18 Animals So Weird They're Probably Fake

Not saying they're not real, just saying they're suspicious.

1. The Muskox

Muskoxen look like they belong on a desert planet in Star Wars. What are they doing here on Earth? Nobody knows. They have lots of secrets; that's why their hair is so big.

2. The Saiga

This one actually IS from Star Wars. Which is a little suspicious if they're trying to make us believe this is a real creature.

3. The Christmas Tree Worm

Tiny little worms that look like Christmas trees and live in the ocean? Riiiiiight. VERY convincing.

4. The Shoebill

What the hell is this nightmare bird? It kind of looks like the stork that would bring demon children like the one from Rosemary's Baby. HIS EYES BURN INTO YOUR SOUL.

5. The Okapi

Okapis look like whoever made them was feeling lazy and just took parts from a zebra, giraffe, and horse and stuck them all together with a glue stick.

6. The Glasswinged Butterfly

This is a clear butterfly. Kinda seems like that's silly and not realistic at all and that is a prop from my grandmother's collection of glass trinkets.

7. The Pangolin

That's a baby dragon. And dragons aren't real so this is just ridiculous.

AND he looks like he's about to offer you a quest or something omg no way that is real.

A rhino with some lil' fuzzy ears? Are you kidding me? Get out of here. That's fake.

12. The Hummingbird Hawk-Moth

So...which is it? A hummingbird, a hawk, or a moth? LET'S TRY TO BE MORE BELIEVABLE WITH OUR NAMES HERE, PEOPLE.

13. The Bilby

OK there are many things wrong here. First of all, what the hell kind of name is a "bilby"? And the giant ears-weird nose combo is really uncanny. This animal looks like it's supposed to sneak into children's bedrooms and hide little gold tokens for good luck.

14. The Sea Bunny

This is supposedly an adorable sea slug that just so happens to look like a bunny rabbit. Honestly, that's the fakest thing science has ever tried to tell us.

15. The Coatimundi

Flickr: n8agrin

Their tails make them look like tiny brontosauruses and IF THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM WHY HAVEN'T WE SEEN THEM BEFORE.

16. The Pacific Barreleye Fish

National Geographic

This is a weird-ass fish with a see-through head and we're supposed to just accept that and go along living our life. IT HAS A GODDAMN SEE-THROUGH HEAD. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING EASY TO ACCEPT AS REALITY.

17. The Nautilus

The nautilus is basically a living fossil. Straight out of a limestone rock formation and swimming in the ocean. SKETCHY, at the very least.

18. The Narwhal

HAHAHAHAHA NARWHALS AREN'T REAL, BYE.
