Strangest Looking Animal. Star-nosed Mole

One of the strangest animals in the world.

Have you ever watched movies related to aliens and monsters? And you keep asking are these animals exist? When I first saw this animal on the Internet, I thought this animal was an alien or so. But when I keep search for other resources, I found that these animal really exist on the earth.

Star-nosed mole, has the best sense of touch of any mammal because of its nose. Its nose is a hairless and is ringed by a unique star of 22 pink, fleshy tentacles. Each 22 the 22 appendages that make up the star is completely covered with tiny papillae known as Eimer’s organs. Each Eimer’s organ contains 3 types of tactile receptors, 2 of which are found in the skin of other mammals.

Its unique nose and unique function are the reasons of why this animal is one of the freakiest.
