Hey guys, I’m gonna be going on a bit of a long hiatus. I’m preparing for a big move, combined with starting school, and I need some time to focus both on that and my mental health. I’ll come back soon in full swing with some fun new posts, take care ❤️
Today’s obscure animal of the day is the Fiji banded iguana! These lovely lizards are found in moist forests throughout Oceania. The males have the namesake banded pattern, and attract females by bobbing their head up and down while sticking out their tongue.
Today’s obscure animal of the day is the northern greater galago! These precious primates are found in the highland forests of Kenya, Tanzania, and Somalia. They’re mainly nocturnal, and fruit makes up a majority of their diet. Like other galagos, they hop from tree to tree.
Today’s obscure animal of the day is the green crowned plovercrest! These handsome hummingbirds are found in various forests in eastern Brazil. While they often feed on nectar, they’ll also occassionaly catch insects. Females build their nests with spiderwebs and plant materials.
Today’s obscure animal of the day is the Gee's golden langur! These funky monkeys are found in a small, 12,000 square mile area of Western Assam, India. They live in high trees and feed on a variety of fruits, leaves, flowers, and seeds.
Today’s obscure animal of the day is the scaly sided merganser! These darling diving ducks are sparsely found in various rivers throughout northeast Asia. They're often spotted preening and gathering on riverbanks around noon, after foraging for most of the day.
Sorry, no obscure animal post today. Thought I had it saved and scheduled but it seems Twitter had other plans. 🙃 Here’s a playful painted dog to make up for it.
Today’s obscure animal of the day is the vicuna! These cool camelids are found throughout the Andes. Vicunas have had quite a population comeback, with only 6,000 remaining in the 1960s, but thanks to vigorous conservation efforts, there's now more than 350,000 in the wild!
cw: insects// Today’s obscure animal of the day is the tarantula hawk wasp! These wonderful wasps are found throughout the world, primarily in deserts. They're named for how the females will hunt tarantulas for their larvae to feed on. Despite that, they mainly eat nectar.
Today’s obscure animal of the day is the marsh deer! These delightful deer are found throughout the marshes and lagoons of central South America. They’re well adapted to watery environments, being strong swimmers and having webbing between their hooves.
Today’s obscure animal of the day is the ploughshare tortoise! These terrific tortoises are sparsely found in the Baly Bay region of Madagascar. They typically live in dry forests, feeding on grasses, herbs, and dead bamboo. Males are known for their aggression towards each other
Today’s obscure animal of the day is the chestnut backed thrush! These terrific thrushes are found in the montane forests of a few select islands in southeast Asia. They’re fairly solitary, but small groups may gather to forage for food on the ground.
Sorry, no post today, had some technical difficulties. Posts will resume normally tomorrow!
Today’s obscure animal of the day is the milky stork! These stunning storks are found in mangrove swamps throughout Southeast Asia. They feed on a variety of fish as well as invertebrates, and have somewhat of a preference for eating mudskippers.
Today’s obscure animal of the day is the Allen's swamp monkey! These funky monkeys are found in the lowland swamp forests of the Congo basin. While they do spend a good amount of time in trees, they often forage for fish, snails, and shrimp in shallow water.
Today’s obscure animal of the day is the pygmy hog! These petite pigs were once found in grassy areas near the Himalayas, but now can only be found in the Manas National Park. They're the smallest species of pig, only weighing in at about 15-21 lbs and measuring 7.9-9.8 in tall.
Today’s obscure animal of the day is the pom pom crab! These cute crustaceans are found in the shallower areas of the Indo-Pacific. They often hold anemones in their claws, using them both to find food and defend themselves from various predators.
Obscure animal posts will continue tomorrow!

@obscure_otd It wasn’t letting me dm my submission due to not being verified, but I thought I’d just try through comments ^^ One of my favorite obscure animals is the ghost shark! They are also called spookfish, ratfishes, or rabbitfishes! Look at these little dudes!
these little guys are our primate cousins, look at their weird grabbers
Today’s obscure animal of the day is the northern greater galago! These precious primates are found in the highland forests of Kenya, Tanzania, and Somalia. They’re mainly nocturnal, and fruit makes up a majority of their diet. Like other galagos, they hop from tree to tree.
This animal is so creacher to me

@obscure_otd They look like the Tooth Fairy in Rise of the Guardians! I love them, they are very cute
they have the biggest brain to body ratio and their brain makes up 4.2% of their body weight, and they weigh the same amount as a golf ball aka about an ounce, there is also 309 species of hummingbird and they’re all adorable and amazing and i’ve had multiple perch on my hand
they also sometimes make nests out of spiderwebs to help the nest stretch with the growth of their babies! their eggs are about the size of a pea, and baby hummingbirds aren’t born with long beaks but rather they grow in length as they age!
my favorite hummingbirds are the giant hummingbird, the sicklebilled hummingbird, broad billed hummingbird and the costa hummingbird! another fun fact is that they’re extremely territorial, and the females are typically bigger then the males
did y’all know that the closest relative of common swifts (which are amazing in their own right) is the hummingbird? and that hummingbirds typically have beautiful mating rituals, and the smallest bird in the world is the bee hummingbird? i love hummingbirds sm…
