestion ” of the pig Babirusa, the people here came up with all kinds of stories about a monster with an evil face.

8. Long-nosed monkey

With a big belly and long nose, this animal is considered the funniest in the animal world.

9. Two-tailed worm

This 
worm has a face that scares anyone who sees it. Not only that, they also have two small tails that help them disguise themselves as their natural enemies.

10. Leaf Frog

This 
frog chooses to dress up as a dry leaf. If you don’t look carefully, you can hardly recognize them among the fallen leaves on the ground. This species of frog also rarely moves. Whenever they hunt, they hide in one place, wait for their prey to fly by, and suddenly attack.
