10 Mammals You Never Knew Existed


If you are an avid follower of It’s Nature then you might recognize some of these elusive mammals, however to the everyday public these animals are relatively unknown and are some of the most unique mammals in the natural world. It’s not uncommon to find a new species or sub species of animal, but mammals are one type of animal that don’t crop up very often when it comes to new species. Check out these weird and wonderful creatures below.

10. Hairy Saki

The Hairy Saki also known as the Monk Saki because of its unique pattern of fur is unique to the Amazon and is seldom seen by anyone. These colorful monkeys spend nearly all of their lives up in the trees away from danger and that is actually a good thing because if you came face to face with one you may scare it to death, literally. These fearful monkeys are not seen in captivity because even the slightest bit of panic sends these monkeys into shock which is nearly always fatal.
