Our world is so biodiverse, full of creatures we know immediately, and also ones that are rare, unfamiliar, and strange.
Imgur has a really fascinating collection of (mostly) mammals that are still surviving in the wild, and you probably haven’t even heard of them.
Here are a choice few.

Zebra Duiker
The zebra duiker is a small antelope found in Ivory Coast and other parts of Africa. They have gold or red-brown coats with distinctive zebra-like stripes (hence the name) Their prong-like horns are about 4.5 cm long in males, and half that in females. They live in lowland rainforests and mostly eat leaves and fruit.
Kākāpō

Kākāpō, a large flightless parrot, which is also called the Owl Parrot.
The unique characteristics continue, as this is not only the heaviest parrot in the world, at up to 9 pounds, but also one of only two nocturnal parrots found anywhere. Though the Kākāpō cannot fly, it’s a strong climber, using its large feet to grab trunks and branches. It has owl-style forward facing eyes
Not only that, but it’s also one of the longest living birds in the world, with a potential lifespan of 100 years.
