6 Animals you may never knew existed. (photos)

Most of us don’t grasp the variety of animals species that inhabit the Earth today, and some even get surprised as they find out there’s an animal they haven’t heard of before. But seriously now – out of 1,367,555 identified non-insect animal species that live on Earth today, how do you expect to know every single one of them? To put it into perspective, take into account that this number represents only 1% of all animal species that ever lived!

Scientists themselves keep discovering new species every year and admit that modern science is not familiar with all existing animals. This leaves room to such unique and even bizarre discoveries and collected in this post! See!!

5 AMAZING AND POSITIVE FACTS ABOUT VULTURES THAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW

Vultures are a bird species that doesn't strike most people well at all. Bald, dirty, dead flesh eaters etc. And in some African countries its a bad luck bird.
But this article is meant to bring out some bright positive side of the bird. Let's see.



1. Highest flyers
The highest bird flight ever recorded was by a
Ruppell's vulture which impacted an aircraft at 37,000ft over the Ivory Coast in 1973. This is well above the height of Everest (29,029 ft) and the lack of oxygen would kill most other birds.
"Since then studies on this vulture revealed a
number of features in their haemoglobin and a
number of cardio-vascular adaptations that allow breathing in rarefied atmosphere. Vultures routinely soar high in the air, using thermals to get a wide view of the plains so they can find food.
