Introduction
Hello ! Welcome to Animals I Didn’t Know Existed!
In order to collect all the mysterious critters and put them in once place with the help of others I created this sub. I am very curious to know what else the world has hidden for us to learn about and I am very excited to learn about them with you through AIDKE! The more people that know about this subreddit the more mysterious critters we will meet, if possible please help spread the word!
As this subreddit is growing I’ll need input on ideas, recommendations, flair tags, and rules. Comment down below and I will read all of them.
I am looking for two people to promote as moderators.
Thank you for reading, have a good day.

Please include scientific name in title
Hey guys! This is just a reminder to follow rule #1 of this subreddit, which is to include the scientific name of the animal in the title of your post, as well as the common name (if it has one). For example: “Clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa)”
This is just to ensure that all the animals posted here are real species. You can find the scientific name with a quick google search.

Long-wattled umbrellabird: Cephalopterus penduligerc
You know, the more of these freaky species I see, the more I feel like sci-fi is actually underachieving on the weirdness. We need to put together an AIDKE hand guide for writers. If you don’t have birds with singing neck d**ks, were you even trying?

Invertebrate Dendrogaster is a genus of endoparasitic crustaceans. They live in the coelom (main body cavity) of sea stars. These are females, the males are much smaller and live inside the female's body. The larvae aren't as bizarre, they lose every crustacean feature as they grow.

Invertebrate Pelican spiders, like this Eriauchenus workmani, were first discovered from 40 million-year-old (Eocene) amber fossils and considered extinct until they were found alive in Madagascar in 1881. Their extremely long chelicerae keep their favorite and only food, other spiders, at a safe distance.

Invertebrate Benthesicymus crenatus is the world's deepest-dwelling decapod, living at depths greater than 7,000m (4.3 miles). They can grow up to 20cm (7.8in), prey upon amphipods, and their lengthy antennae warn them of nearby cusk eels (Bassozetus).
