Geoducks are definitely the strangest looking animals to make it onto this list. These gigantic saltwater clams barely look like clams at all. While the shell of this clam is only about 6 inches long, its “neck” can reach up to 3.5 feet in length.

Typically, Geoducks can live up to 140 years. But for those lucky few Geoducks that defy the odds and do not become a dinner table delicacy can be even luckier. The oldest living Geoduck in history was 168 years old.

Officers with Dallas Animal Control captured a wallaby on a leisurely jaunt in the east Dallas neighborhood of Lakewood Wednesday morning.

According to a report from The Dallas Morning News a couple were out for a walk when they spotted what they first thought was a loose dog near the 5900 block of Vickery Boulevard.

After seeing the animal hop, they realized it was a wallaby.

Dallas Animal Control officers were called and they were able to corner and catch the animal with a net.

The wallaby, a native of Australia and New Guinea, belongs in the same family as a kangaroo but is much smaller by comparison.

It is not clear who owns the animal. According to the DMN, it is not legal to own the animals in Dallas without a permit and no decision has been made about where the animal will end up.
