more weird creatures...
Lake Titicaca Frog.. the folds of the skin is an adaptation to the world's highest lake.. oxygen levels are low there.. so as an amphibian, it evolved lots of skin as amphibians also breathe through their skin... more skin, more oxygen
Babirusa.. pinkybear has posted this.. however, if you think of what it is like, you'll think it's weird... those middle two tusks? they pierce through the upper jaw of the pig! when a boar is a piglet, it doesn't have those tusks.. sows don't either... after a while, the tusks grow through the snout... there have been skulls of babirusa found where the tusks have grown and pierced through the head and into the brain cavity!
