Their existence is difficult to explain by evolution.
You are not even aware of the fact that humankind shares the planet with the mass of absolutely living relics whose origins date back hundreds of millions of years ago. Scientists scratching their heads over the vagaries of evolution — in fact, it is not very clear why in these particular cases, the types do not develop, and if frozen in its unaltered state. Maybe they are the crown of evolution.
Shark-Goblin
Fortunately, the meeting with that shark not threaten even the most daring divers. Sharks-goblins live on a very great depth, attacking prey retractable (think “Alien”) jaw.
Echidna
One hundred and fifty million years — at this age decent animals already extinct hurl. But not echidna, the body which looks the most unsuitable to the harsh reality of our days.
Tihohodka
Scientists call animals of perfect creatures: for hundreds of millions of years of evolution these microscopic creation has not changed at all — still withstand all conditions, from extreme temperatures to radiation. Space? In space tardigrades feel great.
Elegancki skridagamin
That’s a mouthful. It is the world’s largest Salamander appeared on the planet 170 million years ago.
The mantis shrimp
Short-sighted aquarists often get into the trap of putting this cancer into the aquarium. Their claws, the mantis shrimp is capable of inflicting incredibly powerful blows that can not withstand even the thick glass.
The capybara
Contrary to popular belief, the capybara is not so rare animal. In South America rodent is found on the shores of many ponds. Moreover, capybaras are often taken in as a pet and have no idea what brought animal with a pedigree in 9 million years.
Okapi
But the Okapi is not so rosy as the capybaras. Last of the species (less than 10 thousand individuals) settled in the Congo — not the most safe area of our planet.
Nautilus
The clams appeared 500 million years ago in the Paleozoic era. Then evolution decided that I did everything possible: these days, the Nautilus looks exactly the same, and the way of life is the same as its ancestors.
Hell of a vampire
It is unclear why the researchers decided to give this a harmless relative of the squid such a cruel nickname. Hell of a vampire grows only 15 inches long and feeds on plankton.
Purple frog
All my life purple frog spends deep in mud. She appeared 130 million years ago, but scientists discovered it only in 2003 — guess where? Correctly, under a thick layer of slime.
