What is the scariest animal that very few people know about?

 This animal isn't very well known, but it's quite creepy. It's called the cigar leaf shark or cookie cutter shark.

This is a very small shark that lives in all the warm oceans of the world, measuring less than 50 cm in size, but it will attack anything. They have even damaged submarines.

They live at depths of up to 4,000 meters, but come up to the surface at night to feed. Their hunting strategy involves taking a bite in one go, tearing off a part of their prey, and then returning to the deep sea.

They are called "cookie cutters" because they leave distinctive scars on their prey.

While attacks by these sharks are rare due to the depths they inhabit, there has been at least one reported incident: an attack on a man swimming in the open sea at night. However, swimming in the open sea at night is generally not a good idea…

Are hippos strong animals?

 Hippos are among the strongest animals on Earth, with few land animals that can match them in terms of muscular and bite strength…In the wild, where strength is a major factor that determines the chance of survival, the hippo reigns supreme, and is second to no other animal…

But the rhinocero, looking a lot like a hippo in size and shape , appears to be a little bit stronger…

The most surprising thing is that the hippo is soooooo strong even at this part of its body…

Which is the fastest animal on land, in the air, and in water, respectively?

 The fastest land animal is the cheetah, which can reach speeds of 100 km/h.

The fastest aquatic animal is the orca, which reaches speeds of 55 km/h.

The fastest bird in flapping flight is the white-throated spiny-tailed swift, which reaches speeds of 170 km/h.

There's no point in commenting about cheetahs and marlins reaching 120 km/h, because it's absolutely not true. And above all, don't mention the peregrine falcon, which reaches 390 km/h, because I too can do 250 km/h in free fall. And I have the aerodynamics of a chair. Thanks.

Is there an animal that has a worse birth than humans?

 Probably yes.

Hyenas lack an external vagina. Their clitoris is a pseudopenis about 15 cm long. This is the route through which the young must emerge into the world. Unfortunately, the young are quite large for mammals of this size, and this isn't made any easier by the fact that the opening is about 2 cm in diameter. A fetus ready to emerge has 6-8 of them.

For this reason, the first birth ends with a rupture of the foramen, which results in the death of new mothers in 10–20% of cases.

Worse still, only 25% of puppies survive birth.

Additional problems await 'deeper' - the hyena's birth canal is 60 cm (a lot) and the umbilical cord is much shorter, which means that the birth must be quick so that the fetus does not die from lack of oxygen.

So do hyenas have the most cruel childbirth in the animal world?

I think the inglorious crown goes to our feathered colleague from New Zealand:

The photo shows the skeleton of a kiwi bird, along with the egg it needs to give birth to.

You see, the kiwi's ancestors included the Madagascar ostrich (3 meters tall, 500 kg), and its cousins ​​include the cassowary and the emu. The kiwi's isolation on islands has had an evolutionary impact on its size—known as island dwarfism. Everything about the kiwi has shrunk—except for the size of its egg.

If I remember correctly, his bones and internal organs 'regroup' during labor to allow for the expulsion of this colossal baby.

What are some new animal or insect species found recently?

We just found a new species of agamid lizard in Thailand, and we named it Acanthosaura syrax after the dragon Syrax in the fantasy series House of the Dragon.

[1]

This is one of the smallest species in the genus Acanthosaura and has a smaller crest than other members. It is found only in a narrow strip of high-elevation forest at 1300 meters above sea level in Mae Wong National Park, Tak-Kamphaeng Phet Province.

Naming it Syrax after the popular TV series House of the Dragon is expected to draw attention to the need to preserve its very small natural habitat. If the narrow band of forest where it lives disappears, this newly discovered species will be in danger of extinction.

The name Syrax was also inspired by the fact that this new lizard lays many eggs, like a fantasy dragon, despite its small body size; as seen in the image above, it also has a similar yellow coloration.

What animal do you think is vastly misunderstood?

 As a species—birds.

Most people see bird species as these beautiful soft creatures that love to sing songs to each other and build pretty nests, even while knowing that many eagles and hawks can be quite violent…

….yet many people still misunderstand just how absolutely savage birds are.

Like—all of them.

The pretty ones. The ugly ones. The non-meat eaters. The pretty blue one you named Sunshine who loves sunflower seeds?

That one too.

Every make and model of bird has this inner dinosaur, which is appropriate given how closely related they are.

I saw a woodpecker bashing in the skull of another bird outside of my house once. My neighbor said he saw a hummingbird stab another hummingbird through the eye, impaling and killing it.

Even mother birds throw weak chicks out of the nest.

Falcons have this special feature called a tomial tooth:

It’s designed to break the vertebrae of its victims —which feels kind compared to what many birds do to their prey.

My mom has pet chickens, who are the closest living relative of T-rex’s, and boy do they live up to the reputation.

They kept pecking one of the chickens in the leg which was bleeding, making it worse and worse until we had to remove it entirely from pen.

The chickens routinely catch small mice and swallow them whole.

How can you not get T-rex vibes from that picture?

I could go on and on with examples but I'll spare you.

Birds are the underappreciated savages of the animal kingdom. Make no mistake. They can, will, and do fuck up any animal they are capable of.

What is the largest animal discovered most recently?

 Imagine you're aboard the Navy ship AFB-14 , sailing off the coast of Kaneohe, Hawaii. The date is November 15, 1976. The anchors are about to be pulled aboard when you see something caught in the middle of the bright orange, parachute-like device.

It's a shark, and a pretty big one at that.

Meet the greatmouth shark ( Megachasma pelagios ). These fish can grow very large—though not as impressively large as, say, a whale shark or a basking shark.

Greatmouths can reach nearly 20 feet (about 6 meters) in length.

It's impressive that these alien-looking sharks have managed to remain hidden for so long. Most of the enormous deep-sea creatures such as sperm whales, oarfish, giant and colossal squid, etc., have long been known to scientists, albeit not very well. Carcasses have washed ashore, specimens have been caught in nets, and, in the case of the sperm whale, we've hunted them for thousands of years.

It's not even that largemouths are super-smart and sneaky. They're relatively slow swimmers, even in deeper waters, and mostly just drift through the water column, sifting plankton from the sea into their cavernous jaws. Their bodies are flaccid and fragile, so much so that sperm whales bounce them around, at least in one case. Sperm whales are a bit of a jerk. You'd expect such a weak swimmer to be washed ashore all the time, but no. As of 2018, fewer than 99 largemouths have been recorded, most of which are carcasses that washed ashore or got caught in nets.

Largemouths have been mistaken for small whales on numerous occasions. Given the vastness of their habitat, one has to wonder if they were perhaps the basis behind the legend of the Ningen . The Ningen is a popular cryptid as old as the internet, described as a pale, humanoid creature that is absolutely enormous.

Hmmm...

Ningen or not, largemouths are very, very large and, relatively speaking, only recently discovered.
