Mother nature is inventive: evolution does not stand still, it is experimenting. Once upon a time our planet was inhabited by terrible and large reptiles called dinosaurs. But in nature, as in the Universe, nothing is eternal, everything moves, everything changes. So, huge and beautiful animals were replaced by strong and beautiful animals! But in their shadow there are also such creatures that you simply cannot look at without laughter and tenderness. So what are they - the funniest animals? Photos of all these creatures are original, this is not a photo montage!
Fenech, or little fox
Feneki are the smallest representatives of the Canids (Dogs) family. In addition, these are the funniest animals of the fox genus. They can be found in North Africa and in the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula. Compared with their closest relatives - foxes - Phoenixes seem very tiny. It is understandable: an adult chanterelle hardly grows up to 22 cm at the withers, and their weight does not exceed 1.5 kg. These are the little ones!
It will sound paradoxical, but it’s just impossible not to miss the little Fenech when a furry and funny creature with huge ears and big black eyes runs through the hot desert sand. The length of the ears of this mini-fox is relatively impressive - 15 cm. It is the large ears and small body that make the Fenechs so funny. By the way, these funny animals look for a reason.
In nature, there is nothing accidental at all. Since Fenech is mainly a desert chanterelle, its large ears are a kind of “cooling radiator”: thanks to the blood vessels located in the ears, the chanterelle can remove excess heat from the body. This is vital in a hot desert climate. So Fenech is a small giant of large deserts!
Very fluffy rabbit
Some funny animals are decorative creations artificially grown by humans. Nevertheless, it is impossible to remain silent about them, because they are all children of nature. One of the funniest creatures is the Angora decorative rabbit. It differs from its relatives by “increased fluffiness”. The coat of this creature is 93% pure fluff. These rabbits are bred for the most part because of their soft and long coat. In individual specimens, it reaches a length of 30 cm!
Crazy muskrat
The desman is not just a ridiculous word, but also a relict species of mammals of animals belonging to the family Moles from the order Shrew-like. Like it or not, muskrats are truly very funny animals! You just look at them. At first glance it may seem that the animal is crazy, but no! Their funny and “bulging” eyes, combined with an always smiling mouth and raised legs make these animals indecently funny and cute at the same time.
To all emperors the emperor!
Marmosets are, without exaggeration, funny animals that live in the tropics of South America. Among these small and funny monkeys, there are representatives of not only dwarf marmosets and marmosettes, but also tamarines - chain-tailed monkeys. The most ridiculous of them is recognized as the so-called imperial tamarin. If you look at this creature, it will immediately become clear: these monkeys have a magnificent white "mustache" on their faces. This miracle of nature can be met in Brazil, in Peru, in Bolivia and in the rain forests of the Amazon.
Little hand or aye-aye
Madagascar hand-arm is the only representative of the family of the same name. This mammal is part of the Half-Monkey order. Its second name is aye-aye. He has fluffy and black fur, a long tail and elongated thin fingers. It lives in the tropics of Madagascar and leads a nocturnal lifestyle. Looking at this creation, one would think that the great writer John Tolkien “copied” the famous Gollum from him.
