Amazingly Unique Pets, Insects and Other Animals
We have seen lots of unique animals posted on hundreds of different sites all over the internet. Here’s an additional list of distinct pets and insects and other animals.
Angora Rabbit
This is not a stuff toy. It’s an animal. If the Angora Goat and Angora Cat (World’s Most Unique Breed of Cats) are unique, the Angora Rabbit, a variety of domestic rabbit from Turkey is equally unique. It is bred for its long, soft hair and considered as one of the oldest types of domestic rabbit. This rabbit was a popular pet with French royalty in the mid 1700s and spread to other parts of Europe by the end of the century.
Devil’s Flower Mantis
One of the most unusual and weird-looking species of mantis is the Idolomantis diabolica. It is commonly called Devil’s Flower Mantis or Giant Devil’s Flower Mantis. This unique creature is one of the largest species of praying mantis that mimic flowers.
Lionhead Rabbit
This animal, originally from Belgium, is certainly unique. It is called Lionhead Rabbit, one of the newest breed of domesticated rabbits that has a normally furred body but with Angora-like wool surrounding the face, reminiscent of the mane of a male lion, hence the name. Lionheads come in many colors as other breeds. However, the wool on the mane and flanks diffuses the color, so that black rabbits will often have gray-looking manes and flank wool.
Six-eyed Sand Spider
The Six-eyed Sand Spider whose binomial is Sicarius hahni means Hahn’s assassin or murderer. It is a medium-sized spider found in deserts and other sandy places in southern Africa and close relatives may be found in both Africa and in South America. It is also distantly related to the recluses (Loxosceles) which are found worldwide. Studies of its venom have led some to recognize this spider’s bite as the most dangerous on record.

I read once there are many species of fruits that we are not familiar with as we only purchase those common to our locale. It seems that the same holds true of creatures – we are only familiar with those in our area. Thanks for broadening our horizons.

Great written article and fantastic pictures. I had to laugh at the Angora rabbit, it must take alot of work to keep it groomed. The insects are incredible to see up close. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge of these remarkable creatures.
