Help me make a list of rare animals
15 years ago
Recently it seems I've been seeing and hearing about species of animals I never knew existed. I'm looking for really obscure animals and not insects.
My ultimate goal would be a list of animals for a portfolio, animals that most very likely that have never been drawn anthropomorphic before. Have any ideas for me?
I'll start with a couple I found recently and didn't know about before:
1. The Grimpoteuthis. Also known as "Dumbo octopuses" from the ear-like fins protruding from the top of their head-like bodies, resembling the ears of Walt Disney's flying elephant. Here is a photo of one: http://bioephemera.com/wp-content/u.....7/05/deep5.jpg
2. Himalayan Tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) (or Himalayan Thar) is a large ungulate related to the wild goat.

All of these are Rare Birds of Paradise Found deep withing the tropical jungles of Africa.
Mostly named after the university professors who discovered them.
Their are less then 5000 of each bird in existence left due to over populations and the mating styles of each.
The only rare animal i can think of is a normal Bearded dragon. turns out thier bread so much in captivity to gain certain color combos, that now, a normal simple colored one is hard to find. It's bred to be pretty.
sucking birds??
