Heads up! You are about to meet a really cool animal called the Tardigrade. Tardigrades are also called Water Bears and Moss Piglets. Let’s find out why. They live in the water and they are frequently found in the moss (which is also their food).

It somewhat looks like a teddy bear. It even looks like a stuffed toy. Tardigrades are very small creatures – in fact, they’re microscopic (which means that you need a microscope to see them clearly).

Have a copy of this book and you will know how to find Tardigrades, how to catch them, and even how to take care of them!

Why is this animal called the sloth? It’s a type of mammal – and it got its name from the meaning of sloth (which is lazy). Is the Sloth lazy? It’s not really lazy, but it’s slow. Its slow movement allows it to save its energy, because it’s not a very energetic creature. No, the Sloth is not a lazy animal.

Have you seen a Narwhal? Would you like to meet this magical looking creature? The Narwhal is also called Narwhale – and rightfully so, as it is indeed a species of whale. It’s a medium-sized whale, to be more specific. What makes this sea creature unique and extra special is that it has a really long tusk that makes it entirely different from other species of whales (and other sea animals, for that matter). Also, its tusk, which is similar to an elephant’s tusk, is actually a tooth. Have you ever seen a tooth as big (and as long)? Needless to say, this creature’s tusk is its main attraction. Some people see it as a sword – although that’s not an accurate description with regards to its use since the Narwhal really doesn’t use its tusk as a weapon. There is something really special about the shape and overall structure of the Narwhal’s tusk though. Their tusks were actually worth a lot of money in the past because they were sold as Unicorn’s horns. Since a Unicorn is a magical creature, their horns are thought of as magical and lucky. Moreover, because of their Unicorn-like tusk, Narwhals are also called Unicorns of the Sea – even to this very day. Excited to learn more about the Narwhal?

It’s not as popular as the horse or the zebra, but it has a close relative that’s very popular – the giraffe. That’s the reason why the Okapi has a long neck – although it’s definitely not as long as the giraffe’s neck. As a rare species of animal that’s also labeled as an endangered species, you are lucky that you picked up this book. Now, you will get to know the Okapi better and find out just how unique and wonderful this animal is.

This monkey has a very unique name. Why is it called Emperor? The Emperor Tamarin is a monkey with a moustache (that’s why it looks so much different from the usual monkeys).

What is an anglerfish? What characteristics are common for this species of fish?The Anglerfish is a species of fish that uses an angler or a lure that works like a fishing rod.

Their bodies are flat – that’s why they can easily bury themselves in the sand and go unnoticed.The Anglerfish has a very big mouth – and it can open really wide, too. So wide, in fact, that the fish can easily swallow its prey (its food) in one gulp. Don’t underestimate its mouth because it can open way beyond what you would expect.As for its most important characteristic (its angler or lure), this is actually a spine that’s located at the top of its head (just above its eyes).Excited to learn more about the Anglerfish?

Why is this marine animal called a Yeti Crab? To understand what a Yeti Crab is and why it’s named that, let us first understand what “Yeti” means. The word Yeti refers to a mythical (or made-up) creature that looks like an ape. According to legends, this creature is huge – very much taller than a man. It is often compared to humans because of the way it stands – it stands erect just like a normal person. The creature is also being compared to apes because again, it stands in the upright position, and even more so because it’s hairy – VERY hairy. Now let’s talk about the Yeti Crab which is also called by other names, such as Yeti Lobster or Furry Lobster. The Yeti Crab is a Crustacean species – just like crabs and lobsters. But the Yeti Crab or Yeti Lobster is not a crab – and it’s not a lobster. It is simply its own species of Crustacean. The most important part of its name is the Yeti part. By now, you probably already know why it’s called that. You see, a Yeti is VERY hairy – and the Yeti Crab or Yeti Lobster or Furry Lobster is indeed VERY hairy, as well.

Why is this fish called a Blobfish? Since blob refers to anything gooey and out of shape, this description fits the Blobfish really well. This is because this fish literally becomes a blob or a gooey mass once it’s taken out of the water. In fact, it is so out of shape and unrecognizable as a fish when it’s out of water, that it even won an award as the World’s Ugliest Animal. Can you believe that? A Blobfish measures about 2 ½ feet in its adult stage and weighs around 20 pounds. That’s almost the size and weight of a small child. As such, it is quite a big and heavy fish that a little child may find it hard to carry. The Blobfish can only be found in the deep waters of Australia and New Zealand, and even the people living in those countries may not be aware of them. Excited to learn more about the Blobfish?
