The naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber), also known as the sand puppy, or desert mole rat, is a burrowing rodent native to parts of East Africa and the only species currently classified in genus Heterocephalus.

It is notable for its eusocial lifestyle, nearly unique among mammals, and for a highly unusual set of physical traits that enables it to thrive in a harsh, underground environment; including a lack of pain sensation in its skin, and a nearly cold-blooded metabolism.

Billy Goats Buff

The Boer is an improved indigenous breed with some infusion of European, Angora and Indian goat breeding many years ago. Several researchers agree that the indigenous populations were probably from the Namaqua Hottentots and from southward migrating Bantu tribes.

The name is derived from the Dutch word "boer" meaning farmer and was probably used to distinguish the native goats from the Angora goats which were imported into South Africa during the 19th century. The present day Boer goat appeared in the early 1900's when ranchers in the Easter Cape Province started selecting for a meat type goat.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Perhaps the original buff dog, the American Pit Bull Terrier is not an animal you would mess with. Although bred for fighting these dogs tend to be simply more determined than vicious when reared as pets as the media would have you believe. Obviously they can be trained in such a way that they become vicious towards humans but so can any creature with a modicum of intelligence.

We're going to need an EVEN BIGGER boat!

It's a very rare deep sea shark but is found to be distributed pretty much wherever the water is deep enough. Saying that, only 39 have ever been found.
