You say “never heard of, ” my Animal Planet childhood says “Challenge accepted.”

[SquidwardsGooch]

You've definently seen all of these if you've watched Wild Kratts

[GreyHulk]

Pangolin is just how Benedict Cumberbath says 'penguin'. :P

Okapis are one of those animals I had to learn on my own in high school zoology class, and giving it's report was quite fascinating to explore upon.

A headline like this really brings out both the know-it-alls and the smart-alecs in full force.

was it impossible to get a video or even pictures of the pink fairy armadillo for some reason, are they extinct?

[akainusakazuki]

Why the hell isn't there an electric Pokemon based on the second one?

The only animals I had seen up until now were cats and dogs so I was ready for this video, thanks for uploading!

Who has been living under a rock so long they never heard of an Okapi...?

[fionncameron]

[Dylan-Hooton]

You forgot to include tapirs (my favorite animals) as they aren't well known as well.

[keren.icehand]

First time i heard of a pangolin was on the radio news, and when they said scales my entire family thought it was some kind of fish, lol

[annien.]

I adore pangolins. In fact, I'm planning to make an animated movie about pangolins once I get a job at Disney. I think it's about time that pangolins deserve a spot as protagonists in Disney movies.❤ They deserve to have their story known.

[stevenwhite]

Very good list! 2 of the animals i have never seen thank you watchmojo, longtime subscriber!!

[kjnoodles]

That's not a pangolin it's a sandshrew 😉

[noirangel]

I've heard of all of these animals, including the honorable mentions. I've been an animal fan since I was old enough to read, and I've seen a fair share of crazy animals.

[raeganmcstay]

[therewillbekyle]
