Our world is a peculiar place. Humanity has been around for millennia, and yet we still know so little about what surrounds us. What we do know, however, is that there are lots of weird animals in the world, who look so strange that even the scientists are stumped. Today, we will tell you about ten especially odd animals and their homes. Join us on this exciting adventure! We wanted to start off our list with this truly bizarre creature. The batfish perpetually looks like it is wearing bold lipstick, and we are here for it. Even though it is technically a fish, it is actually a very poor swimmer. Instead of swimming, it uses its fins to ‘walk’ on the sea bottom.

Unlike other animals with distinct features, this one does not seem to be using it to its advantage. Now, you might be thinking that Red-lipped and Rosy-lipped...

When it was predicted some years back that cars will run on water, many people thought the speaker is crazy. 3D printing has just allowed a car company (XEV) and a printing company (polymaker) to manufacture an electric car, LSEV, for $7,500 USD that is 2.7million naira. By 3D printing the city-ready vehicle, XEV and polymaker have knocked the number of individual plastic components down from the typically-used 2,000 to, oh, 57 parts — excluding mirrors, lights, chassis and such. ‘XEV is the first real mass production project using 3D printing. by saying really, I mean there are also lots of other companies using 3D printing for production. but nothing can really compare with XEV in terms of the size, the scale, and the intensity,’ said, Dr. Luo Xiaofan, co-founder, and CEO of polymaker. The transportation industry is certainly in a state of disruption. amidst this disruption — LSEV is an affordable solution for city drivers. its top speed is 43 miles per hour. It covers a range...
