Hey there!! I'm back with yet another read, and this time it's on the world's most bizarre animals ranging from the cutest to the terrifying ones.
Make a note you might even see them on your next trip if you know where to look.
Let me start off with itsy-bitsy!! yup, you guessed it right!! its a spider..
1. Sparklemuffin
Introducing Sparklemuffin and Skeletorus, New Peacock Spiders!
This Australian peacock spider was discovered inside the woodland forests of Wondul National Park, near Brisbane, in 2015. Scientifically named maratus jactatus, sparklemuffin earned its colloquial name from University of California researcher Madeline Girard, who discovered the species. These colorful spiders measure just five millimeters in length and display a signature mating dance, where male spiders raise a leg to signal females.
The peacock spider's adorable dance moves will captivate you
The dance is kind of like a sexy arachnid Hokey Pokey.
The peacock spider puts his left leg up and he shakes it all about. He also seems to clap, wiggle and shimmy. Even arachnaphobes can appreciate these dance moves.

LETS TAK ABOUT THE SKIES... THE UNCROWNED PREDATOR KING OF THE CLOUDS, THE LARGEST OF THE EAGLES.
2. Harpy Eagle
With a look that suggests a cross between
a cockatoo and a bird of prey, the harpy eagle
is one of the most distinct birds on the planet.
Their wings can span over seven feet in width,
carrying these 20-plus pound birds over the
rainforests of Central and South America, where
they hunt down large mammals like sloths and
monkeys. Harpy eagles are threatened by habitat
loss, but this bird can be seen at the
The Belize Zoo, a sanctuary for native species about an hour outside of Belize City.
Unlike many birds of prey, Harpy Eagles can go quite a long time – over a week – without eating. They can go even longer without catching quarry. If they are able to hunt a good-sized prey item, they will feed on the same animal for several days.
3. Coatimundi
A bizarre sight in most of the United States, the coatimundi is a common species in Central and South America that can occasionally be seen in the American Southwest. There, it takes on the roll of the raccoon in the food chain, scavenging for fruits, lizards, rodents and eggs — as well as raiding the occasional trash can. You can find coatimundis from Uruguay to Texas (USA), but be warned — though they might look cute and cuddly, coatimundis reportedly make terrible domestic pets.
4. Jabiru Stork
THE AVEIN GIANTS ON LAND
The glaring, dark stare of a five-foot-tall stork can be a frightening thing for the weary traveler. These mesmerizing birds can exhibit territorial tendencies, as seen in an infamous incident that occurred at the Belize Zoo. That stork’s exhibit now features a roof above the visitor viewing platform after a jabiru stork once tried to stab unsuspecting patrons with its 14-inch-long bill. Jabiru storks are native to Central and South America, where they typically feed on small mammals, fish and amphibians.
GET READY TO SEE SOMETHING CUTE!! ITS A MARSUPIAL NEXT..
THIS ONE IS DIRECTY RELTED TO ESTER,,
5. Bilby
Twenty million years ago, the bilby branched off from the bandicoot family, creating a marsupial that looks like a combination of a piglet, a rabbit and a bandicoot. Today, the bilby enjoys iconic status as Australia's version of the Easter Bunny. Each April, chocolate bilbies populate store shelves Down Under in an effort to raise awareness for the native animal that has lost some 80 percent of its population in the past 200 years.
With that, HAPPY EASTER Y'ALL.
6. Alligator Gar
This fearsome fish is a relic of the dinosaur age, dating back some 100 million years and growing to over eight feet in length. Their reptile-like snouts house rows of sharp teeth and an adaptation allows this fish to actually breathe air. Though intimidating in size and weaponry, alligator gar are docile creatures that can be found peacefully swimming freshwater rivers and lakes from the Rio Grande to the Missouri River
