The World's Most Round Animals
There are many animals in the world that are naturally round.
We may think they are like a small ball and can be used for playing, but actually, their shape ensures their survival in the environment.
Let us look at the round animals that are known for their special shape.
1.Pufferfish
Pufferfish is also called 'blue fish' and is at the top of the list of round animals.Now the question is, why pufferfish is round? This is actually the Blue Fish's defensive style. These fish take such a form to digest from a predator.
Bluefish collect water in their flexible stomachs, making them larger and harder to eat.
These ball-like fish may look cute, but touching them would be a big mistake.
More than 200 species of pufferfish contain a poison called tetrado toxin, which is 1,200 times more dangerous than the toxic substance cyanide. There is enough toxin in one pufferfish to kill 30 adult humans, and there is no known antidote.
Some pufferfish have thorns on their skin that make the food unsuitable to eat. But still, it is a favorite food in some Asian countries.
2.Armadillo
The next round animal is the armadillo. The name is a Spanish word meaning "hard-skinned or armored." The armadillo’s armor works well against most predators, but not against cars. They are also known as the “Hillbilly Speed Bump” for their tendency to get run over by vehicles.There are 21 species of this animal and the smallest of them is the pink armadillo which is only 6 inches or 15 cm long.
They often sleep and spend 16 hours a night sleeping. It would not be wrong to say that these animals carry fashion with them as they have red, yellow, gray, black, and pink varieties.
3.Brown owl
This breed of owl is popular because of its color. This special brown owl belongs to the most common species of owl found in Britain.
They can rotate their soft, round heads at an angle of 270 degrees, which helps them to hunt.
The male owl utters a long "hovo" to call his mate, after which he "ho" again in a low voice and then ends his song on "ho ho ho".
In response, the female, hearing the voice of her mate, says 'Ki Vik' and draws towards him.
4.Hippopotamus
Meet another round and cute animal. This healthy animal is called a 'colored cell'.These aquatic lives prefer to remain alone and come together only for breeding purposes. They can swim in the sea at a speed of about 10 km per hour, but in pursuit of prey, their speed reaches 30 km per hour. Hippos are very rotund animals and are the third-largest living land mammals, after elephants and white rhinos. They grow to between 10.8 and 16.5 feet long and up to 5.2 feet tall at the shoulder. The average female weighs around 1,400 kilograms, while males weigh 1,600 to 4,500 kg, according to the San Diego Zoo.
Ringed cells usually live for 25 to 30 years.
5.Hedgehog
Hedgehogs are famous for their prickly spines, which they have everywhere except on their face, legs, and bellies. These cute critters depend on their spines for defense, both while they sleep and when they face enemies. By curling into a tight ball and tucking in their heads, tail, and legs, they protect vulnerable parts of their body.There are about 15 species of this animal in Europe, Asia, and Africa and they all emerge at night.
6.Harp Seal
Harp seals spend most of their time diving and swimming in the icy waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. These sleek swimmers often hunt for fish and crustaceans at 300 feet (90 meters) and may dive to nearly 1,000 feet (300 meters). They are able to remain submerged for up to 15 minutes.
Older seals return annually to pack ice to molt. They lose their pelts and top layers of skin and grow a new fur coat every year.
Harp seals are sometimes called saddleback seals because of the dark, saddle-like marking on the back and sides of their light yellow or gray bodies of the adults.
