The Animals that you had never heard of before Thread

[chveik]

My mum went to a zoo with her class today, and they had in captivity a few animals I had never heard of before (or maybe I did in my long gone animal-fascinated youth)

- Siamang (arboreal gibbon from South East Asia)





here they are, howling like crazy

- Javan lutung/Javan langur



a potential spin-off for Glebe's monkey-based soap opera:



- Dalmatian pelican. most of the population can be found in Russia.



- Dhole/Asiatic wild dog. they seem to have an interesting social behaviour, living in clans without rigid dominance hierarchies.

That hangs up at my local barbers.

If you want to see one try looking in the mirror.

Christ, enough already. The ultimate aim of all media is not to find some way to put Keanu bloody Reeves in everything.

I used to read stuff about cryptozoology and it's really incredible that a mammal like this has only been properly discovered in the nineties.

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

What do those shrews do that makes them heroes ?

I didn't know there was such a thing as a clothes horse until recently.

I'd never heard of Pangolins until a few months ago but now they're bloody everywhere, the new Alpacas.

[Jittlebags]

Not just an animal, but it's own phylum. The priapulid worm.

[Voltan (Man of Steel)]

What an odd-looking creature. It really illustrates the dangers of selective breeding from a small gene pool.
