Can you believe this gorgeous animal actually exists? Neither did we. :) It's a wonderful toy made by Cmwyvern - but can we just dream about it being an actual living creature for a little bit?

1. Venezuelan Poodle Moth

It was only discovered in 2009, and it really does look like a furry poodle!

2. Malayan Colugo

These eyes probably see a lot, and they definitely find everything surprising.

3. Blue Footed Booby

Their turquois legs never fail to catch attention. By the way, these birds have very amusing mating rituals.

4. Raccoon dog

Can't decide whether you want to get a dog or a raccoon? We have just the thing for you!

5. Markhor Goat

It's like he's trying to catch an alien radio signal from space.

6. Fluffy cow

They look like giant plushie toys!

7. Patagonian Mara

A cross between a kangaroo and a hare?

8. Emperor tamarin

Check out the fabulous moustache on this one. Looks a bit like an actual emperor or an old, wise man, huh?

9. Rhinopithecus, or golden snub-nosed monkey

10. Mangalitsa Pig, a.k.a. 'a pig in sheep's clothing'

This wooly pig was discovered in the mid-19th century. Such a shame that it didn't become a common pet like dogs or cats.
