Weirdest Animals and Others

Find Number One:

"Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum Clock stopped in time"
The Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum is in the city of Nagasaki, Japan. The museum remembers the explosion of the atomic bomb that devastated Nagasaki at 11:02:35am on 9 August 1945.
The first atomic bomb museum was built in 1955 to show the world the horror of the bombing and the need to eliminate all nuclear weapons. The present museum was opened in April 1996 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the bombing.

It had a list of the "25 Weirdest Animals" according to them.

Here are a few of the really cool ones.

The Star-nosed Mole

The Blobfish 
 found in the deep waters off the coasts of Australia and Tasmania
