21 Confusing New Creatures

From The Okapi to Big Foot

— September 12, 2008 — Lifestyle
Forest Giraffe? Unicorn? Nope, the Okapi is the latest viral animal species to reach fame status online.

Earlier this summer it was the blood-sucking Chupacabra, then it was Big Foot, and soon after, cats with four ears and a cat with wings. The Okapi is only the latest fascination.

Check out this cluster of some of the strange animals, genetically modified creatures and organic wonders that have left Trend Hunter readers fascinated. The gallery also includes fake taxidermal creations and new species created in photoshop.
