The natural world truly has everything. From the fiercest battles for survival, magical beauties, to creatures… so strange that no one thinks they exist in the world.

For example, the spider in the photo below, at first glance, looks like a Photoshopped image, but is actually a real animal.

It looks like a regular spider, except that its body grows two horns that look like a devil’s face.

The photo was taken by scientist Andreas Kay in July 2017 in Ecuador. It looks like a regular spider, except that its body grows two horns that look like a devil’s face. Others see it as a black wolf, but with the ears of a rabbit.

And you know what’s the strangest thing here? The monster above is not a spider, even though it looks like a spider.

The strange spider has a head with horns as cute as modeling clay.

It is known that this strange creature has the scientific name Metagryne bicolumnata , but indigenous people know it by the name bunny harvestman, or rabbit-eared rambutan . And it belongs to a complex group of spider-like arthropods – daddy long-legs spiders, which includes more than 6,600 species.

” They look “dangerous”, but they are not venomous, and are not harmful to humans “ – quoted by Andreas Kay. “They have existed for at least 400 million years, before the time of dinosaurs”.

It is known that rabbit-eared rambutans were discovered by humans in 1959, by German arthropod expert Carl Friedrich Reower. However, even though they have appeared for a long time, scientists are still not sure why they have such a strange appearance. Just know that there is a certain factor that has caused them to evolve to possess a black body, 2 ears, and 2 yellow dots that look like 2 eyes.

An interesting point is that those two yellow dots are just fake eyes. Their real eyes are in front of the scalp .

Look closely, the two shiny black dots in front of the face are the eyes.

According to Kay, they have a reason to possess this special shape, as they can “cosplay” into a larger sized predator. However, this hypothesis has not yet been tested.

Furthermore, there have never been any in-depth studies of this animal, other than a few published 60 years ago. Part of the reason is because Ecuador’s biosphere is so diverse that researching it all is… a bit difficult.

Scientists have long considered the Amazon rainforest to be the most species-rich biome, and tropical rainforests in the Americas are more species-rich than wetland forests in Africa and Asia. ASIAN.

Covering an area of more than 7 million km², the Amazon forest is located in countries such as Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela and other smaller countries. The Amazon jungle is home to a diverse range of animals and plants.

Among the largest rain forests in the Americas, the Amazon jungle is one of unmatched biodiversity. About 10% of all known species in the world exist in the Amazon forest. This is the place with the largest concentration of living animal and plant species in the world.
