Most of us know what dogs, cats, fishes, and lizards look like. We’re seeing them every day so there’s no reason not to know what they’re supposed to look like, right?
Well, here’s the thing.
Nature is indeed mysterious. And part of its mystery are the animals that don’t look like animals. From fishes that look like zombies to insects mimicking others’ appearance for survival, wildlife can truly be wild.
If you’re having a hard time believing that, check out these 35 animals that look like other things.
1. Like a cartoon character
Just look at those eyes! This puppy can easily pass as an anime character. With that look, he probably doesn’t have a hard time convincing his owner to give him treats all the time.
2. Three-headed cat
At first glance, you’d think that this cat suddenly developed two additional heads. In reality, they’re just extra clingy kittens that refuse to be away from their mom.
3. A different kind of otter
They’re trying to figure out who’s the spy among them. Looking at their reactions, it’s safe to say that the secret agent is far from being identified. He’s done an awesome job blending in.
4. Is that me?
The folds and the colors are on point. You can’t blame the pug for thinking it’s his picture.
5. He is Groot.
On second thought, he’s probably not Groot. Floof seems to be a better name for him. Woof might work for him, too.
6. The standing kitty
As most people say, cats are weird. They’re moody, mysterious, and lazy. At times, they like to imitate humans which can make one wonder if they’re just really pretending to be like that. Looking at how this cat’s standing up, it seems like he’s really a human disguised as a cat.
7. A bear or a paw?
Toe beans are just adorable. Apart from looking like jelly beans, they can also resemble a bear if you draw a smiley face on it.
8. Like a queen
She doesn’t look like a queen. She even acts like one!
9. Time to clean up
No, that’s not a mop. Komondors are known for their dreads which happen as a result of their overcoat and undercoat hair twisting.
10. Just happy
He thinks he’s a dog. He likes to stay like this, waiting for people to pet him.
11. Like baby Yoda

12. Nice vs naughty
Dogs’ ears can change their appearance quickly. When pulled down, they look like the nicest dogs on the planet.
13. Where did the hamsters go?

16. In disguise
This dog is doing a great job disguising as a duck. No one will be able to tell he’s a doggo with that outfit!

19. The fish that’s hard to ignore
For sure, you wouldn’t be able to resist looking at this fish after coming across it. The fish looks inside out!

21. With wings
Gliding lizards are also known as flying dragons or flying lizards. They use their wings for gliding and warning.

A turtle with two heads? It’s certainly not that common. It looks strange and out of this world. Despite that, you can’t say it’s not cute.

The flying gurnard is considered a bottom-dwelling fish. They are widely known for their enlarged pectoral fins which resemble butterflies.

Orchid mantises are considered as flower mantises for obvious reasons. Now, although they look pretty, they can bite you once startled or threatened.
