5 – Flatfish
- Some animals may look dumb, but have fascinating evolutionary skills.
- This guy is called a Flatfish. When these fish are born, they look like ordinary fish. But when they hit puberty, one of the Flatfish’s eyes will literally migrate to the other side of the fish’s head to be with the other eye. But it’s not just some sort of teenage emo fish phase, they also start swimming on an angle until suddenly they’re entirely on their side and can live on the bottom of the seabed.
- They’re very intelligent creatures but man they look so stupid.
4 – Pink Fairy Armadillo
- No, this is not a prairie dog wearing pastel coloured armour; it’s actually a Pink Fairy Armadillo.
- Unlike your everyday tough-looking armadillo, this little precious creature’s shell is not actually fully attached to its body. It is so delicate and soft that it can’t use the shell to protect itself from predators. Apparently it uses the shell for more of a heating and cooling mechanism.
- Pink Fairy Armadillos tend to spend most of their time avoiding enemies by burrowing underground and chewing on ants and worms.
3 – Noses
- Evolution was not at all kind to these poor creatures, who have some of the dumbest noses in the whole animal kingdom.
- Firstly the Proboscis monkey, whose nose looks like a weird alien dick. How are the rest of the animals supposed to take him seriously when he has a penis for a nose? Then there’s also the Saiga Antelope whose snout is half elephant trunk, half camel nose and half vacuum cleaner.
- At least they’re still not as terrifying as the extinct dinosaur, No thank you evolution, not today.
2 – Turkeys
- The dumbest and arguably the most delicious of all birds has to be the classic domesticated turkey.
- You just have to look at these giant gobbly birds to see why they’re considered one of the dumbest birds in the world. Turkeys have a condition called Tetanic Torticollar Spasms, which means that every now and then they will stare at the sky for more than 30 seconds without blinking – even if it’s raining.
- Male turkeys also have a raging sex drive – they have been observed trying to have sex with mannequin turkeys and even just decapitated turkey heads.
1 – Dogs
- While some pets are very highly trained, these dogs definitely take the cake for doing the dumbest things ever.
- According to a pet insurance company, these were the most ridiculous claims made by their owners: This Labrador retriever whose name is ‘Stella Artois’ got her entire lower jaw stuck in a tin of beans. Another dog allegedly got himself stuck in a refrigerator and ate entire thanksgiving ham while he waited for someone to open the door. Apart from a tummy ache and a mild case of hypothermia, the dog fully recovered.
- And finally a pug named Harley who ate over 100 rocks in ten minutes and pooped them out one by one.
