- Ghost Bat
Have you ever heard of a ghost bat? If not, now you know. Ghost bats are also known as false vampire bats that live in the night skies of Australia. Although they look like they are going to end up doing something creepy, they are pretty harmless. They are covered in grey fur and have button-like eyes that make them look adorable sometimes. These creatures are more likely to feast on other bat species and insects. They may even eat giant reptiles, frogs and birds. Since they have powerful bites, they can feed on these animals without any inconvenience.
- Ghost Crab
Ghost crabs are nothing like the crabs you get to eat in the most famous seafood restaurants. They are cute but creepy too. Although ghost crabs can’t harm you too much, their sting can hurt a bit. So, you might need to treat the crab with respect when it is around. Unlike most other crabs, these creatures are unable to swim in the waters. That is why you are more likely to find them on the land. These crabs can also see forward and backward at the same time. That is one of the most striking features.
