Animals With Bizarre Body Proportions

Fiddler crab

Male fiddler crabs have one huge claw, which they use mostly for fighting. It does look like this crab has been exercising just one arm for years, while neglecting every other muscle of his body!

Proboscis monkey

We can't talk about animals with bizarre body proportions without mentioning this primate. Found on the island of Borneo, these monkeys have exceptionally large noses!

Snub-nosed monkey

And if the proboscis monkey has a long nose, the snub-nosed monkey looks like he has no nose at all!

Tarsier

These cute mammals are known for their massive eyes, in comparison to the size of their bodies. Each eyeball can measure approximately 16 mm (0.63 in).

Frog-legged leaf beetle

These insects have really powerful hind legs, which they use as weapons to fight other beetles.

Barnacles

These marine creatures actually have disproportionately large penises, which can measure up to eight times their body length!

Musk deer

Yes, it's a deer with massive fangs! Also known as the saber-toothed deer, this mammal does have really bizarre teeth.

Giraffe weevil

These insects have abnormally long necks. These can be as long as 2.5 cm (1 inch), which is more than their body length. The long necks are used to build nests and fight.
