Awesome animals

I recently stumbled across a little article on MSN Environment about some very cute, and some very bizarre animals. Had to share.

The Leafy Sea Dragon



Any animal with the suffix 'dragon' is immediately cool, but this one looks like it came out of a computer game. I was, however, disappointed to find that the male of the species is the one that looks after the kids. I bet they don't even breathe fire.

The Star Nosed Mole


A cross between a mole and a sea-monster. Awesome. More here.
