Animals, big or small, are all treasures. They all play a part in our world, but sometimes, something happens that makes an animal uniquely beautiful.

From a “heart” shaped birthmark to eyes that resemble the galaxy, these animals may be unique, but they are all beautiful.

Take a look at these 49 amazing photos of elusive animals that will make you appreciate the power and beauty that nature gives us.

1) Zebra-horse hybrid

According to the original post:

“Eclyse was born from a female Chapmann’s Zebra and a male horse. She was not deliberately bred – Her mother, Eclipse, was visiting a ranch in Italy when she hooked up with a male horse named Ulysses. The coloring is abnormal for zebra-horse hybrids, but is completely natural.”

This cat’s name is Yoda. He has four ears, or is it two ears and two horns? There’s something malicious about them but the faraway look in his eyes make him look like he’s being controlled by another force.

This cat has an extremely long tail. It must be hard to sleep with such a long one but it’s probably lots of fun to taunt to dog with it too. Cats are beasts, they can make anything an advantage.

This tiny leopard is known as a Bengal, a intelligent cat with a lot of energy. Most people will never be able to afford one and thus will never see one in person. But this little guy is here so you can dream.

19) Does he have a better sense of smell?

This dog has a split nose which makes it look really big and almost as if he has two noses. It’s strange and doesn’t seem safe either, but he probably has a good vet. I’d name him Eight.

24) Looks almost mythical

This is a Mexican Mole Lizard and it is so rare that it’s almost mythical. As you can see, he has two little legs, so I guess if he were a snake then he would have knees. Which is why they call him a lizard.

Thsi dog has a star on his chest which means all he has to do is post a few photos on Instagram and he’ll make the big bucks. After all, having a natural star on your chest makes you a star.

30) We come in peace

This is an argonaut. It’s a tiny octopus with a shell that he can recede into. Though he usually prefers to wear it as a hat because it looks super fly and out of this world. For real, he’s probably an alien.

33) It’s a color mutation

To be fair, it’s actually an Orchid Mantis from Malaysia, which is such a cool name that we couldn’t even make it up. Although it looks like a mutated mantis, ready to prey on her fiance.

38) The velveteen rabbit

This rabbit isn’t just soft but he has Dumbo ears. If his name isn’t Dumbo then they are doing it wrong because it should be. I’d sing Baby Mine to it every night as we cuddle. Anyone else?

This chicken is so special that you’ll never find another one even close to her. She’s converted in hundreds of tiny hearts. Makes you wonder if she also lays heart-shaped eggs. Or maybe golden ones.

This pup is either Marilyn Manson’s or it’s a Yakut Laika confused for a Husky. While it does look like a Husky, it’s more than likely a Yakut Laika with unique markings. Bet you’ve never met a Yakut.
