Top 10 Animals with Mind-Blowing Abilities

In the animal world there are still many mysteries that we have not yet discovered. Below will help you learn more about the special things of many very special animals.

1. Tardigrade (Water Bear)

The world’s most indestructible species — a stout, microscopic animal with four pairs of legs, known as the water bear or tardigrade — will survive until the sun dies, according to new research from Oxford University and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA).

2. Octopus

Inky the octopus from New Zealand escaped the tank where he was being held captive at an aquarium and traveled across the floor, squished into a 50-metre-long drainpipe, and slithered back into the sea where he belongs. Octopuses are sentient beings that want to live in freedom and deserve so much better than a life in captivity, whether it’s on display in a tank or stuck on a factory farm. Keep reading to learn how incredible these creatures are and why they need our help.

5. Mantis Shrimp

Just by looking at them, you can already tell: mantis shrimps are swimming rainbows. But their true color magic lies not in their appearance, but in how they see.

6. Lyrebird

The lyrebird is considered one of Australia’s best-known birds — you might recognise them from our 10 cent coin — but do we really know them? Famed for their spectacular courtship display, you may have seen footage of lyrebirds mimicking human noises such as chainsaws and camera clicks.

7. Immortal Jellyfish (Turritopsis dohrnii)

The life cycle of most jellyfish species is similar. Museum curator Miranda Lowe explains, 'They have eggs and sperm and these get released to be fertilised, and then from that you get a free-swimming larval form.

8. Bombardier Beetle

Dr. Duane T. Gish, assistant director of the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) has made some extravagant and unfounded claims about the bombardier beetle (genus Brachinus). This beetle defends itself by shooting boiling-hot fluids out its rear end at its attackers; Gish argues that no ordinary beetle could have slowly evolved into a bombardier beetle through any conceivable transitional forms because a transitional beetle with an incomplete mechanism would have either been burdened with a load of useless baggage, or else have blown itself to smithereens. In this article, we shall see how badly Gish has distorted the facts about this insect.

9. Platypus

If evolution ever had a sense of humor, the platypus would be its punchline. This egg-laying mammal has the bill of a duck, the tail of a beaver, and the feet of an otter. It swims like a fish, lays eggs like a reptile, and can even sense electricity in water.

10. Electric Eel

It’s no secret that electric eels stun their prey—accounts of such occurrences date back centuries. But unless you work security on the starship Enterprise, “stun” is a vague term. What really happens when these creatures attack? Until recently, biologists knew surprisingly little about the electric eel’s superpower. I was not planning to study this phenomenon, and I certainly never imagined I would offer an eel my arm in the name of science, as I eventually did.
