Maybe the shark uses whatever it is Donald Trump uses.

The goblin shark, often referred to as a living fossil, dwells in the deep waters of the world's oceans. These weird animals have elongated snouts and protruding jaws that are perfect for attacking their primary prey — small fish and cephalopods.


Despite being rarely seen by humans, the goblin shark fascinates scientists with its ancient lineage and bizarre appearance. They consider the goblin shark to be a living fossil due to the fact that it hasn't changed much over the last 100 million years.

With their fluffy fur, diminutive size, and adorably enormous ears, the Fennec fox is one of the most coveted exotic pet species in the entire world. Fennecs are not particularly cuddly animals, but they are very playful and energetic. And as if that wasn’t already cute enough, happy fennec foxes even purr like cats!

Red Velvet Ant or "Cow Killer"

The Dasymutilla occidentalis are actually wasps. The females of the species are wingless and covered with red hair, giving it the appearance of an ant. The males of the species have wings, but cannot sting.

The red velvet ant is common in southwestern America and Mexico.

The wasp is also known as the cow killer, a misleading name because not many cows are stung, and it would be absurd to think that one bite would kill a cow. Instead, the name is a reference to the insect's severely painful sting, as if to say, "that hurt enough to kill a cow".

Flying squirrels, which are closely related to other squirrels, are capable of gliding between trees using their webbed feet and a membrane called the patagium.

These critters live in various parts of the world, including Southeast Asia and southern Europe. They're nocturnal, so they have excellent night vision, which aids them in navigating the boreal forests and catching prey. Another interesting feature? They glow hot pink in UV light.

David Greybeard revealed chimpanzees’ true intelligence​

Until 1960, scientists believed that only humans could make and use tools. But that changed when Jane Goodall observed a chimpanzee she named David Greybeard using a grass stalk to extract termites from a mound. Later, she watched him and another chimp make fishing tools by stripping the leaves off twigs. “[David] was the first chimpanzee who let me come close, who lost his fear,” Goodall told Bill Moyers in 2011. “He helped introduce me to this magic world out in the forest.” His actions helped overturn the long-held belief that only humans were capable of using tools, making him one of the most famous animals in the field of behavioral science.
