22 animals that you haven’t heard of before

In the depths of the sea, the forests of Madagascar, and even the African savannas exist dozens of animals that look pretty exotic. These strange animals are a godsend for a photographer and a real puzzle for those who see the picture on the Net first: is it photoshopped or they really exist?

Nature created these bizarre animals, and they’re surely not a product of Photoshop or an artist’s imagination.

Smalljoys presents photos of 22 of the world’s most bizarre, but still quite real, animals. We’re ready to bet that you can’t imagine that they really exist.
