Today, we're counting down the top 8 strangest animals on the planet. These creatures are so bizarre, you might think they're from another dimension! So make sure to hit that subscribe button and let's get started!Starting off our list at Number 8 is the axolotl, a Mexican salamander that looks like it's forever stuck in childhood. This creature never undergoes metamorphosis, so it retains its larval features, like gills, into adulthood.At number 7, meet the aye-aye. This lemur from Madagascar is nocturnal and has a witch-like appearance, with rodent-like teeth and a long, bony middle finger to tap on trees and find insects.Number 6 brings us the dumbo octopus, named after Disney's Dumbo because of its ear-like fins. These deep-sea creatures are rarely seen but are known for their adorable appearance and unique way of hovering through water.Halfway through at number 5, the star-nosed mole. This little critter is almost blind but makes up for it with its 22 tentacle-like appendages around its snout, making it one of the fastest eaters in the animal kingdom.Number 4 is the tiny but mighty tardigrade. These microscopic animals are also known as water bears and can survive extreme conditions that would be fatal to most other forms of life, including the vacuum of space!Coming in at number 3, the pangolin. This shy creature is covered in hard, protective scales and can curl into a ball when threatened. Sadly, it's one of the most trafficked mammals in the world.Number 2 brings us the tufted deer, a small deer from China that sports vampire-like fangs. These fangs are used during mating season battles for dominance.And finally, at number 1, the saiga antelope. With its oversized, flexible nose and otherworldly appearance, this antelope seems like it stepped right out of a sci-fi movie. This adaptation helps it filter dust and cool its blood.
