1
00:00:31,509 --> 00:00:39,179
Bright Side has prepared for you a selection of ten strange animals that you have probably never heard of, let alone, ever met.
2
00:00:39,180 --> 00:00:41,900
And at the end, you'll find a bonus that will blow your mind.
3
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,700
Number ten - Mangalitsa pig, aka a pig in sheep's clothing.
4
00:00:52,899 --> 00:00:58,259
The birthplace of this curly-haired pig is Hungary, where it was discovered in the mid 19th century.
5
00:00:58,780 --> 00:01:03,480
Due to the fleece covering this animal, it resembles a sheep, therefore its name.
6
00:01:03,790 --> 00:01:08,309
The fleece can be black or red, but these cuties are most commonly blond.
7
00:01:08,650 --> 00:01:13,109
This is the last pig in existence to boast such an amazing winter coat.
8
00:01:13,869 --> 00:01:15,929
Tragically, it was nearly extinct by the
9
00:01:16,330 --> 00:01:23,099
1990s, when fewer than 200 pigs could be found in Hungary, all because of their extraordinarily tasty lard.
10
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,380
Thankfully, nowadays, the future of Mangalitsa looks much brighter!
11
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,600
Number nine - Rhinopithecus, or golden snub-nosed monkey.
12
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,228
The name of this species is roxellana, and there is a story behind it.
13
00:01:43,229 --> 00:01:50,758
It is believed that they were called this way after the supposedly snub-nosed courtesan of Suleiman the Magnificent, a 16th century
14
00:01:51,070 --> 00:01:53,048
Sultan of the Ottoman Empire.
15
00:01:53,049 --> 00:02:00,929
Another interesting thing is the difference between male and female monkeys, with males being twice heavier than females and of a different color.
16
00:02:01,420 --> 00:02:05,460
Girls have darker, or even black tones on their forehead and upper parts.
17
00:02:07,049 --> 00:02:10,368
Infants have such a light coat, it may seem white in the sunlight.
18
00:02:13,650 --> 00:02:15,650
Number eight - Emperor tamarin.
19
00:02:18,510 --> 00:02:24,230
This guy looks like a real emperor, or at least a wise old man, with its fabulous mustache.
20
00:02:24,510 --> 00:02:31,069
And indeed, they were called like this because of the resemblance of their mustache to that of German Emperor Wilhelm II.
21
00:02:32,940 --> 00:02:38,059
The size of this cute little thing is only about 10 inches, or 26 centimeters,
22
00:02:38,069 --> 00:02:42,049
but their tail can be up to 16 inches, or 40 centimeters long.
23
00:02:43,140 --> 00:02:43,780
They live in groups of between 4 to 20 animals, and often give birth to twins.
24
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,800
They are not completely vegetarian. Besides flowers, nectar and fruit,
25
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,009
tamarins can feast on frogs, snails, and even small birds.
26
00:03:04,590 --> 00:03:06,860
Number seven - Patagonian Mara.
27
00:03:08,910 --> 00:03:14,089
If you are wondering if this animal is a cross between a kangaroo and a hare, think again.
28
00:03:15,690 --> 00:03:19,399
Patagonian Mara is the fourth largest rodent on our planet.
29
00:03:19,620 --> 00:03:22,100
There are several interesting facts about them.
30
00:03:22,590 --> 00:03:26,030
Females often put offsprings into creches for safety.
31
00:03:26,310 --> 00:03:32,449
Males help to guard their babies. They grunt when they try to threaten and also they squeal like guinea pigs.
32
00:03:35,459 --> 00:03:41,719
If you startle them, these animals can leap up to 6 feet or 182 centimeters in the air.
33
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,549
What's your record jump? As for their character, well, they can be quite flighty.
34
00:03:49,890 --> 00:03:51,890
Number six - fluffy cow.
35
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,059
In fact, there are several secrets
36
00:03:57,060 --> 00:04:04,640
surrounding these big plush toys. First of all, it's not a new breed. All these lovely cows belong to the breeds already known.
37
00:04:04,890 --> 00:04:08,809
The thing is, they are looked after by special people, whose work
38
00:04:08,810 --> 00:04:14,360
it is to wash, dry and use product to style the animals so they look as fluffy as they do.
39
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,958
What is more, it is necessary to maintain them daily,
40
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:23,238
and it will take months of regular grooming till they get this lovely look of kids' toys.
41
00:04:23,460 --> 00:04:29,720
It is done mostly for shows, and it typically takes about two hours to bring them into form before a performance.
42
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:36,709
Hair sprays are used to fix their fuzz, and natural oils are applied to make their fur look shiny.
43
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,320
How much time do you spend in front of the mirror?
44
00:04:41,820 --> 00:04:44,029
Number five - Markhor goat.
45
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:51,919
If you see a creature which looks as if it's trying to catch an alien radio signal from space,
46
00:04:51,930 --> 00:04:58,549
it's most likely a Markhor goat. They can grow as long as six feet or 180 centimeters from head to tail.
47
00:04:58,830 --> 00:05:05,330
What is even more shocking is that their horns can grow up to 5.2 feet or 1.6 meters long.
48
00:05:05,550 --> 00:05:10,220
But that's only true for males, which use their horns for fighting during the mating season.
49
00:05:11,340 --> 00:05:15,350
Female horns grow only up to ten inches or 25 centimeters long.
50
00:05:15,630 --> 00:05:21,380
They are strict vegans, if we can say so. They eat leaves grass fruit and flowers.
51
00:05:24,090 --> 00:05:26,119
Number four - raccoon dog.
52
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,629
If you can't decide if you want to have a dog or a raccoon as a pet,
53
00:05:32,630 --> 00:05:35,580
we have just the thing for you - a raccoon dog.
54
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:42,040
Despite having raccoon like markings on their fur, they are not very closely related to the North American raccoon.
55
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,430
Their much closer relatives are domesticated dogs, wolves and foxes.
56
00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:49,649
Raccoon dogs are monogamous,
57
00:05:49,650 --> 00:05:56,329
which means they mate for life, and a pair of them works together raising and bringing up their kids. When the female is pregnant,
58
00:05:56,580 --> 00:05:59,449
the partner brings food for her. And flowers.
59
00:05:59,580 --> 00:06:04,788
But nobody has seen it, so it might not be true. Raccoon dogs are unique creatures.
60
00:06:04,789 --> 00:06:11,059
They are the only mammals of the dog family which go into short periods of hibernation, and what is even more amazing,
61
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:16,130
they choose to bed down in pairs. And their voices are just so cute!
62
00:06:23,610 --> 00:06:25,880
Number three - the blue footed booby.
63
00:06:28,259 --> 00:06:32,209
These charismatic birds are sure to catch your eye if you ever visit the
64
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:35,929
Galapagos Islands. They can look a bit clumsy and comical on land,
65
00:06:35,930 --> 00:06:42,829
but they are excellent at flying and swimming. The birds have funny and complicated mating rituals. To attract a female,
66
00:06:43,380 --> 00:06:50,809
males perform some dance with the elements of high-stepping, stamping their feet, and sky pointing, raising their bill up into the air
67
00:06:51,330 --> 00:06:55,369
accompanied with high-pitched whistling. If a female is impressed enough,
68
00:06:55,370 --> 00:07:01,579
she may come up to the male, touch him with her bill and join the dance. And their blue feet have an actual
69
00:07:01,830 --> 00:07:09,740
scientific explanation. It comes from the birds fish diet, and indicates their healthy immune system. And what about the colour of your feet?
70
00:07:13,509 --> 00:07:16,019
Number two - the Malayan colugo.
71
00:07:18,220 --> 00:07:22,559
These eyes probably see a lot and seem to find everything surprising.
72
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:28,409
It's the Malayan colugo, also known as the flying lemur. And both of these things are wrong.
73
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:35,009
It doesn't fly, nor is it a lemur. Yeah, this happens all the time, the name-calling went wrong thing.
74
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,679
So why such a name? Colugo has a large gliding membrane, like a flying squirrel,
75
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,209
and they can glide for long distances between trees standing far apart.
76
00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:52,288
The paradox with these small animals,
77
00:07:52,289 --> 00:07:57,869
which typically weigh between two and a half to four and a half pounds, or one to two kilograms, is that though
78
00:07:57,870 --> 00:08:04,049
they live in trees, they are awkward climbers and not very strong. Hard life they must have. Poor things.
79
00:08:06,940 --> 00:08:09,869
Number one - Venezuelan poodle moth.
80
00:08:12,340 --> 00:08:17,669
This moth was only discovered in 2009, and doesn't it look like a furry poodle?
81
00:08:18,130 --> 00:08:20,369
Mammals need hairs to keep their body heat.
82
00:08:20,370 --> 00:08:25,380
But insects are cold-blooded and even if the poodle moth may look as if it lives in Antarctica
83
00:08:25,479 --> 00:08:30,869
with all this fur, it in fact comes from Venezuela, a tropical country. Its hairs
84
00:08:30,870 --> 00:08:36,330
don't serve for heating. Most insects have hairs for protection, or smelling and sensing the environment.
85
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,510
Perhaps it's true about the poodle moth, as well.
86
00:08:39,549 --> 00:08:44,430
But as it is a very new discovery, not much is known about this insect yet.
87
00:08:44,620 --> 00:08:50,940
So, is it cuddly? We can only guess, but the chances are high that it's not as cuddly as you wish it were.
88
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,629
And here's our incredible bonus - cloud antelope.
89
00:09:00,470 --> 00:09:03,669
This species lives in the clouds, that's why such a name.
90
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,950
Its bright blue fur is the reflection of cloudless blue skies in the area of its habitat.
91
00:09:09,050 --> 00:09:12,909
And its diet consists of sunrays and candies.
92
00:09:12,910 --> 00:09:17,469
And do you believe it? Neither do we. It's a fantastic toy made by
93
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,750
CMWyvern, but can we just dream about it being an actual living creature for a little bit?
