Griffin leafron
This creature refers to bats. The view lives only in some areas of Vietnam. This type of bat was found relatively in recent times. The scientist Donald Gryffin managed to establish that this species is new, not the same as representatives of other bats.
In 2008, in Vietnam, a group of scientists discovered unusual bats with an ugly nose. At first they thought that these were ordinary representatives of bats. Nevertheless, scientists have remained doubts. It was decided to explore this terrible animal. As a result, a new variety of bats was found. Scientists argued that Griffin's leaf -bearing less resists capture than his relatives. As a rule, bats react to a person’s invasion very aggressively.

Naked digger
A disgusting bald creature with no less disgusting teeth has a number of features that make a naked digger with a real find for scientists studying.
The distribution range of a naked digger is Africa. These rodents live in whole colonies. On average, the number of the group reaches 70 individuals. But the case is known when the number of one family was 295 individuals.
The bare diggarts have strict hierarchy. All members of one family are relatives. In the family there is one queen-mother that mates with 2-3 fertile males. Only the queen produces offspring. In relations with males, she has been in years. Other individuals are also capable of breeding, but they do not mate until they live in the family. Naked diggers from the family are extremely rare. All other individuals, except the queen and several males, serve as a working class. They serve offspring, extract food, dig tunnels, and also protect the family from the main enemies - snakes.
If the family is losing the female, other females begin to beat in its place. The strongest wins in this battle. As soon as the female becomes a queen, her size becomes more. The female brings great offspring. The nipples on her body are not enough to feed all the cubs at the same time. Therefore, the cubs expect their turn.
Sinoes live underground, they rarely come out. They feed on the roots and tubers of plants. They don’t drink water, they get drinking with food. Are pests for agricultural crops.
Important: For a long time it was believed that naked diggers never suffer from cancer. However, in 2016, scientists found that these animals are still subject to this disease, but such cases are extremely rare.
Perhaps this feature is the cause of the longevity of diggers. It is amazing that these rodents can live from 28 to 31 years. This is a colossal life span for rodents.
