This is going to be tough. There are so many weird animals that I don't remember their names or can't pronounce them. I'll go with the Bird of Paradise, which made me laugh out loud when I had first seen it dance on the Planet Earth series.

That's a bird? Okay, someone's going to have to explain to me what I'm looking at

Here's what it looks like from another angle:

The Star-nosed Mole. 15-20 centimeters of pure evil bent on destroying everything you have ever loved. People tell me I'm overreacting, and that it's just a tiny harmless animal. Well, Godzilla started out as a tiny harmless lizard before being exposed to radiation, and look how that turned out. This spawn of Satan's nightmares terrorizes the North-Eastern United States. You know what else happened in the North-Eastern US? The Three-Mile Island nuclear disaster. I rest my case. Kill it now; kill it with fire; kill it before it mutates into something bigger and kills all of us.

I take offense in that. Godzilla was a dinosaur. Only Roland Emmerich thinks he was a lizard. Since Godzilla is sure to be far too outraged to comment, I'll speak on his behalf and demand a public apology.

The giant anteater. As weird animals go, it’s a classic.

My true appearance.

No, it's a blobfish.

Looks like a cross between Jabba the Hutt and W.C. Fields.

Okay, here we go:

"Goodnight, Mrs Calabash, wherever you are!"

^^ Proboscis monkey — that’s a good one.

I see you used the very first picture that comes up in Google Images. Lazy, huh?

the Barreleye fish.

At this point we have decided that anything that comes from the deep sea is pure evil. This one appears to have been dreamed up as a children's learning tool by Satan's kindergarten teacher.
It's a barreleye fish and you can see through its head. The weird green balls inside are its eyes, and they are frozen staring upwards to find fish.
That's right. Rather than giving it a great sense of smell or touch or superior electromagnetic senses to help it hunt in the darkness of the deep sea, nature saw fit to glue eyes on the top of its brain and give it an invisible skull. Why not?​

I think it was on page two, actually, but I didn't have much time-- I had to leave for Easter brunch.

Okay, last call for entries. There's still plenty of weirdness left in the animal kingdom for anyone who wants to make a last minute entry, otherwise the poll goes up soon enough.
