Top 5 World’s Weirdest Animals!
1. Armadillo – Armadillos are probably one of the weirdest lookin’ animals in the world. You might remember the aliens from the movie “The Fifth Element” was very similar to these armadillos. (at least I thought so…) These animals primarily live in Texas in the US and can curl up into a ball.

2. Tamarin – Tamarins are super, cute and furry animals. I have seen them at my local SF Zoo, they are the size of your hands. Plus, the male will carry the baby tamarins if the female gets tired. Very cute animals. (and yes, weird too) These animals mainly live in Central America and South America.

3. Flamingos – Okay, call me dumb but I didn’t realize Flamingos really existed until I saw one at the zoo couple months ago. The first time I heard of a pink flamingo was at the Reno Flamingo Hotel, their logo was a pink flamingo. Still, these are the coolest/weirdest “pink”animals on earth. (Of course, there’s pink dolphins too but…)

4. Tarantulas – These are probably the “biggest” spiders on earth today, most of them the size of you hand. (at least) Contrary to what most people think, tarantulas are not poisonous as they think, it may cause some stings but unlike black widows or hobo spider bites. I know a lot of my friends have them as pets, I think they can be great pets.
5. Sonoran Desert Toad (Bufo Alvarius Toad) and Colorado River Toads – These toads are famous to drug users for their “LSD” effect. (by licking on the back of the toad) Their backs exude poison that has similar ingredients to LSD. Here’s interesting info on that:
Sonoran Desert Toad toxin is not just toxic, it is also hallucinogenic and contains large amounts of the potent hallucinogen 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyl-tryptamine (5-MeO-DMT). Since their toxin is poisonous to humans if ingested (which includes toad licking), psychedelic drug users will milk the toads’ poison glands, dry the toxin, and then smoke tiny amounts of it, which supposedly makes it less toxic.
According to some toad-lickers in Florida:
LSD just doesn’t give as intense hallucinations as toad licking. PETA can take my toad away when they tear it from my cold dead lips.

I think it’s a bad idea to be hallucinated on things, especially if you have to lick a toad so, just be careful out there. (even more info on these hallucigenic toads and the law)
