Whoa, check this out! This creature is a type of armadillo.
Why do you think it has those scales on its back?!
This is called a tarsier. It’s a primate, the same
family that includes monkeys.
Tarsiers are nocturnal—they only come out at night.
Bigger eyes help them see better in the dark!
Believe it or not, this is real!
This is called a star-nosed mole.
The star-nosed mole has these strange tentacles
on its snout. What do you think it uses them for?
Moles live underground and have poor eyesight.
This mole uses these to feel around in the dark!
Scientists keep discovering new animals in the
deep sea. This one we discovered a few years ago!
Here’s another one discovered recently on a
deep sea dive. Can you guess its name?
It’s called the blobfish! They live at depths of
1 km (½ mile) along the bottom of the ocean.
