This document discusses three unusual animals: the barrel-eye fish, ocelot, and rainbow glow jellyfish. The barrel-eye fish has a transparent head allowing its brain to be seen and eyes adapted to see in total darkness. The ocelot is a small leopard-like cat twice the size of a housecat that eats small animals. The rainbow glow jellyfish has colorful tentacles that reflect light but do not emit it themselves and was discovered by Lisa Gershwin.
2. Barrel Eye Fish
The barrel eye fish is one of the coolest animals
you are likely to encounter. It has many
amazing and weird traits !!!! The weirdest one
is by far the transparent head which means
that you can look inside its brain!!! The
species’ scientific name is Macropinna
microstoma. This bizarre fish is highly
adapted to living life in the pitch- black
enviroment it inhabits!!!! The eyes are
specially developed so they can see their food
when it is over there head!!! What a unique
animal!! I really love it.
3. Ocelot
The cute cat depicted on the background is
an ocelot, in case you wonder, it’s
pronounced ocalot. It is also known as the
dwarf leopard. Scientifically known as
Leopardus pardalis, this cute creature has
twice the size of your average house-cat.
Some of the animal it eats include rabbits,
rodents, iguanas, fish, and frogs. As you can
see, it is a strict carnivore which means that
it eats exclusively meat. FUN FACT - There
was one ocelot that escaped from a
California zoo. It traveled the whole United
States, except Texas. Until it finally settled
