@Xoriat I just image searched your thing (yes, i admit, i cheated) and spat my tea back into its cup @Luthyx I remember seeing these at a farm when I was in primary school : Jacob sheep can have 1-3 pairs of horns, the rarer ones having three pairs! they are endangered I think so there are breeding programs working towards the conservation of this species... it was more common around medieval times!

I have no idea how well known Black Crowned Night Herons are, but here: [img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d0/Black_Crowned_Night_Heron_(5770945257).jpg[/img] I've only ever seen one once.

Okapi! :D They're delightful oddballs. [img]https://www.stlzoo.org/files/1213/7641/9982/Okapi-calf-Umeme3_Kim-Downey-Saint-Louis-Zoo_8-8-13_web.jpg[/img] Also, the gaboon viper. They're so fantastic at camouflage that people usually get bit by stepping on them, since they didn't even know they were there.

@Sai
To be honest I posted it as a joke as it is actually an uncommonly-known animal, I am not sure if I can actually name it here as some might consider it offensive. If you want the actual name just copy the URL of the picture and paste it onto google, its Wikipedia page should be one of the first few things that shows up.

I feel like I should mention Yellow-Rumped Warblers. Some people call them Butter Butt Birds, or so I've heard. [img]http://www.tringa.org/images/8951_Yellow-rumped_Warbler_05-05-2012_2.jpg[/img]
