South America’s Poodle Moth

Large countries in South America tend to contain some of the rarest species of flora and fauna in the world. The poodle moth, which is characterized by a rather fluffy exterior with big luminous eyes, is one of these.

It is found in Venezuela, and can often be seen perching on cotton and other similar plan varieties. Scientists are still unsure of what species of moth this poodle moth belongs to, or if it is its own unique one.

This wolf looks like a hybrid between a dog and a fox. It has extremely long legs and a narrow upper body. While it is a carnivore, it tends to shy away from human settlements, which can make it harder to see in the wild.

As the nose has its own set of fingers, the mole is also known for being able to sniff out and eat whatever it catches in around 10 seconds. Imagine having a bowl of cereal, and being able to eat it in less than a minute.
