Slide 3
Chinese giant salamander
Chinese giant salamander. These salamanders live in mountain streams and lakes of Eastern China. These salamanders are considered an endangered species due to their use in Chinese medicine and they are considered a delicacy in China. The length of the salamander is 180 cm. Many say that they live up to 150 years, although the maximum recorded age of the salamander was only 55 years, and their Weight Limit can reach 180 kg.
Slide 4
Yeti crab
The Yeti crab was discovered in 2005 by a group of scientists who found it at a depth of more than 2 km. near the outlet of thermal waters. Many people think that they look like they are made of wool, but this is not so, their wool is thickly growing long bristles with the help of which the crab receives various information.
Slide 5
Viper fish
Another amazing creation of nature is the viper fish. She got her name because of her appearance- a terrible head with very large teeth, even in the Guinness Book of Records it was listed as the largest teeth compared to the size of the head. Its length reaches 35 cm, and they live at a depth of up to 2 km. They feed once every one or two weeks on small squid, shrimp and fish. The viper fish lives for about 40 years and sometimes becomes prey for sharks.
Slide 6
Axolotl
The first incredible animal can be called the axolotl. It lives in several lakes in Mexico. The body length of the axolotl is 15-25 cm. The adult form of the axolotl, during the process of metamorphosis, loses its external gills and begins to breathe using the lungs and through the skin. Translated from the Aztec language, axolotl means “water toy,” which is not surprising from its appearance.
Slide 7
Aye-aye or Madagascar little hand
Aye-aye is an amazing animal, which is considered the only representative of the family of arms. The body length of the aye-aye reaches 40 cm, and its tail is 60 cm.

Aye-ayes are considered a very rare species, which is listed in the Red Book. There are no more than 50 individuals left on the Earth of Madagascar bats.
Slide 8
Blob fish
Drop fish. This fish lives at a depth of 800 meters and feeds there on various mollusks and crustaceans. The peculiarity of the fish is that it incubates its eggs until the fry hatch from them. The length of the drop fish can reach 70 cm, and its weight is about 10 kg. What kind of animal: fish, scientific name Psychrolutes marcidus. Habitat: lives in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, found in deep waters (about 2800 m) of the coast of Australia and Tasmania. Special features: Drop fish live at depths where the pressure is several tens of times higher than at sea level, and in order to maintain viability, the body of the drop fish consists of a gel-like mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows fish to swim above the seabed without expending energy to swim. Dimensions: Maximum body length is about 65 cm.
Slide 9
Giant isopod
Isopods can reach a size of more than 40 cm in length and they live at a depth of 1600 meters. The largest recorded isopod was 76 cm in length and weighed 1.7 kg. The body of isopods is covered with hard plates. They feed mainly on carcasses dead fish descended on seabed. Due to the fact that it is not always possible to obtain carcasses of dead fish, therefore isopods are adapted to starvation and go without food for more than two months.
Slide 10
Angora rabbit
The Angora rabbit is considered one of the oldest breeds of rabbits bred in Turkey, which is where their name Angora comes from, because Angora used to be the capital of Turkey.

Of course, there would be a place to use your talents, because a cramped cage is very poorly suited for this. But, if you give this animal a little freedom and sometimes allow him to walk around the apartment, then all his quirks and talents will come true. Many even compare it to a kangaroo.
Slide 17

To date, scientists have proven that crayfish can only feed on already split coconuts. They, being its main source of nutrition, gave the name palm thief. Although he is not averse to eating other types of food - the fruits of Pandanus plants, organic substances from the ground and even their own kind.
Slide 23
