| Potoo Birds: This is a group of birds related to mosquito owls and barred owls, living scattered throughout the forest. During the day, Potoo often perches on a dry tree branch, motionless, its fur blending with the bark color to avoid predators. Potoo species are nocturnal and eat insects. Photo: Morten Ross . |

| Peanut beetle: This strange insect has a head that resembles an unshelled peanut. The cause of this feature is still unclear, although scientists think it may mimic the head of a lizard, to distract predators. This insect is defenseless. Photo: Projectnoah . |

| Fishing bat: This largest bat in the world has sharp claws like a eagle. They are also called Bulldog bats because they have a mouth that resembles a dog’s snout. At night, it dives down to grab fish swimming near the water’s surface using sonar. No other type of bat has the ability to catch fish like this species. Photo: Scientificcomputing . |

| Decorative spider: Recently discovered, this spider is believed to belong to the genus Cyclosa. They are quite small, only about 5 mm long, but using dried leaves and other materials create a much larger spider on the net. Photo: Wired. |

| Donald Trump’s Wig worm: This is one of the strangest creatures in the natural world. This is the caterpillar of a Megalopygid butterfly. But don’t let its appearance fool you. The hairs of this worm contain a poison that causes terrible pain if you accidentally touch it. Photo: Wired. |
