扒一扒那些長相奇特的動物,你一定沒見過

There are millions of unique species on earth, and each year scientists encounter hundreds of previously unknown animals. Most of them have existed for years without us knowing about them, and maybe for a good reason too because some of these beings are utterly terrifying and just plain creepy.

地球有數百萬種獨特的物種，科學家們每年都會發現數百種我們以前未知的動物。它們中有很多早已存活多年，但我們卻不知道它們的存在。也許是因為他們中有的長相奇特甚至於令人驚悚吧~

We here at Bored Panda have compiled a list of the most bizarre of these little-known creatures. 

國外一家網站（Bored Panda）就總結了一些鮮為人知的生物。

From alien-looking moths to extremely ugly fish, you're going to be surprised that these animals actually inhabit the same planet as us!

這裡有長得很像「外星人」的蛾子，還有醜醜的魚，你一定會吃鯨於這些動物居然和我們一樣都生活在同一個星球上！
