				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">India is home to around 12% of species in the world even though it accounts for less than 7% of the globe&#8217;s geographical area. But only 30% of the species in the Indian wild is known to science because of inaccessibility of rich bio-diverse area. Construction of new roads in Mishi hills in Arunachal led to re-discovery of a wrabler. A guest house deep inside Western Ghats led to re-discovery of a group of amphibians after 100 years.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People would automatically steer clear if they saw a bear or a lion or a snake or other known dangerous animals. We are mostly afraid of big animals because we have this connotation that the bigger they get, the deadlier they are. Little do we know that there are cute tiny creatures that bring more danger than big ones.</p>
<p><strong>10.  Sonoran coral snake</strong></p>
<p>Their venom is known to be a powerful neurotoxin capable of paralysing the central nervous system. Luckily, they prefer their own kind for meals but do not take your chance. Get away from it as soon as you see one. These snakes can be found in the Southern part ofthe US, and the Mexican deserts.</p>
<p><strong>9. Blue ringed octopus</strong></p>
<p>This tiny creature measuring four inches looks cute when it is frightened because blue rings appear on its body that brightens up it yellow or brown colour. Do not attempt to touch it no matter how tempting because its incurable venom is toxic enough to kill 26 humans in just a few minutes. You still want to play it?</p>
<p><strong>8. Brazilian wandering spider</strong></p>
<p>Also known as the banana spider for hiding between bunches of bananas, this species is recognized last 2007to have the most frightening venom in the world. It only takes an hour for its victim to die after being bitten by it.</p>
<p><strong>7. Deathstalker scorpion</strong></p>
<p>They may have a small pincer but the venom that it releases can cause convulsions, fever, paralysis and eventually death. It normally measures two inches but some grows to be as big as four inches and are mostly found in the dry desert habitats of Africa and Asia.</p>
<p><strong>6. Tarantula hawk</strong></p>
<p>This is actually a type of wasp that hunts tarantula spiders to paralyse where they will lay their eggs. Be wary of their sting though because it has the reputation of being the second most painful in all the animal kingdom. When your friend complains about her heartache, tell her how much painful it is to be stung by tarantula hawks. She should feel better after hearing that.</p>
<p><strong>5. Giant Japanese hornet</strong></p>
<p>This species is responsible for the death of 20 to 40 people in Japan every year. This two-inch hornet is capable of dissolving your tissues while attacking the nervous system. Its venom will enter your body through a stinger that measures ¼ inch.</p>
<div id="attachment_24306" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Irukandji-jellyfish.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-24306" alt="Irukandji jellyfish Top 10 Poisonous yet Tiny Animals that can Kill You" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Irukandji-jellyfish.jpg" width="300" height="285" title="Top 10 Poisonous yet Tiny Animals that can Kill You" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Irukandji Jellyfish</p></div>
<p><strong>4. Poison dart frogs</strong></p>
<p>Who would think that a frog has enough venom to kill ten people? Well, the golden poison dart frogs can put you to eternal rest once you mess with it.</p>
<p><strong>3. Cone snails</strong></p>
<p>They use their harpoon to inject their venom to their preys but they can only use their harpoon once. Sounds like a good news to you? Do not rejoice because they only need to sting a human once to deliver the final blow. Your survival rate is reduced to 30% after being injected with its venom.</p>
<p><strong>2. Harvester ant</strong></p>
<p>The toxic venom of a single ant from this species is not enough to kill a human but you will receive a significant damage and even death once they started to flock and bite you.</p>
<p><strong>1. Irukandji Jellyfish</strong></p>
<p>The Australian waters serve as home to this deadly creature with a venom that is 1,000 times more powerful than a tarantula and 100 times greater than that of a cobra. And oh, it is less than one inch.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you have a new pet at home you have to make a lot of changes to help the people and the pet to adjust to the new place. Here are some tips that will help you blend your new dog to your family.</p>
<p><strong>10. Identification collar</strong>: As soon as you get the dog, get a collar and put your cell number or your home address on the collar in case your dog gets lost. It will help your pet find a home if found by someone. Since the dog will be new, the people in your neighborhood won’t even recognize it.</p>
<p><strong>9. Food</strong>: Don’t feed your dog with new food all of a sudden. It will mess up its metabolism. Feed the dog what it was fed in the shelter and gradually change the food. Giving new food will disturb its stomach and you won’t like it.</p>
<p><strong>8. Acquaint your dog with new places</strong>: Take your dog for a walk and make sure you treat it when you pass by a park or a school or when you meet  a stranger. This way your dog will be conditioned to behave when encounter people or such places.</p>

<p><strong>7. Make a schedule</strong>: Make a proper schedule for your dog; what and how much meal it needs to take and at what time, what time you are supposed to take it out for a walk. And of course take some time out to play with your dog.</p>
<p><strong>6. Make proper bed</strong>: Set a crate or make a separate bed for your dog with stuffed toys and stuff for your dog to chew. Otherwise you will end up looking for your shoes and your couch edges gone.</p>
<p><strong>5. Involve all family members</strong>: Make sure every family member is taking equal care of the dog. Feeding, and taking it for a walk will strengthen relationship between your dog and the family. Caring for the dog will build bonds between the dog and your family.</p>
<p><strong>4. Train your dog</strong>: Teach your dog to sit and stay, and feed it some good manner. While training treats it for good behavior. Don’t assume that they will learn on the way, you have to give considerable amount of time behaving our dog.</p>
<p><strong>3. Provide new things</strong>: Buy new stuff for your dog and don’t let it use the toys on your cat and the stuff lying around in your home. Buy it new bed and toy. The dog will not hesitate to take toys of your neighbor dog.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Albinism is commonly known as achromia, achromasia, or achromatosis is a condition which affects several parts of the body including the eyes, skin and the hair. It is known to affect all the vertebrates and humans are the worst sufferers. The ocular albinism affects the eyes and other affects skin and hair. This may lead to cancer as well. Albinism is a condition where the creature lacks the sufficient amount of melanin, a pigment know to make the skin darker.  Thus the creatures lacks&#8217; the hue and color. If you think which the other creatures that suffer from albinism are, hold on! Here are the top 10 animals that suffer from albinism.</p>
<p><b>10. Albino Manta rays.</b></p>
<p>Manta rays are the sea creatures which are often referred as the living carpets of the sea. These creatures are not visible with naked eyes until and unless you step on them accidentally.  This helps them to hide from the predators under the sand. Thus it helps them to stay away f from the prey. It has proved to be a boon for the Manta rays.</p>
<p><b>9. Hummingbird</b></p>
<p>Hummingbirds are the smallest known bird. They have bright feathers and the tongues are very sharp. Albino humming birds are rare, but they do exist.</p>
<div id="attachment_24084" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hummingbird-white-animals-570x456.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-24084" alt="hummingbird white animals 570x456 300x240 Top 10 Albino Animals" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hummingbird-white-animals-570x456-300x240.jpg" width="300" height="240" title="Top 10 Albino Animals" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Albino Humming Bird</p></div>
<p><b>8. Albino Cobra</b></p>
<p>Cobra is one of the nature’s predators. Can you imagine what will happen if they blend with the environment. Albino cobras are found but they are also rare.</p>
<p><b>7. Albino Chameleon</b></p>
<p>The chameleon has the best ability to hunt their prey by changing color. Albino chameleon doesn’t have the ability to change color. And it&#8217;s sad! This is the only ability for which they are known and now they suck at it.</p>
<p><b>6. Albino Skunk</b></p>
<p>The skunk’s white stripe keeps people away from them as they smell worse that the sewage. The entire white skunk is like the petite ninja with the trade mark of discoloration. They are cute. They are the cute cat like creatures.</p>
<div id="attachment_24085" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/skunk-white-animals-570x392.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-24085" alt="skunk white animals 570x392 300x206 Top 10 Albino Animals" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/skunk-white-animals-570x392-300x206.jpg" width="300" height="206" title="Top 10 Albino Animals" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Shunk</p></div>
<p><b>5. Albino Leopard</b></p>
<p>They are rare and fine. They are the most commonly found albino cats that are big.  One of the albino leopards was found in the UK.</p>
<p><b>4. Albino Koala</b></p>
<p>Koalas are known to eat and sleep for the whole day.  It is reported that albino koala exists. In the San Diego zoo, their lives an albino Koala name Onya-Biri.</p>
<p><b>3. Albino Bat</b></p>
<p>The nocturnal creatures are active in the night. Imagine how an albino bat will look. Such creatures exist in reality.</p>
<p><b>2. Albino Snail</b></p>
<p>When it rains, you can smell the snail and it’s slimy. Everyone hates snail and wants to get rid of it. In New Zealand albino snails are found which are white.</p>
<p><b>1. Albino Humans</b></p>
<p>Human beings are the most common creatures to be affected by albinism. This is a condition when the skin pigments and vision are greatly affected as the melanin pigment is found in fewer amounts or not found. Such is the case when there is a genetic defect and the gene transfers from the parents.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You will find a lot of species of birds that are flightless but a few of them are spectacular. These poor birds cannot fly so they are vulnerable to get harmed and hurt. Yet they are unique in their own way. Here is a list of the top ten wonderful flightless birds.</p>
<p><b>10. Takahe Bird</b> : found in the southern part of the Hemisphere  mostly in New Zealand, they are considered as one of the most endangered species among other flightless birds. They are found mostly in the beautiful region of Lake Te Anau in the mountainous stretch of Murchison. The flightless bird is just 63cm in length with sturdy legs and reduced wings and huge bill. It is reported that just 225 birds of this species are alive as they have a slow fertility and maturity.</p>

Among them , the Emperor Pengiune is the smallest one.</p>
<div id="attachment_23867" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/3-kiwi_1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-23867" alt="3 kiwi 1 300x225 Top 10 Smallest Flightless Birds" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/3-kiwi_1-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" title="Top 10 Smallest Flightless Birds" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">KIWI</p></div>
<p><b>8. Kiwi</b> : Endemic to New Zealand , the Kiwi is the national bird of the country. The flightless bird is one of the smallest one among all the rare species.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You might not know of too many weird land animals because land is where we live and spend almost all of our lives and so the creatures that we see every day do not seem weird to us. There is a whole different world underwater, however. You would have a hard time trying to figure out whether the creatures mentioned below are native to Earth or are from another planet.</p>
<p><strong>10. Blobfish</strong></p>
<p>This fish (if it in fact can be called a fish) is quite possible the laziest sea creature in existence and all it does is sit there. If anything worth eating passes by, it will make an effort to eat it up. By taking a look at this animal, one can’t but think about one’s own intake of carbohydrates.</p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/blobfish.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-23822" alt="blobfish 300x192 Top 10 Weirdest Sea Animals" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/blobfish-300x192.jpg" width="300" height="192" title="Top 10 Weirdest Sea Animals" /></a></p>
<p><strong>9. Axolotl</strong></p>
<p>This looks like one of those cute little anime pets that you see at the back of Pokemon cards. What is really weird about axolotls is its ability to regenerate any limbs that have been lost.</p>
<p><strong>8. Frilled Shark</strong></p>
<p>The name itself reminds you of the shark from a Disney movie. This shark wags its tail just the way Pluto does and judging by its looks, it is not your everyday shark that you are used to seeing in movies.</p>
<p><strong>7. Anglerfish</strong></p>
<p>The anglerfish is a very ugly species of fish and it has pointy teeth. It is usually found at the very bottom near the floor of the ocean. You do not even want to get started about its mating habits.</p>
<p><strong>6. Loch Ness Monster</strong></p>
<p>Monsters are classified as imaginary creatures but the Loch Ness just might be an exception. It has not yet been dismissed by the scientific community as a hoax simply because of the amount of images and videos that people have been able to bring back from the waters around Scotland.</p>
<p><strong>5. Dana Octopus Squid</strong></p>
<p>This squid has an odd way of capturing and eating its prey. What it does is that it gives out a flash of light to blind its prey. The prey loses its way and the squid takes advantage of that and eats it up.</p>
<p><strong>4. Leafy Sea Dragon</strong></p>
<p>This is one of the few creatures of the sea that is capable of camouflaging itself. Its fins are shaped live leaves and so it is quite hard to spot this guy from a distance making it look like it is just a chunk of seaweed that is swimming along.</p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/leafy-sea-dragon.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-23823" alt="leafy sea dragon 300x192 Top 10 Weirdest Sea Animals" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/leafy-sea-dragon-300x192.jpg" width="300" height="192" title="Top 10 Weirdest Sea Animals" /></a></p>
<p><strong>3. Longhorn Cowfish</strong></p>
<p>It looks somewhat like a hovercraft when it is in motion and make a very distinct grunting sound when it is captured. So the next time you take a bite in your cheeseburger, remember to listen carefully.</p>
<p><strong>2. Viperfish</strong></p>
<p>Think of a baseball bat that has a head of predator. Add a few scales and teeth as gnarly as they can get. In fact, the teeth of a viperfish are so large, they don’t even fit in its mouth.</p>
<p><strong>1. Vampire Squid</strong></p>
<p>This squid has a cape that is made of arms which are connected by black webbing. The webbing helps the vampire squid propel through the water and fly like a bat. It has the ability to hypnotize its prey using the “photophores” on its arms.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Though calm and beautiful they appear, some animals are unexpectedly dangerous in nature. Here is a list of unexpected human killers.</p>
<p><strong>10. Asian carp</strong>:  weighting to a hundred pound and reaching a length of 1.2 meters, this fish is found to be more dangerous than they look. A lot of injuries have been recorded by boat operators and sailors by jumping of the fish out of water and hurting people.</p>
<p><strong>9. Sea lions</strong>: This large marine mammal is more deadly than sharks in the Pacific region. Male sea lions are more furious and terrestrial than their female counterparts and happened to attack a lot of summers. Their friendly nature shown in circus may deceive you when you meet a wild sea lion.</p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/download13.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23801" alt="download13 Top 10 Unexpected Human Killers" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/download13.jpg" width="281" height="179" title="Top 10 Unexpected Human Killers" /></a></p>
<p><strong>8. Irukandji</strong>: The tiny killer floats in the water and carries more venom than a cobra. Sometimes it’s not the ferocity that makes an animal dangerous but its vagueness. Irukandji is nearly invisible in water and swimmers encountering this tiny creature have recorded to be hospitalized.</p>
<p><strong>7. Giant Anteater</strong>: These creatures can be dangerous when approached by humans. With their knife like claw and strong arms, they rip the attacker when wild. They can grow up to six feet in length and are found in South American grasslands.</p>
<p><strong>6. Owl</strong>: Horned owl is believed to be ferocious when approaching its nest or when tempered. With its bent beak it pokes skull of the attacker. With the distinct quality of preying on animals three times bigger than its size, horned owl is commonly known as “flying tiger”.</p>
<p><strong>5. Coyote</strong>: Coyote attacks have been recorded in human and especially on children recently. This five foot length weighing seventy pound creature leaps a long distance in once bounce. The injuries resulted from the attack are however not fatal.</p>
<p><strong>4. Wolverine</strong>: Isolated and roam usually in northern regions, few attacks on humans have been recorded however the attacks of this solitary dog sized animals are fatal. Wolverine is a member of the weasel family with some special features of great speed and adaptation to the environment.</p>
<p><strong>3. Orca</strong>: Well known as Killer Whale, the Orcas is considered to be more ferocious marine mammals. The famous kills of orca are sharks, whales and seals. Scientists that orcas don’t harm humans but few terrifying attacks have been recorded in the past by these creatures. The less frequent attacks may be due to less interaction with human beings.</p>
<p><strong>2. Spitting Cobra</strong>: The spitting cobras have a special aperture in their mouth that allows them to spit venom at a length of their size. The nine footspider can spit venom at around eight feet directly to the eyes of the prey. If not medically treated quickly, the venom can dissolve the eyes.</p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/download-23.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23800" alt="download 23 Top 10 Unexpected Human Killers" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/download-23.jpg" width="251" height="201" title="Top 10 Unexpected Human Killers" /></a></p>
<p><strong>1. Seal</strong>: When it comes to attacking human, the seal is not something one can miss. Found in Antarctica, the leopard seals are serpent like creatures that can chase its prey with incredible speed and cut with enormous canine teeth. Records of humans hunted by seals on land are found.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Human life span has been increased due to increase in medical advancements, but animals have an incredible long life without any efforts.</p>
<p><strong>10. Jellyfish</strong>:  A kind of jellyfish Turritopsis Nutricula, is almost immortal. A newborn is about 1mm with 8 tentacles whereas an adult is around 5 meters long with 90 tentacles. This particular jellyfish reverts back to sexually immaturity. Meaning those 40 years old can turn back to a baby and reproduce again!</p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/images1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23733" alt="images1 Top 10 Animals with Unbelievably Long Lives" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/images1.jpg" width="259" height="194" title="Top 10 Animals with Unbelievably Long Lives" /></a></p>
<p><strong>9. Antarctic Sponge</strong>: Sponges are animals with very little movement seen during their life. Their growth is dreadfully slow. There are around 20 species of sponge with age ranging into 20 years. On the other hand, a specimen of Antarctic Sponge is believed to live around 1500 years old.</p>
<p><strong>8. Ocean Quahog</strong>:  A very calm being found usually on coasts. They bury themselves along the coast and comes out once in a while to get food and oxygen.  They live under the seabed buried deep too, breathing and eating through gills, to avoid predators. These animals usually live up to 400 years.</p>
<p><strong>7. Tortoise</strong>: These animals are famous for their long life. The longevity of life depends on the health and the type of tortoise. A healthy tortoise can live up to 150 years. Adwaita, a pet tortoise of a British general, is believed to live a life of 250 years.</p>
